Sorry, Larry King. We hate to do it to you, because you're a TV legend, but you really do look like Mr. Burns from 'The Simpsons.' These days, television is littered with chat shows and talk shows, where famous people come to sit on a sofa and chew the fat with a charismatic host. Most of the people doing that today - from James Corden to Jimmy Kimmel - owe their profession to King, who almost invented the format on 'The Larry King Show' during the 1970s. In truth, he started even longer ago than that - he was already interviewing people on the radio during the 1950s.
Nothing we've ever seen from King suggests that he's anything like as evil as Mr. Burns, the megalomaniac billionaire arch-villain from 'The Simpsons,' and Homer's boss. Burns is a man so wicked that he once tried to block out the sun so he could sell more nuclear energy to Springfield's residents! One thing the two do have in common is their age - they're both octogenarians - so perhaps the dress sense and the matching hairstyles is just the fashionable thing to do when you pass your 80th birthday.
