The former CNN talk show host dies after recently being hospitalised at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for coronavirus treatment.

Larry King's production company did not specify a cause of death in its statementOver the decades on TV and digital media, he interviewed everyone from Muammar Gaddafi to Lady Gagaadmitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for coronavirus treatmentThe 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.

"For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry's many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster," the statement read. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor, from Mikhail Gorbachev to Barack Obama, Mike Tyson to Lady Gaga.Frank Sinatra, who rarely gave interviews and often lashed out at reporters, spoke to King in 1988 in what would be the singer's last major TV appearance.

His wide-eyed, regular-guy approach to interviewing by then felt dated in an era of edgy, pushy or loaded questioning by other hosts.
