Most recognized for: Born Lawrence Zeiger, he borrowed the last name King from a liquor store ad… and it stuck. After finding success on Miami radio & TV, he graduated to CNN in the mid 80’s with “Larry King Live.” There he interviewed crackpots like Ross Perot & Al Gore between appointments with his cardiologist. Though he stepped away from the mic in nearly a decade ago, his highness has finally quit talking.
