Larry King on Bob's birthday special

(1/2) > >>

Adam Nedeff:
I don't know if Steve Beverly elected to use this term himself or if he was quoting CBS's press release, but his story on Bob's 80th birthday special mentions hat it will include a special appearance by Bob's "longtime personal friend, Larry King."

Uh...would this be the same Larry King who didn't know Bob's wife died 20 years ago when Bob was a guest on his show. I mean, I'll admit I don't know EVERYTHING about my friends, but I'd like to think in the coming years, I'll be aware of when their spouses die.

So either they've really stretched the term "friend" here or they're using the term as a set-up for a special Showcase skit with Norm MacDonald doing his Larry King bit in full make-up. ("Of all the birthdays that Bob Barker has ever had, this is probably one of the three or four most recent.")

Was Bob on Larry King's recent 70th birthday show?

 Maybe Larry forgot to take his Ginsana, Ester C, or Rejuvex that day which affected his memory.

And what is a personal friend? Either you're friends with someone or you're not.

There's no such thing as an impersonal friend. At least, I don't think there is.

 Where does Thomas Boggs fit into Bob's life(those who were in ATGS c. 1999 will remember him posting quite a bit about knowing Bob to some degree)
