VideoAge mourns the loss of Larry King, the legendary TV host and radio personality. He was 87 years old and succumbed after a battle with COVID-19.
Born as Larry H. Zeiger in Brooklyn, NY, he changed his last name to King at age 23 on the advice of a radio station manager in Miami, Florida (it became his legal name in 1959).
In 1985, Ted Turner hired King to host a nightly hour-long TV show on CNN: Larry King Live lasted 25 years averaging more than one million viewers nightly.
