Radio/television personality Ryan Seacrest is in talks to replace late night newsman Larry King on King’s CNN ratings hit Larry King Live later this year.

According to MSNBC, the face of American Idol, who routinely fills-in for Larry, could take over hosting duties on the talk show as soon as December:

“He’s so serious about his career, but like anyone, he wants it to evolve. Hosting ‘Larry King’ would be perfect for him,” a CNN snitch gushed to MSNBC.

Ryan Seacrest, who in addition Idol host his own morning radio program, On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, is the 76th Best-Paid Celebrity in America, taking in an estimated $14 million a year, according to Forbes Magazine.
