    Larry King Cuts to the Chase

    Interviewing Katie Hall, who in 1976 was abducted and raped, by now-notorious kidnapper Phillip Garrido, Larry King let the victim yammer about being picked up, outside a supermarket, forced into a car, before asking what viewers really wanted to know.

    King patiently walked Hall through the tale of how when she was 25 years old, Garrido got in her car as she came out of a grocery store, jostling aside her shopping bags and then directed her down a deserted side side street, before handcuffing her and slamming her head against the steering well.

    Then finally, having set the scene, King was able to ask the question on America's mind.

    Thanks to anokaything for the tip.
