NYP Page Six
Charlie, nearly 70, was an old hand at CBS News.

  1. If they're going for youth, I understand Larry King is available. 
    Actually, Charlie's the guy Westwood One owner Norm Pattiz wanted to replace Larry on the radio back in 1993, but the Mutual affiliates advisory board said Larry's backup had earned the right to fail.  I forget his name...

  2. That be you, Jim!  I once appeared on Charlie's CBS Nightwatch program modeling REALLY EXPENSIVE fur coats along with a couple of other chicks.  Like a Russian sable.  I don't recall the context of my appearance.  It was in the mid-1980s, I think.  The 80s were a lost decade for me because of my boozing.  Charlie has a booze problem.  I won't go into it but the last time I saw him (early 1990s) he was nearly incoherent.
