Pumanaw na ang award-winning American television host na si Larry King noong Sabado nang umaga sa edad na 87.
Pahayag ng Ora Media, kumpanya ni King, “With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host, and friend Larry King, who passed away this morning at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry’s many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster.
“Additionally, while it was his name appearing in the shows’ titles, Larry always viewed his interview subjects as the true stars of his programs, and himself as merely an unbiased conduit between the guest and audience. Whether he was interviewing a U.S. president, foreign leader, celebrity, scandal-ridden personage, or an everyman, Larry liked to ask short, direct, and uncomplicated questions. He believed concise questions usually provided the best answers, and he was not wrong in that belief.”
Samantala, hindi binanggit ng Ora Media ang sanhi ng pagkamatay ni King.
Si King ay naging host ng “The Larry King Show,” “Larry King Live” ng CNN, “Larry King Now,” at “Politicking with Larry King.”
