Journalists around the world have taken to social media to mourn legendary broadcaster Larry King, who has passed away at the age of 87.
King died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Saturday morning where he was hospitalized after getting infected with coronavirus.
As his legendary media career, ‘Larry King Live’ program, King made numerous movie appearances.
The news of King’s passing appears to have affected just about everyone who works in the media, both liberal and conservative. Even Piers Morgan – who publicly fought King after briefly replacing his long-running show ‘Larry King Live’ paid him a tribute.
Morgan wrote:
“Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN & he said my show was ‘like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley.’ (He married 8 times so a mother-in-law expert) But he was a brilliant broadcaster & masterful TV interviewer.”

“Fun story about Larry King. About a decade ago, I sat behind him at a Dodgers game. My mom had no idea who he was, but he LOVED his baseball. The dude was in his late-70s and cheering like a little kid,” Daily Caller’s David Hookstead wrote about King. “That’s the kind of passion the world could use a little more of.”



Former CNN colleagues also shared their condolences.



Many also shared favorite moments from King’s interviews over the years, from him singing with Marlon Brando to getting roasted by comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
