It doesn't matter how many times I hear this. It is my all time favorite Larry King story.

[@josephballerini3730]

He tells it well.

[@sebastianmoraga4785]

He really does. Kudos to Stern for letting him tell it without trying to upstage him.@@josephballerini3730

[@youngpower24]

But why would Jackie do that for Larry?

[@rlevitta]

To prove that he could do the impossible.

[@KaBoomChannel]

@@rlevitta - YES! Exactly! Remember, Jackies nickname was "The great one"

[@steveconn]

Jackie and Sinatra both loved to dine at Toots Schor's in NY, that's probably how they knew each other.

[@GDuncan8002]

The value of networking.

[@silvaadourian3185]

Only one frank 🥰

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Jackie got Frank to do 3 hours while he only covered him for one. Thats the Gleason surcharge

[@Savorist]

Real Stern fans know the funniest part of this clip is Fred's laugh at 2:39

[@matthewwilson5180]

Just to be clear he’s talking about Jackie the Jokeman Martling and not Jackie Gleason

[@frankb5728]

hah, he wishes

[@CoachatCole]

Howard was about the f-up the entire story

[@joecastle2588]

Stern killed him with boredom. #sternblows
