This weekend I heard on the radio that Larry King, one of the most prolific interviewers of our lifetime who interviewed over 60,000 subjects over 50 years, had passed away at age 87. While I confess that as someone who generally does not watch a lot of cable news I have not seen many of his interviews in their entirety, he has been in the news enough outside of his home network on CNN that we have all seen many memorable clips. Multiple Presidents of multiple countries, iconic civil rights or cultural figures from Rosa Parks to Marlon Brando and the most divisive and controversial subjects like OJ Simpson were all across the mic from him at some point.
