NEW YORK, New York --

Larry King is ready to tell his story.

“What Am I Doing Here?” will cover everything from the CNN host’s childhood in Brooklyn to his multiple marriages.

It will be published by Weinstein Books on Father’s Day 2009.

“This book will be absolutely devoured by Larry King’s millions of fans,” Weinstein co-chair Harvey Weinstein said Monday in a statement. “He is a true media icon — one whose personal and professional journey to date is filled with delightfully evocative anecdotes and behind-the-scenes observations on some of our most important world figures.”

According to Weinstein Books, the 74-year-old King also will offer “uncensored” opinions on the many world leaders he has interviewed, including the first and second President Bush, Bill
Clinton and Ronald Reagan. King will even reveal whom he voted for in each election and which president he considers the worst.

The book will be co-authored by Esquire writer Cal Fussman.
