He believed concise questions usually provided the best answers, and he was not wrong in that belief. “Larry’s interviews from his 25-year-run on CNN’s Larry King Live and his Ora Media programs Larry King Now and Politicking With Larry King are consistently referenced by media outlets around the world and remain part of the historical record of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The statement concludes: “Ora Media sends our condolences to his surviving children Larry Jr., Chance, Cannon and the entire King family. “Funeral arrangements and a memorial service will be announced later in coordination with the King family, who ask for their privacy at this time.
