According to American media reports, legendary American talk show host Larry King is sick with Covid-19 and is in hospital. The veteran talk show host has been treated for more than a week at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, King’s former employer reported to CNN on Saturday (local time), citing family circles. King, 87, has diabetes and has had numerous health problems in the past, including strokes and lung cancer.
King hosted the talk show “Larry King Live” on CNN for 25 years. Its trademarks include oversized glasses, suspenders, and colorful ties. Several US presidents, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra and Libyan head of state Muammar al-Gaddafi were invited to his program. The television story was written about a duel between former presidential candidate Ross Perot and US Vice President Al Gore in 1993, as well as King’s interviews with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, King Hussein of Jordan, and Palestinian leader Yasser. Arafat.
In 2010, King retired. However, he continued to conduct interviews for his website, and since 2012 he has broadcast on the pay channel Ora TV, which he co-founded.
King was born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger on November 19, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. He changed his name to Larry King on the advice of a radio manager. He had his first radio show in Miami Beach, and from 1978 to 1984 he hosted the “Larry King Show” on the radio. The young cable broadcaster CNN recruited him, in June 1985 it first aired on that talk show and entered the Guinness Book of Records as the longest program of a station at any given time.
