CNN talk show host Larry King announced that he is ending his nightly show 'Larry King Live' later this year, bringing the curtains down on the 25-year-old show during which he had interviewed about 50,000 guests.

King, 76, made the announcement that "it's time to hang up my nightly suspenders" on his Twitter page and before he started his show on Tuesday. "I want to share some personal news with you. 25-years- ago, I sat across this table from New York Governor Mario Cuomo for the first broadcast of Larry King Live. Now, decades later, I talked to the guys here at CNN and I told them I would like to end Larry King Live, the nightly show, this fall," King said.
