With his trademark braces, rolled up sleeves and easy style of questioning, Larry King - who has died aged 87 - is one of the legends of US broadcasting.
During his six-decade career, which included 25 years hosting his own nightly programme on CNN, King interviewed many of the most famous political leaders, celebrities and sports people of the day.
At its peak, his Larry King Live Show on CNN was bringing in 1.5 million viewers a night. When the final episode aired in 2010, it was the longest-running show hosted by the same person.
