Fans along with several celebrities and close friends have been pouring in tributes all over social media about the King. Oprah Winfrey tweeted, “It was always a treat to sit at your table. And hear your stories. “Thank you, Larry King.” Magic Johnson added, I’ve known Larry King since I arrived in LA 42 years ago. Larry King Live changed CNN in the 80s blending entertainment with news & I loved being on the show. Larry was one of the best interviewers on TV. Always well prepared, asked intelligent questions, & always made the interviews fun, serious, & entertaining! He was the biggest Dodgers fan & if you lived in LA you could catch him at his favorite booth in Nate and Al’s or at Brooklyn Bagels which he owned. Rest In Peace my friend! 🙏🏾 Cookie and I extend our prayers to the entire King family.”
Former CNN host Piers Morgan also made a post about King but came under fire over his tribute. He tweeted: “Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN & he said my show was ‘like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley.’ (He married 8 times so a mother-in-law expert) But he was a brilliant broadcaster & masterful TV interviewer,” the tweet reads. His post didn’t sit well with some of King’s fans, who immediately called out Morgan for the insensitive message.
One user said: “Instead of a simple RIP, Piers Morgan makes Larry King’s demise all about himself. Rest in peace legend Larry King!” Another added, “Of all the things Piers Morgan could have said to tribute Larry King, THIS is what his dried up muffin shaped faced ass decided to type up.”
