Veteran talk show host Larry King has been hospitalized in Los Angeles with COVID-19.
The 87-year-old broadcasting legend has survived multiple health scares in the past, including a heart attack, a stroke, prostate and lung cancer and diabetes.
He spent his 87th birthday, in November, hospitalized with a blood-flow issue.
The former CNN powerhouse has been ill for 10 days, Roger Friedman’s Showbiz 411 reported.

Prayers for Larry, his family, who are not allowed to visit him in the hospital, his doctors and caretakers.
I don’t think they normally publish the precise treatment protocol for every individual hospitalized. They did so with President Trump because he’s the President of the United States. That’s not the normal course.
Hopefully Larry is getting the best available treatment. Doctors on FR have stated they’re having a lot of luck using Ivermectin. There are other emerging treatment options as well that seem to do a lot of good. Part of the trick seems to be catching it early enough while also recognizing that things are going in a bad direction. It’s not easy to figure out which patients are going to do badly with this. You can add up the risk factors, but there exist as-yet unknown factors that determine who’s heading to the ICU or worse.

2021 already starting to look a lot like 2020. Ugh.
Hmmmm... RBG goes away, Larry King goes away. Coincidence?
If I make it to 87, I’ll consider it a live well-lived - and long-lived.
“Hmmmm... RBG goes away, Larry King goes away. Coincidence”?
NO! Old people die every day.
An 86 year old neighbor died in Oct. We all die.
Did you see the way he smoked? If he survives at his age I’ll be surprised. Hope he does but not cause I like him. Because he’s old. You live long enough being an old azzhole, you deserve a break.
Prayers for Larry King. Such a high risk at his age and health factors. I’m still sad we lost Herman Cain last year to CCP flu.
That's a bit of a stretch. CNN has had this obituary written since Lynne Russel bought her first lipstick.
He quit smoking years ago.
(Snicker, snicker)
The heirs will be gearing up for a fight because he isnt divorced yet. Could have some kind of separation agreement.
A spouse can take an elective share of the estate despite being disinherited via will.
Adios Larry you nasty old suspender-wearing goober.
So did I. The heart attack was a factor. The asbestos exposure in the USN was a thought. The fight with prostate cancer a few years ago weighed in too. Nothing against Larry King, 87 years is a good run. Name me one person walking out of here. Good luck.
King has a lot of health issues already. I will be surprised if he survives this time. Prayers for the salvation of his soul and prayers for his family.
He’s only 87. I figured he must be pushing 135 by now.
How many ex-wives will be fighting over the estate?
BS. King has so many other issues.
The only man I’ve ever seen wearing shoulder pads and not playing football.
