"As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives." Such is the start of an English nursery rhyme. But the man was not Larry King although he has had seven wives. Larry said goodbye to his TV audience Thursday surrounded by celebrities, former host anchors and a few surprises. One was a cameo from Bill Clinton in Little Rock. Larry was getting pretty emotional with all the surprises and he blurted out to Clinton "You and I are members of the zipper club." Bill Clinton is not often lost for words but he seemed to be caught off guard by this remark. Meanwhile, a producer must have cued Larry for he felt he had to explain the zipper referred to was the scar left from open heart surgery which they both had undergone. To which Clinton quickly retorted "I'm glad you clarified that.!!" An unscripted moment which is the joy of live television.
