Larry King, legendary talk show host, dies - CNN


I always suspected that he had a wealth of information in his head because of his endless curiosity and because of all the people he had interviewed over the years. Very sad to hear about his passing.

Are you stating this is the same person?

Larry King, who was a rising star in the GOP, was convicted of embezzling over $38 million from Franklin Community Federal Credit Union (FCFCU) in Omaha, and served 10 years of a 15-year prison sentence.

That's right, the victim who spoke was sent to prison for 15 years for perjury, while King received 15 but did only 10 years for crimes involving $38 million and was never convicted in the child prostitution ring, nor were any other officials.

The Larry King of the Boy's Town scandal was a black man. The broadcaster Larry King was a white man. Two different King's.

Thanks guys, going off memory lol.

I was completely wrong, I apologize.

Learned another lesson about the inaccuracy of memory and jumping to conclusions.

He was actually Jewish/agnostic but at the end of the portion of "personal life" he said he was "fully atheist" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_King

Mr. King died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, which did not provide a cause of death.
Three weeks earlier, CNN reported that he was hospitalized there with the novel coronavirus.

His son Andy King, 65, unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack in late July 2020, while his daughter
Chaia King, 52, died in August 2020 only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer.
