Many fans, including former NBA player Rex Chapman, resurfaced a testy 2007 exchange with King and comedian Jerry Seinfeld after the CNN host wondered if the NBC hit sitcom "Seinfeld" was ended by the star or by the network canceled.
"You gave it up, right? They didn't cancel you. You canceled them," King said.
"You're not aware of this?" Seinfeld reacted in disbelief. "You think I got canceled? Are you under the impression that I got canceled?!?"

"Did I hurt you, Jerry?" King smirked. "Most shows go down."
"Is this CNN?" Seinfeld asked. "I went off the air. I was the number one show on television, Larry! Do you know who I am?... 75 million viewers, last episode!"
"What, don't take it so bad!" King exclaimed.
"Well, there's a big difference between being canceled and being number one!" Seinfeld fired back.
"Okay, I'm sorry!" King apologized.
Conservative writer Josh Jordan shared an exchange between King and actor Danny Pudi after the "Larry King Now" host asked what is a "luxury that you can't live without."
"A luxury I can't live without... coffee," Pudi responded.
"That's not a luxury, you can get that anywhere," King quickly dismissed the answer.
"I like my socks," Pudi then answered.

"But that's not a luxury though, coffee and socks are not a luxury," King ripped Pudi.

"A private plane," King answered.
"Larry, I'm on 'DuckTales,'" Pudi reacted.

Franklin Graham shared a clip of King's interview with his father, the Rev. Billy Graham, who both discussed the subject of death.
"We face death every day," Graham told King. "It's the most democratic thing in the world. It brings us all to the same level. Everybody's going to die... It's the greatest statistic in the world, one out of every one dies."
"And we all fear it," King later chimed in.
"And we all fear it," Graham agreed. "And we have a right to. It's called The Last Enemy, it's called The Great Enemy, it's called The King of Terrors."

"How does Billy Graham approach it?" King asked.
"Well, since I've received Christ into my heart, the sting of death is gone," Graham answered. "It's instinctive to want to live. I mean, that's something God gave us and if we don't have that sense of self-preservation, we would all die and we might go out and commit suicide. But I'm not afraid of death. I'm looking forward to death itself, I'm not looking forward to the dying process."
