Tonight is Larry King’s last show on CNN, which did this retrospective from some key interviews on “Larry King Live” over his 25 years there. Personally, BoomTown likes when he forgets things, but the Marlon Brando smooch is still pretty good television.

Here is the very funny opening video for the premiere of late-night host Conan O’Brien’s new talk show on TBS.

I Can't Believe I Am Now Following Ashton Kutcher on Twitter (Though His Smackdown of CNN Was Sweet)

The CNN cable news channel passed the million mark soon after, but was still second. The race was getting close as midnight neared on the West Coast. Not a real race, but a race of the Twits.

Now, I am worried about what Kutcher–whose Twitter handle is aplusk–will do with his one million minions. Order us all to play idiotic practical jokes on people? Rent Demi Moore movies, even the unwatchable ones (“G.I. Jane” anyone?), over and over? Get 1970s mullets?
