Larry King just got a lifetime Emmy Award, and he was seen at a New York restaurant running around the restaurant introducing himself to everybody carrying his Emmy and showing it to people. (interruption) Larry King. The guy that wears the suspenders, Snerdley. He had a talk show on CNN. (interruption) He &#8220;used to be on TV,&#8221; yeah, yeah. He got a lifetime Emmy. A lifetime Emmy. So he was on CNN with Drew Griffin. Who is Drew Griffin? Obviously he\u2019s a CNN anchor. What time is CNN\u2019s Newsroom on? (interruption) Well, it\u2019s a show called Newsroom. Yeah, I don\u2019t know if they actually have a newsroom in the building but they have a show called Newsroom.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_54597\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/larryking.jpg\"\/>Anyway, King was on this, and Griffin said, &#8220;You know, Larry, so many people watching this are maybe 26, and they don\u2019t remember how long ago you started.&#8221; Uh&#8230; (laughing) If there are any 26-year-olds watching CNN, it\u2019s \u2019cause they don\u2019t have the remote. Ha! (laughing) They can\u2019t find the remote or else they\u2019re at the airport. &#8220;You know, Larry, so many people watching this are maybe 26, and they don\u2019t remember how long ago you started &#8212; and I don\u2019t mean that negatively,&#8221; Larry. I\u2019m not saying you\u2019re Jurassic Park, &#8220;but you built a lot of this cable TV news industry.&#8221; You did it yourself. &#8220;Is there any one moment that sticks out in your mind to be the pinnacle&#8221; of your career?<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">KING: I think the Perot-Gore debate. It was a program that had for the first time ever a sitting vice president debating an ordinary citizen &#8212; Algore and Ross Perot going at it &#8212; and the House of Representatives passed it. It was gonna lose, and Bill Clinton wrote that &#8220;I owe you big time because you changed that vote.&#8221; Well, I didn\u2019t change it, the show changed it. That would be the moment.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\"><img xhtml:id=\"eZObject_54600\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/KingGorePerot.jpg\"\/>RUSH: That\u2019s NAFTA. This was the NAFTA debate. If you\u2019re 26, you may not even know what that is. But I remember this. In fact, I remember three or four days after the NAFTA debate on CNN, I was an invited and esteemed guest on 60 Minutes, at the Temple of Dendur at the museum on Fifth Avenue. It was an anniversary show. It was an anniversary dinner for 30 years, 60 years, 100 years, whatever it was of 60 Minutes &#8212; and they had a number of people they had profiled, and they let that the 60 Minutes that they were gonna have fireworks \u2019cause they seated me at the table with Camille Paglia, who is a firebrand art professor, university arts &#8212; she\u2019s lesbian &#8212; and they thought, they thought that there would be fireworks. I\u2019m sitting there, and Camille Paglia and I got along famously that night.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">It was a fun night. But Steve Kroft and Ed Bradley and all these guys kept circle our table during dinner. They just kept waiting for the fireworks, like they\u2019re stroking their chins with knowing smiles on their faces like fireworks were about to erupt. That was only reason I was there: as a circus act. I remember the cocktail party in the Temple of Dendur before we actually went to sit down&#8230; (interruption) Well, that was the display, the Temple of Dendur, the museum display. Tom Brokaw came up, and he was beside himself over the ratings that the NAFTA debate got on CNN. It got an 11 or 12, cable numbers. This is \u201993, \u201994, and cable numbers news numbers had never seen anything that high. Brokaw was around, he couldn\u2019t believe it. I was stunned. But that\u2019s not the only thing. During this debate, the Gore-Perot debate on NAFTA, Algore said something for the ages.<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">ALGORE 1993: Let me just finish this one point &#8212; and distinguished Americans from Colin Powell to Tip O\u2019Neill to Rush Limbaugh&#8230;<\/p>\n<paragraph xmlns:tmp=\"http:\/\/ez.no\/namespaces\/ezpublish3\/temporary\/\">RUSH: (laughing) That\u2019s 1993, November 9, 1993, I was a distinguished American that night on the show. Yeah. Yeah. Colin Powell, Tip O\u2019Neill, Rush Limbaugh. Yeah, I was a distinguished American that night. Anyway, that\u2019s Larry\u2019s big night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Yesterday on CNN\u2019s Newsroom, the host Drew Griffin interviewed Larry King.
