US talk-show host Larry King is reportedly battling coronavirus in a Los Angeles hospital, where his condition is such that family members aren’t allowed to visit him.
King, 87, is at high risk for complications from the virus not only because of his age, but also because he has previously suffered bouts with stroke, a heart attack, diabetes and prostate and lung cancer. He’s reportedly in isolation after battling his latest illness for 10 days.
King’s long-running CNN interview show, Larry King Live, made him one of the most prominent media personalities in the US.
In more recent years, the veteran interviewer has been running his Politicking show, broadcast by RT America ever since it has struck a deal with the New York-based production company, Ora TV, which King co-founded in 2012.
