User reviews 12 Review. Top review. As talk-shows go, Larry King Live is not bad, and since he occasionally gets good guests, it's a show to turn on once in awhile, but not compulsively. When Bill Maher, Carl Bernstein, a former president, or other substantive guests sit across from him, it's not too bad. He also did two afternoon newscasts and a sportscast. The name he was going by at the time, Larry Zeiger, didn't sit well with the station's general manager since he thought it sounded too too ethnic and was hard to remember.
Minutes before the young King was to go on air, he chose the last name "King" after seeing an advertisement for King's Wholesale Liquor. King soon found popularity in the South Florida radio scene. In , he premiered his first program on Miami television and built up a strong local following, adding a newspaper column in the entertainment sections of the Miami Herald and Miami News to his radio and television duties.
During the s, he met television legend Jackie Gleason, who was producing a national television variety show in Miami Beach at the time.
King later credited Gleason for teaching him much about television production and called him a mentor. In December , King was charged with grand larceny by a former business partner, which immediately led to the loss of his broadcast and newspaper jobs. He was acquitted of all charges in but was deeply in debt and publicly disgraced. Over the next several years he worked to rebuild his career, writing magazine articles and working in West Coast radio.
By the late s, the incident had blown over, and he was able to return to Miami broadcasting. The show featured guest interviews and call-ins from the listening audience and became very successful, growing to over affiliate stations.
Larry King Live became the first international TV call-in show. Over the course of the next 25 years, King developed a loyal audience who tuned in to watch the talk show host interview presidents, athletes, actors, national heroes, foreign dignitaries and obscure individuals who were thrust into the limelight.
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 proved to be a hit with audiences and guests alike. As a testament to the show's influence, Ross Perot chose to announce his presidential bid on Larry King Live. In addition, King has also used his show as a portal for other fundraising events, including disaster relief in New Orleans and Haiti.
Outside his career as talk show host, King has appeared as himself in several movies and television shows. He's also done voice work in such animated films as Shrek 2 , Shrek the Third , and Bee Movie With his unique, conversational approach to interviewing, he changed not only the landscape of cable television, but television news in general and became a domineering force in primetime news programming.
Larry King Live debuted on CNN in June , featuring its now-famous mix of celebrity interviews, political debates and topical discussions. When King made the transition from his successful national radio talk show to cable, he helped define the future of cable news programming and CNN. Telecast each weeknight at 9 p. ET , the program featured phone calls and e-mails from viewers around the world.
King has done some 50, interviews throughout his half century in broadcasting, including exclusive sit-downs with every U.
