RYAN SEACREST IS IN SERIOUS NEGOTIATIONS TO TAKE OVER LARRY KING LIVE WHEN THE KING RETIRES

.

Forget about the Katie Couric rumors... We have a much juicier fill in for the King on CNN. Word is that Ryan Seacrest is actually in serious negotiations to replace Larry when he retires.

This doesn't surprise media insiders. Larry told The New York Times in April 2007 that Seacrest would be his first choice to take over the show when the time came.

“He’s the classic generalist,” said King. “The only thing I don’t know, and I’ve gotten to know him pretty well, is how versed he is in politics, world affairs. Does he read the paper? Is he interested in Iraq? Because if he is, he’s going to be very good.”

Do you think Ryan would be the right replacement for Larry King Live?
