Larry King, RIP

😢

As per CNN and BBC

I used to Listen to him all night on Mutual radio when he would interview stars in a Miami Beach hotel lobby. I had terrible insomnia and enjoyed his show. This was long before all night cable.

Of course Larry King's career, especially in these later years, was not exactly stellar. However he was a fixture of the news for so many decades. He was a part of my life.

I was a teenage insomniac and loved night-time talk radio. It was usually KGO (Ray Taliaferro/Al Collins), but at some point I began listening to Larry King (especially around the holidays, for some strange reason), and when I moved off to Los Angeles it was so hard to get KGO on my AM radio that it was usually Larry King I listened to. It would be fun to go back and listen to some of those programs again. I wonder if any of them are on YouTube.

I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

At least he went out swinging... Not a bad way to go.

RIP Larry King
