"I want to be frozen in the hope that they'll find whatever I died of and bring me back," he tells a table of celebrities on CNN Presents: A Larry King Special: Dinner With the Kings.
The special, airing Sunday, takes place in the former talk-show host's dining room and features the faces of Russell Brand, Seth MacFarlane, Tyra Banks and Conan O'Brien, who were all a little taken back by King's announcement.
"This is big news," O'Brien says. "You would like to be frozen? This is news to me."
"It's the only hedging of a bet," King replied.
