... in his prime, watching the show. Many times, Larry would have a guest or two to discuss the day's top news story. I wish he had not gone to RT and was surprised at his many marriages!

I really came to appreciate the Larry King style - which was to interview people in a very non-adversarial manner and then take viewers' questions. He thought we might gain more info that way, and often it worked.
