Larry King

Larry King (born Lawrence Harvey Zeiger, November 19, 1933) is an American television and radio host, actor, voice actor and comedian whose work has been recognized with awards including two Peabodys and 10 Cable ACE Awards.

He began as a local Florida journalist and radio interviewer in the 1950s and 1960s and became prominent as an all-night national radio broadcaster starting in 1978. From 1985 to 2010, he hosted the nightly interview television program Larry King Live on CNN. He currently hosts Larry King Now on Hulu and RT America during the week, and on Thursdays he hosts Politicking with Larry King, a weekly political talk show which airs in the evening on the same two channels.

Early life and education

King was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Jennie (Gitlitz), a garment worker who was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, and Aaron Zeiger, a restaurant owner and defense-plant worker who was born in Kolomyia, Ukraine. Both parents were Orthodox Jews.

King was educated at Lafayette High School, a public high school in the Brooklyn area of New York City. His father died at 44 of a heart attack and his mother had to go on welfare to support her two sons. King was greatly affected by his father's death, and he lost interest in school. After graduating from high school, he worked to help support his mother and did not go to college or university. From an early age, however, he had wanted to go into radio.

Larry King Now

Larry King Now is a talk show web series hosted by Larry King and available on Ora TV, Hulu and RT. Launching on July 17, 2012, Larry King Now is King's first-ever web series, primarily featuring one-on-one interviews with "the day's most fascinating newsmakers, celebrities, world leaders and internet stars", similar in vein with his previous television series, Larry King Live which aired on CNN. It was the first venture by Ora TV, an on-demand TV network launched in March 2012 by King and Carlos Slim.

In May 2013, RT announced that Larry King Now would be broadcast on their network as well, along with the Ora TV show Politicking with Larry King.
