Hours after he worried America sick into thinking he was on a runaway balloon flying over Colorado - while he was just hiding in the attic - 6-year-old Falcon Henne, aka "Balloon Boy", appears with his family on "Larry King Live."

In this scene, Falcon admits that he heard his parents calling him, but declined to come out of the garage.

At 0:40, he mutters, "We did this for the show."

This leads father Richard to try and explain what he just said but he fails abysmally to save it with "Whenever we tell him things like, it's a bad thing to do, he does go and hide" etc.

The full interview with Wolf on this channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PoliticsNewsPolitics#g/u

Judging by his body language (he's always looking at the ground) and speech patterns, the father seems like he's lying every time he's interviewed on TV.

ETA Someone just pointed out on YouTube that there's a fart sound just after he says it, too. LMAO!

1. The parents are lying

and doing a poor job of it.

Stay honest, Falcon!

[Kazak]

2. Wow, busted...

Out of the mouths of babes.

[Joe the Liberal]

3. Lol so it was all for publicity?......

maybe the parents are trying to be the next Jon and Kate, lol the cat is out of the bag.

[ebayfool]

4. Did it for what show?

Didn't the wife-swap thing already air a while back?

[Ruby the Liberal]

7. He only knows reality TV.

Why kids should not be exposed to this fakeness. :(

[BREMPRO]

8. guessing the parents coached him to hide as a part of their "kid trapped in runaway balloon" show

that they just performed- it appears it was a performance the parents concocted for attention, not a mistake. The parents should be committed.

16. I'm not sure the mom's in on the scam.

[JDPriestly]

21. Watch her nod her head "Yes, yes, yes" when Falcon looks to her

for help and approval after being asked the key question by Wolf Blitzer. Watch her body language.

5. There is a lesson for you kiddies out there.

Pull a fast one on the media and you will get on TV and get your 15 minutes of fame.

[BREMPRO]

6. why didn't you come out ?"cause you guys said we did it for the show" OMG- these people are insane

attention whores and bad liars. Think of all the resources and effort wasted to give them national attention. Been on wife swap reality show twice- looks like they needed their dose of fame again. I hope they put the parents in jail.

[JenniferJuniper]

9. I feel sorry for the children but

the parents should be prosecuted for tying up resources like that. And this kind of shameless self-promotion at all cost should not be encouraged.

Gotta love a 6 year old whistle blower though.

10. This is a picture of there dog......

[Politicalboi]

11. They are terrible liars

The minute I heard about the show Wife Swapping, I had my doubts about the whole thing. Now after this, there's no doubt, it was a publicity stunt.

[adamuu]

12. omg they asked that poor kid to lie.

[Cha]

13. Well, the corporatemedia sure took the camera off

the Town Hall Meet that President Obama was having in New Orleans.

I was watching on my computer and it was Great!

[Graybeard]

14. Parents should be charged with child abuse.

To ask this little boy to lie on national television is beyond contempt.

[vaberella]

15. Blitzer you piece of crap. You heard the kid, you know this was all so they could be on tv.

That's why the mum started coaching the boy later on. They want to be on television and think it's a smart way to make money. This shit is nonsense.

[Turborama]

18. Yeah, at the end he actually sucks up to this obvious fraudster!

Unbelievable! I hope that CNN consider this lack of journalistic integrity when they're next reviewing his contract: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxtFXtiUbbw

17. Best placed fart ever! n/t

[Quantess]
