He was an American institution. Not one of my favorites though. Hank Aaron, Larry King...who’s next?

Godspeed, Larry.

I remember discovering BKO by watching her on Larry King Live.

I remember this bum when he was in Miami. Bum is the correct word for him.

Wasn't gonna stamp on his grave but you are correct.
Circa 1962(IIRC) he ran out on his wife, kids and financial obligations. Just up and skipped town.
He surfaced about 10 yrs later in Atlanta.(That's the first I heard of his resurfacing )
I'm with you.

He was a transparent destructive liberal. At his core he hated America.

At least I won’t be hearing any more about his prostate. I hope.

Shame to discuss Larry king and hank Aaron in same thread. But they were both in their 80s. Aaron died in his sleep. A great way to go.

Isn’t it written on the stars that celebrities die in bunches of three?

“Honestly, never liked the guy.”

I never did either. He always seemed so woefully ill informed for a talk show host.

George Steffie ambushed 41’ on his call in show. king knew. Then there was Dershowitz trying it with the black fella prosecuting OJ. King gave I’m the choice to dismiss the call.

Kind of poignant. Didn't believe in an afterlife, wanted his body frozen for another chance at life in the future. Don't think he got frozen. Do think he believes in an afterlife now.

Did he ever visit South Africa? Back in the 1980s, he said he would have no problems living there if the white government fell.

I still remember his interview with atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair, not long before her atheist former “friends” came for her and family with their strangling cords, butcher knives, sledge hammers and chain saws.

No one missed them for over a year till her oldest son reported them missing. Everyone thought they had absconded to New Zealand with the American Atheist bank account.

Oh, I guarantee you...he believes in the afterlife now. And not in a good way.

That being said, as a fellow former broadcaster, he was one of the best at his craft.

“Don’t support the NRA,” he said, “and don’t let them buy congressmen and senators.”

King added that the NRA was “a menace to America.”

F him.
