They’re contemplating Larry’s death, and Conan makes it the funniest thing in the world. And that, kids, is why ya gotta always consider the context!

Larry King, not Live
RIP

Haven’t he done so many interviews, which have been recorded, that he could form the basis of a computer program?
Inititially, it wouod be played with a keyboard, an operator typing the words and selecting gestures (or maybe an operator for each). Kind of like a Mellotron.
But AI could analyze those interviews, so the program would emulate Larry’s thinking, and the show could go on forever.

I don’t really have fond memories of Larry King, to be honest. He seemed like he was the penultimate Wall Street Republican on his interviews: superficially neutral, but really a supporter of wealth as a sign of virtue. Kind of fitting that his last show was carried by Russia Today—I mean, RT.
Guy had a long life. I am much, much more saddened by the passing of Mira Furlan.

Seriously, it would be ghoulish to continue to profit from a personality after death, when there are so many talented living people who could be doing that work instead.
