Larry King: Larry King Live
built 654 days ago
Larry King is one of America's most popular talk show hosts. Larry King Live airs live on CNN, and is then rebroadcast on tape ad nauseum until viewers know it by heart. King's parents were Russian immigrants, and he grew up in Brooklyn, where Sandy Koufax was a childhood chum. King started working as a janitor and gopher at a Miami Beach radio station in 1957, and first went on the air when one of their announcers quit without notice.

On the Larry King Live show, King hosts guests from a broad range of topics. This includes controversial figures of UFO conspiracy theories and alleged psychics. One notable guest is Sylvia Browne, who in 2005 told Newsweek Larry King, a believer in the paranormal, asks her to do private psychic readings.[4]

In the fall of 1999, Larry King interviewed Virginia Harris on his prime time television show, Larry King Live. King is sympathetic to Christian Science; what resulted was an hour-long commercial for the religion that presented its Utopian side while blatantly misrepresenting its drawbacks. (For example, when King asked about children who have died under Christian Science care, Harris responded, “the few cases that have been publicized are the only ones.” Having talked with some former Christian Scientists who lost siblings in this religion, I know that Harris’ statement was either patently false or hopelessly naïve.)

[I]f King's promotion of Browne rankles, it's just the beginning. Another psychic superstar of King's program is John Edward, who has appeared repeatedly, both alone and with other guests (including occasional skeptics). As CSICOP paranormal investigator Joe Nickell and others have documented, the techniques used by Edward to convince "Larry King Live" callers that he can contact the deceased turn out to be quite mundane. Using a process called "cold reading," Edwards essentially goes fishing for information. Talking quickly, he throws out common causes of death and other vague data, and then waits for callers to take the bait and suggest he's on to something. Edward ... asks questions, makes educated guesses, and feeds off reactions for more information.
