Larry King Fans Honor Late Talk Show Legend By Sharing Their Favorite Interview Moments
For over six decades, Larry King was a powerhouse on radio and television. From politicians to entertainers, the late media icon interviewed countless influential figures from around the world, always connecting on another level with his guests.
The iconic broadcaster died early Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. A cause of death was not given, though King was hospitalized with COVID-19 earlier this month. He was 87.
With tributes coming in from past interviewees, celebrities and journalists, King's devoted fans also took to social media to share their favorite interviews and moments from his shows and appearances.
"RIP Larry King. Thanks for all the great moments, but especially for bringing us Debbie Reynolds’ Meryl Streep impression," one fan tweeted alongside a clip of the moment.

Many people also shared a clip of when Community's Danny Pudi was asked what is a luxury he can't live without. When King wasn't satisfied when Pudi replied coffee and socks, the actor quipped, "Larry, I'm on Ducktales."
“Larry, I’m on Ducktales” is still the most legendary Larry King moment. pic.twitter.com/Ef0hhldSto

Everyone brings up Ducktales but this is without a doubt my favorite interview Larry King ever gave. When he says "Hello I'm Mr. Hedgehog" it never fails to make me laugh. RIP Larry King, an absolute legend. pic.twitter.com/dZZz53fRXK

My personal fav Larry King interview -- Tyler came on being all "TYLER!!!" and Larry's conversational, inquisitive style led to one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Should be required viewing for anyone who wants to be an entertainment journalist. https://t.co/yc7VCw1Nfn
