Happy Birthday Larry!
Madonna phoned in to CNN’s Larry King Live lst night to wish Larry a Happy 70th Birthday.
The whole show was a surprise of sorts with tons & tons of special guests in the studio, on the phone, or on tape – including Tom Cruise, Sharon Stone, Oprah, Dolly Parton, Dr. Phil, Gerald Ford, Barbara & George Bush, Cher, Ryan Seacrest, Ross Perot, Mike Wallace, Andy Griffith, Don Knotts, Nancy Reagan, Tony Bennett, Wayne Newton, Chris Isaak, Pavoratti and many others.
Madonna called in just after Sharon Stone showed up on set – and Dr. Phil was joking about how great Larry must feel having Sharon stone on one side and Madonna in his ear. Madonna joked that the three of them together are like a cookie!
McGraw: While you’re opening that, there’s somebody that I want you to talk to on the phone that wants to wish you a happy birthday. Madonna, are you there?
Madonna: Yes, indeed, I am. Larry, are you there?
King: I am here, Madonna.
Madonna: I’m calling to wish you a happy birthday.
King: I told you not to call me here.
Madonna: I’m sorry. I can’t help it. The world has to know.
King: Hey, Madonna, that’s very nice of you.
Madonna: Listen, your mother, Jenny, would be so proud of you tonight. Her little label (ph).
King: Oh, yeah.
Madonna:Happy 70th.
King: That’s my – Jenny died in 1976. And I think of her often. I think of my father, who died very young when I was only 9 1/2.
Madonna: Well, they’re both with you.
King: I hope you’re right.
Madonna: I know I’m right.
McGraw: Well, Madonna, we were asking him how 70 was feeling. And I got the feeling it’s getting a whole lot better. He’s got Sharon Stone on one elbow. He’s got you in his ear. I mean, that’s a pretty good 70th birthday.
Madonna: It’s kind of like a cookie.
King: I feel like an Oreo.
Madonna: Creamy fluff in the middle.
McGraw: You bet. Madonna, thanks for calling.
King: Thank you, Madonna.
Madonna: You’re so welcome. Have a good day.
King: Thank you, dear.
The show aired from 9pm – 10pm ET – and repeats tonight at Midnight ET and again at 3am ET in the US.
