Paris Hilton's CNN Chat Was a Ratings Winner  6/29/07

Paris Hilton's post-prison chat with U.S. broadcaster Larry King on Wednesday night (27Jun07) brought the veteran CNN talk show host his highest ratings of the season.

More than 3.2 million viewers tuned in to watch the socialite's first TV interview since her release from jail on Tuesday (26Jun07).

But although the chat brought him big ratings, King admits he wasn't sold on Hilton: "I'd have liked a bit more introspection."

And King was far from impressed when his special guest lied about reading the Bible in jail. When he asked her to name her favorite passage from the good book, Hilton was lost for words and looked awkwardly away.

King says, "I don't think Paris reads the Bible."
