Growing up I wasn’t a fan of Larry King. As a little girl in the 1980s, I was more concerned with my Cabbage Patch Dolls and Whitney Houston cassette tapes, so when my parents turned on “Larry King Live” at night to catch his latest interview, I zoned out. I lumped his show in the same category as “MASH” and “Hill Street Blues,” all three of which my parents loved and I eventually came to enjoy.
Larry King passed away this week at the age of 87. Like a lot of folks right now, my TV is perpetually tuned to CNN. On Saturday, after his death was announced, I ended up watching a lengthy remembrance piece with Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer and other famed names.

Died: January 23, 2021. LARRY King, who has died aged 87, was one of the best-known, and highest-rated, broadcasters in America, whose hour-long programme on CNN every weeknight brought the format of talk-radio to television, and saw him interview tens of thousands of people, ranging from presidents and film stars to those with inventions, books or conspiracy theories to peddle. Though his show, which was eventually syndicated to more than 130 countries, brought him fame, wealth, a slew of awards and endless cameos as himself in films and on television, it was unusual for it actually to provide much in the way of insight or information.
