Broadcasting Star Larry King, 87, 10 Days into Battle with COVID at Los Ange

[RandySF]

Larry King has survived all kinds of health troubles including a heart attack and a stroke.

But now I’m told that the 87 year old broadcasting star of CNN and radio is battling COVID in a famed Los Angeles hospital. His wife of 23 years, Shawn King — yes, they are apparently still legally married, and on very good terms — and their two sons, Chance and Cannon– are not allowed to visit him. But they are in constant contact with the hospital and doctors monitoring Larry’s condition.

This has been a terrible year for King. In 2020, he lost two of his adult children, Andy (who was adopted) and daughter Chaia. Besides Chance and Cannon he still has an older son, Larry Jr.

Even though people who see Larry now in his infomercials, etc may not realize it, Larry was A FORCE to be reckoned with for 20 or 30 years. At one point in the 80s, 90s, and early 00s, Larry’s 9pm CNN show was Ground Zero every night for the most riveting, on topic interview of the day. If something had happened that day with a movie star or singer, they’d been on there that night. Everyone tuned in. His power and reach were unparalleled.

1. So much grief across...every level. Sending out as much white light as I can generate.

2. I Think They're Releasing This News, To Prepare For What's To Come Next

Perhaps tomorrow or Monday even.

7. I have a bad feeling

about this


I have since I read yesterday he was in the hospital

[Ilsa]

3. I hope he doesn't succumb to COVID-19.

I was never a big fan. I didn't care much about the celebrity coverage.

4. Used to listen to Larry King on his graveyard shift talk radio show

before he ever went to CNN and still listened to it even after we finally got cable here and he was doing both. Jim Bohannon pretty much took over that radio show during the later years and still does it.

This virus is nothing to mess with. You just don't know how your body will react to it.

5. My mother listened to his radio show at night and his show often kept her company.

I remember waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning with her blasting his voice throughout the house.

6. I always wonder on these things how he got exposed.

Reports said that he had been working from home. Did he go to restaurants? Have people in?
