Larry's journey to the Hot Seat began three years ago. After auditioning in Houston, he was picked for the show and on his way to the airport when he collapsed in the car and had to be rushed to the hospital; a very bad bacterial infection cost him his right foot. The same thing had happened a year before to his left foot, which is why he's in a wheelchair. A year later, he was picked for the show again, but he was still in rehab and couldn't attend. The third time's the charm, and this time Larry said he was coming, no matter what!
Larry's parents, Clarence and Mary Anne, are in the audience.
Larry also wants to ride in a charity bike race, in 2010, from Houston to Austin, TX.
