>> ted managed to land a talk show host named larry king. >> one name out of the blue ted calls me and said, listen, we would like to have you come to cnn. i had never seen cnn. >> that wasn't the only obstacle. larry already had a job. and ted wanted him to start at cnn just four days later. >> they called the show larry king live. i knew ten minutes into that show, ten minutes talking to mario cuomo, that show was going to make it. ted saw that. ted saw that. >> cnn was growing. >> here's looking at you, kid. >> so was the rest of ted's empire. he bought mgm's entire library of films, including his favorite movie "gone with the wind". >> frankly my dear, i don't give a damn. >> then launched tnt, a network that would air them. after that -- cartoon network. turner classic movies. and networks in latin-america, asia, europe, and the middle east. ted's next conquest would be personal.
