A dictator is a ruler (e.g. absolutist or autocratic) who assumes sole and absolute power (sometimes, but not always, with military control or bribes) but not officially sanctioned by heritage, as in an absolute monarch. When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. The word originated as the title of a magistrate in ancient Rome appointed by the Senate to rule the republic in times of emergency (see Roman dictator and justitium).
Like the term "tyrant" (which was originally a respectable Ancient Greek title), and to a lesser degree "autocrat", "dictator" came to be used almost exclusively as a non-titular term for oppressive, even abusive rule, yet had rare modern titular uses.[citation needed]
In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly[citation needed]. Dictatorships are often characterized by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties; proclamation of a state of emergency; rule by decree; repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures; these include single-party state, and cult of personality.[citation needed]
Larry King (born November 19, 1933) is an American television and radio host whose work has been recognized with awards including two Peabodys and ten Cable ACE Awards. He began as a local Florida journalist and radio interviewer in the 1950s and 1960s and became prominent as an all-night national radio broadcaster starting in 1978. From 1985-2010, he hosted the nightly interview TV program Larry King Live on CNN.
King was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger in Brooklyn, New York City, to an Austrian immigrant Edward Zeiger, a restaurant owner and defense plant worker, and his wife Jennie Gitlitz, a garment worker, who emigrated from Belarus. King grew up in a religiously observant Jewish home, but in adulthood became an agnostic.
King's father died at 44 of heart disease, and his mother had to go on welfare to support her two sons. His father's death greatly affected King, and he lost interest in school. After graduating from high school, he worked to help support his mother. From an early age, however, he had wanted to go into radio. King is a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was an English comic actor, film director and composer best known for his work during the silent film era. He became the most famous film star in the world before the end of World War I. Chaplin used mime, slapstick and other visual comedy routines, and continued well into the era of the talkies, though his films decreased in frequency from the end of the 1920s. His most famous role was that of The Tramp, which he first played in the Keystone comedy Kid Auto Races at Venice in 1914. From the April 1914 one-reeler Twenty Minutes of Love onwards he was writing and directing most of his films, by 1916 he was also producing them, and from 1918 he was even composing the music for them. With Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith, he co-founded United Artists in 1919.
Chaplin was one of the most creative and influential personalities of the silent-film era. He was influenced by his predecessor, the French silent film comedian Max Linder, to whom he dedicated one of his films. His working life in entertainment spanned over 75 years, from the Victorian stage and the music hall in the United Kingdom as a child performer, until close to his death at the age of 88. His high-profile public and private life encompassed both adulation and controversy. Chaplin was identified with left-wing politics during the McCarthy era and he was ultimately forced to resettle in Europe from 1952.

A graduate of Cambridge University, Baron Cohen is most widely known for writing and playing four unorthodox fictional characters: Ali G, Borat, Brüno, and Admiral General Aladeen. In his routines, Baron Cohen's characters interact with unsuspecting people who do not realise they are being set up for comic situations and self-revealing ridicule.
Baron Cohen was named Best Newcomer at the 1999 British Comedy Awards for The 11 O'Clock Show, and since then, his work has been further recognised with two BAFTA Awards for Da Ali G Show, several Emmy nominations, a nomination for an Academy Award for Writing Adapted Screenplay, and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for his work in the feature film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.

Similarly, after the release of Brüno, Baron Cohen has stated he would also retire the title character.
Sometimes when I pay extra attention
I realize that everything that I once loved
Is now everything that drives me crazy.
I'm sure I'll see it one day, maybe.
They took this place and burnt it to the ground.
The cool kids all moved on, and I'm half way there.
The cool kids all moved on, and I'm getting scared.
Destroying everything and you're making a huge mess.
Your shitty attitude is gonna push us to the test.
So stand up with us and send these kids back to the fucking mall.
If you care at all.
The cool kids all moved on, and I'm halfway there.
The cool kids all moved on, and I'm getting scared.
You faked your way through this, and you've ruined all our fun.
and now what have we become?
Disgraced it, abused it, but am I the only one who misses where were from?
I knew when I moved in with you
That I couldn't live without you beside me (Stay, stay)
But I knew what to expect from you
Remember no-one said that it would be easy
Hard times when I stepped out of line
You said your woman has to act like a lady (Don't you
like my games?)
Your hard lines, but all depends in mine
And you just have to get used to them, baby
Your frozen heart is gonna melt for me
I'm gonna turn this love into what it's supposed to be
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
Dictator
You're such a dictator
True love fits me just like a glove
But it's something that you just can't get used to
(Tight fit)
Your love needs more than a shove
And you can bet that I am going to push you
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
Dictator
You're such a dictator
Dictator
You're such a dictator
Your frozen heart is gonna melt for me
I'm gonna turn this love into what it's supposed to be
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw, love that is sure
I won't ask for more from you, baby
A riddle that's raw

Yes I am the dictator the more guns I got the better
Yes I am the liquidator I carry the old Beretta
You know there once was freedom
You know how dangerous that can be
The people used to dance & sing
& they used to run wild in the streets
But now I am the voice
Howling from your radio
From my armour plated Cadillac
You'll hear what I say goes
Yes I am the dictator I satisfy the U.S. team
I always do my killing in the woods & keep the city gutters clean
Cos I need a few more dollars
For my fighter pilot to be free
To dive bomb on the population
If they go running wild in the streets
Yes I am that voice...etc
Yes I am the crusador I spent twenty years in exile
But now I am the invader & I'm never never gonna die
Yes I am the dictator my name is on your ballot sheet
But until my box has your cross you know the form is incomplete
And you know........etc
My contemplation achieved
Decay:Solution:Self
Through stories and beliefs crystallized
Until strength and spirit are melted
You shall hate me for what I am
I shall love you for what you do
Reflections of death shape the framework of might
Enlightened by anger, one unique end: The collapse divine
Kneel in front of your dictator
Give your soul, spill their blood
Be embraced by honour
Don't step back, nor repent
Follow.Serve.Obey.Worship
Devoted flesh - canonized soul
Follow.Serve.Obey.Worship
Fulfilled duty - sacred empire
Kneel in front of your dictator
Give your soul, spill their blood
Be embraced by honour
Don't step back, nor repent
Raise the name of your dictator
Die for him, blind and bold
Beyond either flesh or time
Live again and again
Dominate.Consecrate
Temples falling - genocide proceeding
Abolish.Soul and flesh
Foundations of God disfigured by blood
