listening to the voice of the legend,
i am inspired

the sad efforts of racists to prevent him from attaining the pinnacle of his sport
bring me anguish and the temptation for retaliation

Yes, I was surprised to hear about that this morning. I didn't even know he had been ill. I know his past medical history, but didn't know he had been ill recently. I was one of those who liked him he was decades in T.V. and got interviews with many famous people.

May he R.I.P.

Do you know why he wore the suspenders and when he started?

It was after his heart attack and he lost a lot of weight.

I would think you'd be able to say something nice about the man or don't say nothing at all.

I said he was a fighter
to me that is a compliment
the suspenders were for the sake of humor
you are a surface reader
unable to grasp the real meaning of anything

The guy did "Larry King Live" on CNN for 25 years and was quite popular.
I give him credit, you could tell he was driving the narrative, and hence, the show. One hell of a broadcaster, IMO.

Also, in 1987, Larry had quadruple bypass surgery and continued on until now. Quite guy. Hats off.

The suspenders were a part of him he was known for them, yet you make joke so you say about them. I don't think it was a joke at all. He was an iconic interviewer if he interviewed you, you knew you were a big star, or Politician. The Suspenders were a part of him, you don't understand! They have a piece about him in CNN right now turn it on and learn something Lemon!

I get it don't think making jokes when someone dies is something one should do!

Go turn on CNN and learn some things about the MAN himself!

ever attended an Irish wake?
humor, laughing, drinking and joking
it is not disrespectful
it is a celebration
I don't think Larry King would be upset with my comment
