Oy! CNN extends Larry King's contract

From Perez:

Sources tell TVNewser that CNN and Larry King have agreed to a contract extension, which will keep the anchor with the network through 2010, beyond his 77th birthday.

> Update: The extension will actually continue until June 2011. TVNewser spoke with King's agent, John Ferriter, who confirmed the deal to be, "the exact same deal as last time," just extended for two years. "Larry's thrilled to continue to call CNN his home," said Ferriter.

A recent New York Times story speculating about Katie Couric's future reported that King's contract was set to expire in the summer of 2009.

Oy! I do think he is losing it a bit. Who can forget this classic exchange with Jerry Seinfield where he blows up when Larry says that Seinfield was cancelled! "Can we get a resume in here for me for Larry to go over?!!"
