Larry King is writing another book that is due out next summer. Broadcasting & Cable posted details about What Am I Doing Here? last month. Here's an excerpt from the article:

Larry King will tell all about his hardscrabble childhood in Brooklyn, his seven marriages to six different women and who he voted for in every election in an autobiography due in June 2009.

The longtime host of CNN’s Larry King Live will publish What Am I Doing Here? through Weinstein Books, a division of The Weinstein Co. The memoir, to be written with Esquire magazine writer Cal Fussman, is targeted for Father’s Day next year.

“I am delighted to be working with Bob and Harvey [Weinstein], who have distinguished themselves by making award-winning films and publishing quality books,” King said in a statement. “Their books are some of the most talked-about and well-produced titles in the business, and I am thrilled to be one of their authors. My life story could not be in better hands.”

According to a release announcing the deal, the forthcoming book also promises to examine King’s discovery, at age 65, that he had a grown son he never knew about, as well as his “uncensored feelings” toward the U.S. presidents he’s interviewed, from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush.

It will also examine the origins of King’s childhood nickname, “Zeke the Greek the Mouthpiece.”


And one quick clip... this is from CNN.com. A cartoon from Dan Shefelman featuring Red, Blue and CNN's Larry King.

Surprisingly, Larry King has written a multitude of books in the past and non of them were ever best sellers. I don't see why this would be any different, but he can keep hoping.
