RIP Larry King

[King Kamala]

Not sure whether to put this here or in TV/Film/Literature since I feel like he was the Godfather of Infotainment so feel free to move if needed, mods.

Larry King, legendary talk show host, dies at 87

Larry King, the longtime CNN host who became an icon through his interviews with countless newsmakers and his sartorial sensibilities, has died. He was 87.

He passed away at the age of 87, due to COVID-19 related causes.

Very easy to mock my dude but you can't knock his longevity and I always loved how he treated his interview subjects with the same level of gravitas whether it was Vladimir Putin or Corey Feldman. Christopher Hitchens or Hulk Hogan. Also News & Views was amazingly compellingly weird.

Gotta say, I was not expecting him to pass away before he hit 100. And yeah. Dude was a consummate professional interviewer who made sure that he treated everyone the same once they got onto his show.

I was actually somewhat surprised he was only 87. Dude has looked like he has been in his 80s for the past 25 years.

I remember seeing he had been in the hospital due to COVID not long ago so I assumed this would be coming soon.

D’Von Dudley can take a lesson from Norm MacDonald on comically pretending to be gay.

(Actually Norm is probably the only one who can pull off comically pretending to be gay in modern era and only then cause he had a genuinely dumbfounded Larry to play off of)
