Larry King becomes spokesperson for a breath freshener

Former CNN host Larry King has taken on a new role on Television - as spokesperson for a breath freshener.

The 77-year-old and his wife Shawn will promote All Natural BreathGemz on TV and radio spots starting this week.

"Everyone knows Larry loves to talk," the New York Daily News quoted King's seventh wife as saying in the commercial.

"Interview," corrects King, dressed in his signature suspenders. "...Having fresh breath is a very important thing to me."

The legendary host said he and his wife, "love" the breath freshener so much that they have become partners with the company. The objective, King said, is to "make sure people share our enthusiasm" for the mint-coated capsules.
