Larry King, US talk show host, dies aged 87
Veteran US television host Larry King has died aged 87, his production company said.
The former CNN talk show host was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for coronavirus treatment at the beginning of January.
The Peabody Award-winning broadcaster was among America’s most prominent interviewers of celebrities, presidents and other newsmakers during a half-century career that included 25 years with a nightly show on CNN.
He retired from Larry King Live in 2010, but did not stay off the airwaves for long, and in 2012 began hosting Larry King Now on Ora TV, an on-demand digital network he co-founded.
He has had medical issues in recent decades, including several heart attacks and quintuple bypass surgery in 1987.
