Larry King’s Gift to the World: Himself

Harvey Weinstein announced today that the publishing arm of The Weinstein Company has acquired the rights to publish Larry King‘s “definitive autobiography,” What Am I Doing Here?

In a press release, King said, “I am delighted to be working with Bob and Harvey, who have distinguished themselves by making award-winning films and publishing quality books. Their books are some of the most talked-about and well-produced titles in the business, and I am thrilled to be one of their authors. My life story could not be in better hands,” King said.

In addition to discussing personal details including his seven marriages to six women, and discovering at age 65 that he had a fully grown son he never knew about, King will also reveal his feelings about George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Regan, Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon. He also intends to disclose who he voted for in each election and why.

What Am I Doing Here? will be Published for Father’s Day 2009.
