Larry King, master of the softball interview but also a member of the Radio and Broadcasting Hall of Fame, passed away at the age of 87. Among the many guests interviewed by King were every president from Ford to Obama.

I believe the cause of death was complications from COVID, for which he was hospitalized in late December. But King had a number of serious health conditions over the last few decades.

Here's more from his long-time employer, CNN.

 

I was amazed that he seemed to have survived Covid19 given his health setbacks and age, but perhaps he did not beat it in the end ? Loss of a great talent and personality. RIP

 

R.I.P.Larry.

 

Sad to hear it I thought he was going to beat it. R.I.P. sir.
