A Larry King Special: The Death of Sean Connery

Today we lost an extraordinary gentleman: Legendary actor, Sir Sean O'Connery. I could name so many of his classic movies but the teleprompter is glitching.

Of course we all know him as the original James Bourne. He also played Robin Hood, The Wizard of Oz, and Young Indiana Jones. He worked with all the greats: Katharine Hepburn, Joan Gielgud, Steven Segal, I could name so many more if Murray would get that teleprompter working.

He retired from acting in 2006 due to a severe case of thunderballs. But a new generation discovered O'Connell's legacy with the release of the biopic starring Daniel Craig. And tonight we're celebrating that legacy with his peers, his costars, and his fans.

Joining us now by satellite is Sean Connerty's favorite Bomb Girl, Dianna Rigg. Murray, why are you shaking your head? Uh, we'll be back after this commercial break.

Seen Connelly will of course always be remembered for his hit record "Wake You Up Before I Gojo" when he was a member of Ham.

He's also well known for his role as James Bong in "Goldstinger" and "Doctor On."

We'll have Dick Clark on satellite from Pismo Beach after this word from Prostrate Salve - suffer no more......

Folks, we are waiting for a call-in from Sean's ex-wife Madonna. She should be on the phone momentarily.

It's been said that Sean Hannity hit the ladies - I mean, was a hit with the ladies - but his life wasn't all shillelaghs and beer. His girlfriend Petula Clarke called him "a pain in the arse" and his first wife, Diana Cilantro, called their marriage entrapment and found him untouchable. But he eventually found love with cheese heiress Micheline Roquefort. I'll be asking La Widow Roquefort about their love story, and what wine goes with camembert, after this word from First Alert.

Shawn Cassidy was a true Scott man. He loved the name, the drink, the county. Now to Beth in the Bethesda.

Beth? Beth?

We seem to have lost Beth in Bethesday.

Speaking of birthdays, Connelly was born to a mother near and around the Isle of Man. Which makes sense if you think about it.

Beth? Beth?

I think the best Sean movie was that one where she was dressed up like some cat thing and meowed all over. Crazy kid. Crazy. Easy to see why she died. I saw the photos today and it must have been cancer, because she was balder than... Balder than a bald person.

Who've we got on, Bob? Do we have anyone? No?

And we're back.

Folks, I don't know if you realize how much the great Sir Connery was into science fiction. He did a lot. One of the best was "Meteor," from about Nineteen Something. Let's get with his fellow cast member to hear how the great man was in a different kind of movie.

We have Natalie Wood, his love interest. A lot of people's love interest. Rowrrrr.

What, Bob? Oh, right. Glub club.

Okay. Karl Malden. Oscar winner, too.

What, Bob? NO! Him? I just saw him at Toots Shor's.

Well, let's talk with Brian Keith.

No?

Okay. Here's costar Martin Landau! Another Oscar person!

Huh? Well, crap.

Let's get Trevor Howard!

Fuck. Bleep that.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have Richard Dysart. You know his face.

He's dead, too?

The great Hank Fonda is on, with nothing to do but talk to us!

Crap. Has anyone told Jane. She back from Hanoi yet? Gonna be a shock!

Joseph Campanella! Played the President in this great Meteor movie?

Okay. Well, he looked like death, so I shouldn't be surprised. Who's next on the list? Bo Brundin? Who the hell's he? But he's alive? Get him, get him, while you can, Bob. Oh. Nursing home. Well, who's next? Dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.

Jesus, just like "The Conqueror"!

Bob, any of the Duke's grandsons still alive? We've got to investigate this!

But first a word from Longine Symphonette and their fresh new hipper hopper cross-over hit 33 LP, "Kanye Does Cole Porter!"

Bob, notice it's not the other way around. He's not Coal Porter, after all. Right? Right? Two for me!

We've scored a bit of a coup here with TWO of Sean's closest friends on the line at once: singer-songwriters Rosanne Clash and Steve Earle. Rosanne and Sean performed together many times in concert, and Steve recorded a duets album with Sean a few years back.

Rosanne, as the stepdaughter of June Carter Clash, we'll start with you: don't you think it's a pity Sean will only be remembered for that Grammy Award-winning hit, "Sunny Came Home?"

And we're back.

Okay. Now let's talk about something that's been bugging me for years.

Why was he called "Shawn" when the spelling said "Seen"? I mean, I'm Larry and it's pronounced "Larry," like in the Bible.

So I just had a call with a very prominent person at FOX who I'm not going to name. And Tucker had this to say:

[quote]What was he trying to hide, this big time Hollywood actor with a strange accent? And does it involve children stolen from England, little children, in connection with the Bidens? You've seen how Hunter Biden is built. Those babies wouldn't have a chance. He tore them apart. And imagine what it was like when he and Obama were at it. You KNOW those babies were just cored out. CORED OUT! And, you know, here at America's FOX we all call the great Sean Hannity "Seen Hannity" like it ought to be, but all the Lefties keep using the pedophile pronunciation to try to cut us patriot journalists down.

That's some intriguing evidence.

What do you think, listeners? Was "Shawn Connery" trying to hide a criminal record in Scottishland? I'm not saying it's true, but something smells bad and it ain't the haggis this time.

Next up, Liza Minelli talks about the time she slipped this dead socialist foreigner a lude at Studio 57 -What, Bob? Oh, 4 - Studio 4 to see if it would get him to dance with her. Such a great man.

But first a word from Depends. Now in Minty Fresh, Applie Pie and Meatloaf scents.

(Microphone left hot: Bob, should I have said Studio Number 2 with Depends? Huh? Get it? Ding-ding-ding!)

Question. What effect will this death have on the election? Anyone know what Sir Connery's party was? Because we KNOW he liked to party. Martini man. Liked the ladies. Leg man. Liked those legs. Now, me, I'm a breast man. Oh, some of those wings are good, lotsa sauce. Not the hot stuff. Bad for the gut. My gut. So I take antacids. And a lot of people are upset now with the vote. Lots of antacid. So I'm wondering. Will Trump win because Sir Bond is dead, or will Biden get the sympathy vote?

Shirley, welcome to the show. Thanks for being here. So sorry about your loss. Tell me, did you know that Shawn would be such an icon growing up? He went from pop singer-- I loved his version of Da Do Bond Bond -- to renowned international spy.

Was it difficult for him to conduct his spy missions with his face so well known throughout the world? And all the women he bedded! Did he bring them all home to meet you? I'll bet Pussy Galor was your favorite. Or was it Honey Ryder?

But I think what people most want to know. Why didn't you get Shawn to guest star with you on Pear Tree Family?

First, Kobe Brioche died in a horrific chopped salad accident. Truly tragic. He was a talented piece of meat, that's for sure. Then the timelessly beautiful - and flower girl at my second wedding - Olivia de Habitat met her maker. At least she left behind a young corpse. Well, now Stanley.

Personal note now, people. Had a project set up with Sir Canary and our beloved Mr President. The three of us playing golf on Trump's course in Scotchland. Trump arrives on Air Force One, Canary in his gold Aston Martin. Three guys in their prime having fun, but with tough questions from me. Like Frost and Nixon, but also with OJ, before he was found to be a murderer. I wanted Canary to wear that woman's skirt that Scotch folk use, the quilt.

Topics? Canary starred in 'The Russia House', so there's one perfect link. We've all got firm views on the woman problem, so push-back on Me Too was in the mix. Don't tell me guys wouldn't eat that up. We all miss the good old days. Wanted to focus too on how Canary had to fight prejudice that he wasn't as good as George Lazerbeam in James Bomb. But Queen Victoria knew, which is why she made him a Lord.

Never heard back from Canary or Trump, but I know why: it's the China Plague. At least Sir Canary died at peace, without a ventilator, in his beloved Banana Isles. Biggest tragedy? He never got to see the result we all want on Tuesday. We'll be right back.

Well that brings me to my next question...was there much sibling rivalry, with you being Lana Del Ray and your sister having a huge 90s hit with "Torn"? Whose music do you think Sinead preferred most? Dare I say--what song would've been on her iPod when she croaked? And was the current Pope still mad at Sinead for tearing up the photo of the old Pope on 'MadTV'? Speaking of, up next we have the first black cardinal, Wilford Brimley. Wait, he's dead?
