How will the folks in Lake Wobegon ever survive without him? Legendary radio host Garrison Keillor, 68, has told the AARP Bulletin that he plans to retire in 2013, but not before a replacement is found to serve as host of 'A Prairie Home Companion.'

"I am planning to retire in the spring of 2013, but first I have to find my replacement. I'm pushing forward and also I'm in denial. It's an interesting time of life," said Keillor in the exclusive interview. "I sure don't want to make a fool of myself and be singing romantic duets with 25-year-old women when I'm 75. But on the other hand, it's so much fun. And in radio, the lighting is right."
