I don’t know why people think King was so great. His interviews were shallow. It was obvious that he didn’t do any research to prepare for them.

My 6 year old could do a better job.

“Great” may be stretching the description, but I think for most people, Larry was plain old easy to like, and easy to understand. He didn’t seem to be putting on airs.
Someone you may want to share a bottle of wine with.

Much of this easygoing manner, was an illusion, because Larry was a thorough reporter, and would usually follow up on certain kinds of remarks.
At the same time, he got many famous people to open up and talk to the public in a relaxed, low wattage environment.

Wow, RIP. Like Milton Berle I thought Larry King had been around forever. I would have guessed he was at least 120.

He didn’t read any of the books his guests may have written because he wanted to be on the same level as his listeners. No preconceived ideas or biases when he interviewed them.
