Larry King
Just read that Larry King has passed away. The British don’t really do talk shows like the Americans do but he was certainly up there with best in that genre.

Re: Larry King
I don't really watch the American talk shows, but yes Larry King was at the top of that tree I'd agree.
RIP Larry.
RIP Larry.

Re: Larry King
King died quite a while ago from memory. I’ve been watching a series on American comedians, and I was surprised how many of their satirical chat show hosts ARE ex-pats, I thought it was just Corden but there are a good few who barely seemed to have made an impact this side before shipping out to become major stars Stateside.claptrappers_union wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 1:20 pmJust read that Larry King has passed away.

I wouldn't trust your memory then! It's only just breaking on the news.

Re: Larry King
Cordon isn’t in the same league as King. But yeah there’s a few Brits doing talk shows over there
I’ve been enjoying dipping into some old Dick Cavett clips on YouTube recently though.

Re: Larry King
Quite possibly heard he was ill, I only have a passing interest. I can only take so much satire and find some of the new British stuff either OTT or too predictable to be funny, much as I find a lot of the yank stuff.FactualFrank wrote: ↑Sat Jan 23, 2021 1:28 pmI wouldn't trust your memory then!
