The clip is credited to Larry King, the long-running American broadcaster known for his calm interview style on radio and television. Its exact original broadcast is not widely documented, so online it has circulated mainly as a short, self-contained reaction sound rather than as a famous catchphrase from a single moment. That simplicity is why it keeps appearing in edits and podcasts: a familiar, authoritative voice saying something is great needs no setup, and it works just as well for sincere praise as for light irony.
