King won several awards, including: two Peabodys, an Emmy and ten Cable ACE Awards, and he has hosted over 50,000 interviews. Larry was born on November 19, 1933  in New York City and has 5 kids. He recently was hospitalized for COVID-19, but that was not what he died from. It was an infection called sepsis which is a bacteria infecting the bloodstream.

Larry’s wife, Shawn, said, “Larry’s death has brought his family closer together.”  The two were supposed to divorce back in 2010, but they never went through with it. Then they were going to divorce in in April of 2020, but again, he never went through with it.  His wife was hoping he wouldn’t do it and they ended up never divorcing. His wife said that they were always a team and that’s why they were with each other for so long. Shawn King stated that Larry was very proud of his sons and Larry’s family was very proud of him as well  – he was very good man.

Some of his more famous interviews were with:

• Frank Sinatra (1988)

Even though he had beat COVID, it still took a major toll on his health.  But he will always be remembered and loved.
