LOS ANGELES - One morsel of news that came out of last night's CNN Presents: A Larry King Special: Dinner With the Kings: Larry King wants to be frozen.
King hosted a dinner at his house with his wife Shawn and a camera crew, with guests Conan O'Brien, Seth MacFarlane, Tyra Banks, Shaquille O'Neal, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Quincy Jones and Russell Brand.
When MacFarlane asked King whether he was "maybe a little obsessed" with his own mortality, King, 78, said, "Oh, I fear death. My biggest fear is death, because I don't think I'm going anywhere. And since I don't think that, and I don't have a belief ... I'm married to someone who has the belief, so she knows she's going somewhere."
King said that when he dies, "I want to be frozen, on the hope that they'll find whatever I died of and they'll bring me back."
"This is big news," O'Brien said. "You would like to be frozen? This is news to me."
"It's the only hedging of a bet," answered King.
