King is best known for his 25-year stint hosting "Larry King Live," a CNN talk show. Though the show ended in 2010, King continues to share his signature sense of humor through Twitter, tweeting things like, "My middle name is BBQ."
Last night King discussed his Twitter game with Conan O'Brien on "Conan," the Daily Dot reports.
"I sit down on Sunday nights and I stream out these thoughts," King told O'Brien. "I don't type them out, my wife sends them out."
When his wife's not around, King dictates his tweets to voicemail. They're then transcribed by an assistant who posts them to King's Twitter account, @kingsthings, he has said.

King labels these Sunday twitter sessions with the hashtag #itsmy2cents. Often, they are simple questions and realizations that the average person wouldn't even stop to consider. For example, here's a tweet where King ruminates on a forgotten fashion trend.
It seems to me women don't wear ankle bracelets anymore.#itsmy2cents

O'Brien highlights some of his favorites from King's Twitter musings, including, "I don't think I've ever eaten a turnip," and, "the rat is perfectly named."
