In 1957, Larry King started his broadcast career as a newscaster at Miami’s WIOD radio station. Shortly after, he reached local stardom when he became a television commentator on Miami Undercover. 1978, King went national, inheriting the nightly talk show slot on the Mutual Radio Network, working as a newscaster until 1994. Currently, he is the host of “Larry King Live,” CNN's longest-running interview program. Premiering in June 1985 with its now-famous mix of interviews and topical discussions, the show features guests from across the gamut of business, entertainment and politics. The show brings in millions of viewers from across the world viewers nightly.

Larry King Live broadcasts from Los Angeles from CNN's studios. Sometimes, the show broadcasts from CNN's studios in New York and sometimes from Washington, the city where King gained national prominence during his years as a radio interviewer for the Mutual Broadcasting System. Each studio set features an identical colored-dot map of the world in the background and one of King's trademarks, a vintage RCA microphone, on the desk. The microphone is a prop, as King and his guests use lapel microphones.

On the other hand, King's questions to Cheney pressed the vice president on a number of hot political topics (for example, "General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday.

The maze image was cooked up by Larry's seventh wife (sixth if you don't count repeat marriages), Shawn Southwick, and the Schnepfs to kick off the celebration of his 70th birthday.
