I enjoyed Larry King on Westwood One Radio Network and caught him as often as possible as I studied and then worked late at night in the 80s. My favorite memory: a caller blamed “a conspiracies of the Jews” for ___ and Larry eviscerated him (1/2)

Have watched him since I was very young it is heartbreaking. He was a legend an international icon. My condolences to his family.

Larry spent his last years working for RT_com NOT 😂

Shame. He had his whole life ahead of him.

RIP LEGEND 💔🕊

Stunning and brave young man

Not Larry King!!

Larry may have had a sterling career however having married 8 times & 7 wives in the course of his life is certainly not a good example!. My Dad passed 70 having being committed to just 1 woman, my mum all his life!.

Longrev4 LarryKing - May he NOW RestInEternalPeacePowerAndPerennialPURPOSE!!!!!🙏🙏🙏

Very sad 😞

So sorry sad to hear of the death of Larry King. He was a very decent man, a true professional and the world is a much poorer place, without the great Larry King, RIP!

My special tribute to this Legendary radio and TV figure, Larry King was one of CNN's most popular faces and will have interviewed close to 50,000 personalities.

I literally thought he was at least 100 rip dude

I will always remember mr. Dot man on t.v.

We must punish Chinese communist party for this lab made virus. Destroy CCP should be world primary goals. Do small things first, stop doing business with CCP companies, stop investment in China, do not buy made in China. Ban import from China by laws.

camanpour Everyone has to die sooner or later! He was just another person that lived till he died, no different than my brothers and sisters and parents!

camanpour Does CNN know what King has been doing the past decade in broadcasting? For example, has he co hosted any USA presidential candidate debates?

I know it’s just because im getting older, but it seems everyone is dying ): ): ):

Conservatives have murdered yet another legend.

87 not bad full life i think he would have a little long if covid hadn't broke down some immunity functions making him more vulnerable

Rest In Peace 🙏

Larry's spark was one of a kind and my heart goes out to all who knew him well and are feeling a bit lost right now.

RIP Legend!

That’s why he said this? 🧐

I woke up to this news today. I have to admit, as I've said before, I haven't been interested in politics my whole life (66) up until just before this election, so I've only known of him and may have watched a couple or so times when someone I liked was on.WHAT A MAN. INDEED. RIP

RIP

May God bless your soul Larry King.

BillWeirCNN Someone must have video of Larry King interviewing Hank Aaron. Would be touching...

SSJWHB Sorry but why is Covid not listed as the cause of death in a CNN article now that Biden is president?

I remember him in an interview he was giving a couple years back saying he wanted to live long enough to see who became president after trump. So glad he did. King was a king & a legend. He will be missed. 👑♥️👑♥️

Rip

The mutant virus is known to have up to 70% stronger propagation power than the conventional covid-19. In the meantime, the analysis shows that British mutation is more fatal. I think it's definitely made by aliens.

What I loved about Larry King, an iconic journalist, was his easy way of interviewing people from different backgrounds & asking questions most would be reluctant to ask, but everyone wanted to hear. He had a great, long life, lots of wives & great career. RIP Mr King

RIP

kaitlancollins RIP legend Larry King

Can you check this out, your like might change my career

Going to miss Larry. His program was my first exposure to CNN years ago.

kaitlancollins The COVID part seems to be escaping a lot of these headlines.

RIP! The first month of ‘21 has been brutal on legends!

The China virus claims another. Very sad.

Couldn't handle the reality of Biden as President.

Damn RiP

RIPLarryKing

And yet mitch McConnell lives on

Larry was the only news reporter CNN had . What will they do now aside of spreading fake news and anti Trump propaganda ?

Rest In Peace Larry King. I enjoyed your interviews on CNN.

RIP

RIP

Awwwww man, one of the very VERY few people I can think of who if you asked everyone “Can ya think of anyone who disliked him or held a grudge against him”? The search would be too long, even as long as we were privileged to have him in our lives, still it was far too short, RIP.

Rest in peace

Larry King as a hard charging interviewer. But Trump turned the tables on him once. Larry introduced Trump who almost immediately started asking King “what that awful smell was?”. Trump then accused King of having bad breath. Larry’s momentum was gone. What a lesson for us.

2021 moving a lil shaky right about now

R.I.P

Such a knowledgeable and personable guy who prided himself in his Kraft was Larry king.. Larry's keen ability to give prestigious interviews will not be replaced.

Rest in peace

RIP 🙏❤

May his soul rest in peace.

RIP

Deepest condolences to the family of Mr Larry King for their heartbreaking loss The iconic CNN 'Larry King Live' Interviewer will be remembered with great affection and missed immensely Thank You Mr King for such amazing moments Rest In Peace God Comfort The Family 🙏

I wonder whether DT even considers being complicit in Larry Kings passing. They were friends way back, although that friendship has been tested in the past five years.

May God forgive him for all of those senior citizens in Miami he stole from so long ago. Dade County has not forgotten the REAL kingsthings

Rip

Oh how sad! He will be missed
