Check out the fun dinner Larry King threw for his celeb friends. Then, check out my throw down to you and win a cool prize.

What’s Larry King’s doing in “retirement?”

Well, “The King” has a new gig.  He has celebrity friends over for dinner.  It’s all to promote his new television show.  CNN Presents: A Larry King Special: Dinner with the Kings airs at 8 p.m. ET Sunday.

The first episode features Conan O’Brien, Tyra Banks, Shaquille O’Neal, Seth MacFarlane, Jack Dorsey, Quincy Jones, and Russell Brand.  (You don’t recognize the name, “Jack Dorsey?”  He invented a little thing called “Twitter.”)

Larry King and his wife Shawn asked celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck to assemble a five course meal and the cool guests supplied the fun and laughs.

The first such dinner showcased Wolfgang’s classics, including Spago’s signature smoked salmon pizza with dill crème fraiche and caviar, mini burgers, sesame miso cones filled with spicy tuna tartare, and a whole wild king salmon the chefs filleted on-site in the Kings’ kitchen.
