I don't think his religion will make him any less dead.

I used to listen to him on the radio back in the early 80's when I ran.

Hmm ...
King's birth name was Lawrence Harvey Zeiger. His parents were Orthodox Jews who emigrated to the United States from Belarus in the 1930s. After describing himself as a Jewish agnostic in 2005, King stated that he was fully atheist in 2015. In December 2011, King stated that he would like to be cryogenically preserved following his death. In 2017, he stated "I love being Jewish, am proud of my Jewishness, and I love Israel" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_..._and_education

Larry King was a man.
None of today's "interviewers" will ever touch his success because they're more focused on their own fame and starstruck by those they interview than they are on doing a great interview and actually asking good questions. |

Thing I always liked about his show were the letters. He seemed to favor uncommon names and places and it used to give us a laugh.
Things like: Pocahontas Shapiro, of New York Wisconsin writes... or Lakeeshah Hassenfeffer of Miami Maine writes... Fun stuff! |
