He has suffered several medical problems in the last few decades including heart attacks, Type 2 diabetes and lung cancer.

He hosted CNN’s “Larry King Live” for as long as 25 years and retired in 2010. In this span of time, he interviewed presidential candidates, celebrities, athletes, movie stars, among others.

Later, he used to conduct interviews on his own portal and in 2012, he started hosting “Larry King Now” on Ora TV.
