Larry King, legendary talk show host, dies at 87 

He's one of those guys who was always old in my lifetime.

The Best because he let people talk, he listened, and didn’t judge. No one was afraid to talk with Larry and speak their mind.

Is no one going to talk about how much of a fucking badass this man was? He had a heart attack, diabetes, survived both prostate and lung cancer on top of having quintuple bypass surgery! One of the toughest men I’ve seen in my life. And still one of the kindest men to have existed

"Loved every minute of it." How many people can say that about what they do? RIP Larry.

A Microphone, Double-up Suspenders and Professionalism. Rest in Peace Larry King.

RIP Legend

I moved to Vienna, Austria in 2010, and didn't know the language or have any friends. The only English speaking TV channel I had was CNN, and Larry King became a good friend and great company in the evenings. RIP

The man never lost a step. He said what was on his mind. Asking the questions we all had. Rest easy

He educated Americans about the world outside of USA in his inimitable style and charismatic personality,,,there won't be another like the legendary Larry King. RIP

*“Instead of goodbye, how about so long?”* _Larry King Signing off_

Larry King always looked and acted like a police detective.

Sending my condolences to his family, and wishing them all the best. ❤️

What made Larry so great was even if he didn’t agree with you, he treated you like a friend. The world needs more people to follow his example.

"I never learned anything while I was talking" Larry King. May he rest in peace.

The world of journalism lost a legend. I still can't believe that Larry King died. He had a long, long life, and even tho he was 87, it seemed like he's immortal. Rest in Peace, Larry King

We have really lost a true Legend....

RIP to Larry King ...may His soul Rest in Peace

Was really the master interviewer. Had a perfect balance of an easy-going demeanor and humor with a non judgemental attitude, but was able to still subtly challenge and ask poignant questions. Its really amazing how much he'd get almost everyone to open up to him. Rip King King

I wasn't even a fan, but it feels weird to know he's gone now. like. what.

“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening.”-Larry King Rest In Power Larry King

Larry King was one of the best interviewers one will ever see in a lifetime.

7th wife!? Heart surgeries? Diabetes? Losing his kids?!...Yikes that's a lot. He lived, he survived so much! The people we admire really go through so much without us realizing.

His interviewing tips: passion; sense of humor; ability to explain what you do; chip on your shoulder. Thank you, Larry. RIP.

I once read an interview that he gave to the Readers Digest magazine. A long time ago. He said that he never asked a question for which he already knew the answer. That smacked of integrity! Respect🙏

Can't think of a single person who doesn't know who Larry King was, even if you didn't watch him, you know who he is. This man is legendary

I enjoyed every minute of watching and listening to Larry King.

End of an era. Thanks for memories, Larry.

Bruh I didn't even know he died until just now

Friendliest man in Beverly Hills ... he'd talk on the streets to anyone ... Terrific Guy !!

Well at least he live long enough to know who's the 46th president. Rip Larry King

"One generation passed and another cometh" R.I.P Larry

He will be remembered for centuries as the gold standard of his practice.

Such a delightful man. As a Brit I didn't know him, but discovered Larry recently when he interviewed John Mulaney. It was brilliant.

I felt he would live to be a 100 easily. 87 seems not enough. The best interviewer. Simple, short, open question and no interruptions.

One of the single greatest all time interviewers. I don't know if we'll ever see his like again. Rest in peace good sir.

Larry King was immortal. He looked the same his entire life, and my entire life.

Larry King, an icon of American radio and TV. May his soul rests in peace.

I used to think Larry King was immortal, really. RIP Mr. King. You'll be missed.

Larry was my inspiration and taught me how to create the greatest talk show of the 90s! Rest in peace friend!

Wow! 87 he is free from the cycle of this life and death! What a blessed man!

Never been a better interviewer in history. Dude is the DEFINITION of an icon. You will be missed, Mr. King

God, I'm going to miss this guy, he was the best. I love his style and his voice. Rest easy Larry.

RIP. One of the best. Larry had endless energy and genuinely loved his work. People like him deserve at least another 87 years to get everything done. Great journalist, great interviewer. He will be missed.

It is no way on earth I would have survived the middle 80s 90s and 2000s without Larry king live! Between Larry King Live and Oprah Winfrey Show there will never ever be any talk shows to compete between those two! RIP Larry King! God bless you Oprah Winfrey!!😘

A legend who interviewed legends. May he rest in peace amongst them.

Larry literally interviewed everybody that was anybody.

True Story ... For years, Larry King was a favorite of mine and then one day he became more. My Angel. In my younger years I watched his interviews faithfully. And every chance he got, he’d talk about the miracles that came out the Cleveland Clinic (including himself). When my friend, Karen Drosnes, was in heart failure for the 3rd time and feeling quite lost because the local docs were giving her a very grim prognosis, I took the liberty to write Larry a letter explaining her situation and I asked if he could pull some strings to get her to Cleveland YESTERDAY (she did not have insurance). And within days he was on it. Not only did he arrange to have Karen seen by the top docs, but he paid for the entire freight! No questions asked - he just stepped in and made it happen. I remember the night before her surgery, he called to personally wish her well. He was a trip! We laughed and we cried all at the same time. I always loved my boyfriend, Larry (joke between me and my friends) but after that, he literally lived in my heart. And he always will. Quaker Oaks actually used one of my quotes on the Oatmeal container a couple months following. I don’t exactly remember how that happened but I do know his son, Larry, Jr. contacted me for permission to do so. I was honored. Larry King was an amazing soul and he single handedly saved my friends life - he literally received my letter and within a few days we were in Cleveland. God speed to his wife and children. Larry always had one foot in heaven and I’d say he’s “all in” right about now. Love you Larry - thanks for the memories! We will never forget your generosity! RIP sweet man 🙏🏼

I often went to sleep listening to Larry King's radio show on Mutual. In my opinion that was Larry at his best. I called in a few times and was amazed that I was able to get through each time. No censoring. They just put you on the air: "Bethesda, Maryland, Hello" and off you go. It was amazing how he could do a 5 hour show unscripted night after night and keep it entertaining. One of a kind.

That is just terrible, he lived a long life and he got to see how the world changed over time. Rest in peace king, rest in peace.

Sorry to hear this. I used to love watching him at night. Best interviewer, not afraid to ask the real questions, easy to talk to. When his show ended on CNN, I barely watched CNN for 1.5 year after he was gone.

we have been watching you, Larry, from Belarus. We will miss you very much, dude

LARRY KING... Thankk you for everything you did for so many many years... What an incredible career.. We will always remember you as a true KING ... May you rest in peace always !!!

I had a feeling this was coming he seemed so frail the last few times we've seen him rest in peace

My deepest condolences to his families and friends. May he R.I.P

RIP Larry one of the greats. I loved this man because he was unbias to everyone he interviewed. Something many reporters could learn today from Larry. God speed my friend.

Legendary strong man. Rest in peace!🌻

Well, this is just incredibly sad. Rest in peace, Larry. You were a living legend.

Larry King was a magnificent interviewer and person. He was so terribly afraid of dying. I hope he was at peace at the end. What a legend. I grew up watching him every day. Thanks for everything, Larry. So long, buddy.

The amount of high-profile guests he got on his show...and them agreeing to be interviewed, knowing that Larry will interview them and is very trustworthy...truly the King of Talk. May his memory be blessed.

He was the kings of kings of hosting interviews his memories will stand tall and can never fall long live the king.,Larry king

In memory of Larry King 1933 - 2021

“I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I'm going to learn, I must do it by listening”.- Larry King One of my childhood heroes. R.I.P. to the King🥺😢👊🏾💔

From Nairobi, Kenya. Rest in Peace Larry King the Broadcasting Legend. #RIPLarryKing

Someone I could listen to all night, an Icon. So sorry Larry has left us, he won't be forgotten. R.I.P LARRY KING.

Salute from a Kenyan fan. Go well, Larry. You were truly, the King of Talk.

RIP Larry. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, Larry's face was like a station identification for CNN.

Back in the days - early 90s, when there was no Internet as we know it today; Larry King was my entertainment, specially during OJ trail. I was living in the Netherlands. I thought Live was part of his name then. Larry and Oprah were the most talk shows that I watched. To this day, I haven't watch TV since then. Rest in peace Larry King.

When you talked to King you talked to the world. Icon who now remains dream career profile for many journalists.

RIP Larry. One hell of an interviewer.

This damn virus man. I know he had a lot of health issues and was older and I'm sure he lived a full and great life but I can't help feel he would have had a few more years. He was a fighter.

I am from Germany and i loved this Men. His respect for his Guests. No stupid Questions and always listening and getting the right Answers from them. One of a kind. My Favorite - as a Star Trek-Fan - was of course some with Wiliam Shatner and the Special where TNG/Ds9-Crew was with him and Rick Berman. RIP Larry King!!

It feels like he’s been around more than 25 years , and it doesn’t feel like he’s gone . He’s timeless

He lived a full life and has interviewed all the greats. Rest in peace.

*LEGENDARY INDEED...Larry set the standard for sit down interviews. RIP*

RIP Larry. You were my favorite host always asking your guest critical questions. I'll remember you fondly.

Wtf, how am I just hearing this now

Larry's interview with King Hussein, Rabin and Arafat was unforgettable. It's still my favorite. God he'll be missed 💔

I remember him at really young age as a ‘suspender guy’ R.I.P

Why are the best talk show hosts so underrated?

Rest on with the Lord IJN Amen 🙏🙏🙏. I remember when he had "Tom and Jerry" on his show...🙂 One of my memorable days of him...

Larry King one for the ages...he's interviewing in the stars now, "Ghengis, what's it like rule the world from tent?"

He was wise, sharp and warm man.

Wow this man is a Legend he’s interviewed any and everyone this is so sad. RIH Sir

I have been watching Mr King for 3 plus decades. This man helped me find my passion for politics and broadcasting. Being his ability to communicate so clearly. And having political icons on that even as a young man I earnestly wanted to learn about. He crossed all racial and religious divides and genuinely just gave you an interview. Alot of us grew up looking forward to celebrity interviews he had on his show. CNN would never have been as successful as it is without King! May he rest in peace ✌ " Or shall I say signing off"

Even from Autralia respected and knew of him . RIP LARRY

2021 is three weeks in but already going ablaze, RIP to the king

Damn. That shocks me. He was super cool to listen to, very intelligent. Definitely gonna miss him.

Toronto!! New York!! Boston!! Seattle!! RIP Larry

The greatest Interviewer of all times. No one can come even close. RIP

All those he interviewed were honored to be interviewed by him. What a legend. RIP Larry King.

What a great interviewer with a legendary career! R.I.P 🙏🏽

Am sad...... I missed him in his Larry King Live.... One of my most admired anchor/broadcaster .......So long Sir........Thanks for the many memorable interviews you have with our "icons" in life.

No, not Larry! I loved his interviews! He asked brilliant questions - simple but to the point. He asked important questions. He was incredibly empathetic and always tried to be honest and present the problem from every point of view. I loved listening to his voice - he had such a warm, soothing voice, it might sound strange to some, but I had a lot of his interviews on mp3 and listened to Larry to sleep! I really wanted to see many more interviews, with many famous personalities, done by him ... Now there is no chance for that. Rest in peace, maestro! Your number 1 fan from Poland! 💗

RIP 😢 to the man who let people talk

RIP Larry King! A staple in American life and my house growing up. You will be missed.

This is actually really heartbreaking. He was the reason I started watching CNN, I still watch some of his old episode. He was meant for this job. RIP Larry the Legend King

The legend will stay in our heart for ever

RIP MR LARRY KING 👑 Thank you for your contribution 🙏🏾

He listened to people: a rare skill.

Larry actually passed away as the King of American TV media with a 6 decades long career and conducting over thousands of celebrities interviews.RIP Media legend Larry King.
