2024 Emmy Nominee for Outstanding Entertainment News Program

Larry King would like to interview Fidel Castro.

He uses Larry King as a stage name on the advice that his original surname, Zeiger sounded "too Jewish."

King once said the reason he doesn't want to die is because he is so curious. "If I died I wouldn't know who won the World Series, or who would be the next president. That would drive me nuts."

King has Type II diabetes.

Larry King thinks he has psychic abilities.

Oddly enough, the one thing that Larry still maintains is not mixing milk and meat together. "I'll eat bacon, but bacon with a glass of milk... I'll faint."

After Larry King's father passed away from a sudden heart attack when Larry was 9-years-old, his family signed up for welfare to survive.

Larry has been married eight times to seven different women. Two of the women were Playboy Bunnies and one was his high school sweetheart.

At the age of 22, Larry King asked a question he'll never forget. While interviewing a Catholic priest, King asked the celibate priest how many children he had. "The look on his face is something I still see in my nightmares," King jokingly said.

When asked how many suspenders he once had, King responded: "Never counted 'em. But my guess would be 150. There are suspenders in New York and Washington and, of course, at my home in Los Angeles. But they can't be clip-ons. Every pair of pants I buy, jeans, anything, we sew in the suspender buttons."

King started working as a janitor and gopher at a Miami Beach radio station in 1957. He first went on the air when one of their announcers quit without notice.

King has conducted over 40,000 interviews with politicians, athletes, entertainers, and other newsmakers.

King was briefly married to Annette Kaye, who gave birth to his son, Larry Jr., in November 1961. King did not meet Larry Jr. until he was in his 30s.
