Media Legend
Larry King is an Emmy award winning talk show host.

“There’s nothing like daily television”
Larry King Live became the first international TV call-in show. He developed a loyal audience who tuned in to watch the talk show host interview presidents, athletes, actors, national heroes, foreign dignitaries among others. The show soon became the highest-rated talk show on air, and a requisite stopover for celebrities plugging any project. King’s direct, non-confrontational interview style has proven to be a hit with audiences and guests alike. King has also used his show as a portal for other fundraising events, including the support of disaster reliefs. In 2010, King announced he’d be ending his reign as host of the CNN talk show after 25 years.[/expand]
