Larry King interviewed many politicians, celebrities and public figures during his storied 60-year career in broadcasting.Former President Bill Clinton tweeted,"I enjoyed my 20+ interviews with Larry King over the years. He had a great sense of humor and a genuine interest in people. He gave a direct line to the American people and worked hard to get the truth for them, with questions that were direct but fair. Farewell, my friend.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, tweeted,"I mourn the passing of Larry King whom I have known for nearly 40 years. He was a great interviewer - sensitivity, humorous and witty.

CNN founder Ted Turner said in a statement,"Larry was one of my closest and dearest friends and, in my opinion, the world’s greatest broadcast journalist of all time. If anyone asked me what are my greatest career achievements in life; one is the creation of CNN, and the other is hiring Larry King.
