Larry King didn't actually die, tweets: 'I'm still alive'

12/22/2012

Television’s "Methuselah" Larry King tweeted to confirm he was still breathing yesterday, after the web feared he'd died.  A noted playwright of the same name (and author of "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas") passed away on December 20th, sending fans of the high-waisted interviewer into a tailspin of R.I.P. tweets. The confusion was not uncommon throughout both men’s lives. According to the playwright’s obituary, one D.C. restaurant settled the problem by asking them, when reserving a table, to identify themselves as either “Larry King ‘Radio’ ” or “Larry King ‘Whorehouse.’ ”
