Larry King

1933 – 2021

Larry King, born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger, was an American television and radio host whose CNN program Larry King Live ran for 25 years from 1985 to 2010 and conducted more than 50,000 interviews with politicians, celebrities, athletes, and global leaders. Before that he hosted The Larry King Show on the Mutual Broadcasting System, an all-night nationwide call-in radio program from 1978 to 1994. His suspenders, conversational style, and willingness to interview anyone made him one of the most recognizable figures in American broadcasting for nearly half a century.
