Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good. ↗

A typical 'Larry King Live' is a pastiche whose absurdism defies parody. Wearing his trademark suspenders and purple shirts, he looks as if he's strapped to the chair with vertical seat belts, unable to eject. ↗
