In Larry's Life
Questions Are King
MICHAEL ELKIN
Special to The Jewish News
W
ithout question,
Larry King was the
one who pestered
others at the Passover seder
table.
"I always wanted to ask
more than four questions,"
•he says. "Even during Heb-
rew lessons for my bar mitz-
vah, I always peppered the
rabbi with questions. I
always wanted to know
things." Mr. King has made
a career for himself finding
the answers. It has been a
life of awards and acclaim
for the interviewer who runs
his own trifecta: shows on
TV's Cable News Network,
radio's Mutual Broadcast-
ing System and a column
in USA Today.
With so much air time and
so many awards, Mr. King
nevertheless calls into ques-
tion what he wants out of
life; he may be his own
toughest interview.
"I ask myself, 'Is this all
there is?' There's a lot of
ambiguity in my answers.
I'm not sure."
He sure knows how to
work. Mr. King has con-
ducted more than 30,000
interviews and has written a
quartet of books about his
career.
That career began in 1957
when Larry King took to the
air as a disc jockey at a 250-
watt radio station in Miami.
"As soon as I saw that red
light go on, I knew that was
the life for me." It has been a
lively livelihood. "I do not
handle leisure well; I am a
person who needs drama in
his life."
Mr. King has changed his
life dramatically — losing
weight and giving up ciga-
rettes — since having a
heart attack. Of course, he
knew the right questions to
ask the doctors about recov-
ery.
But does the great com-
municator communicate as
well off the air? Talking
about his handful of mar-
riages, Mr. King concedes, "I
don't know if I am the best
communicator in a relation-
ship. My premier energies go
to my work.
Recently, in the press,
there have been rumors of
trouble in his 13-month-old
marriage to Philadelphian
Julie Alexander. "There are

tainment writer for the Jewish
Exponent in Philadelphia.
Larry King:
Always asking.
things the audience knows
more about me than my
wife."
He knows why he's had
such wedded blitz. "I control
my environment at 9," he
says of the air time for his
nightly CNN program. "But
you can't control lice at 4 in
the afternoon."
Mr. King is in control of
his interviews, whether they
be Jackie Mason or Donald
Trump. But there was a time
when Mr. King gave less
than royal treatment to a
guest.
A fan of Frank Sinatra's,
Larry King admits he was
"unfair to Kitty Kelly,"
whose unauthorized
biography of Frank Sinatra
singed the singer.
"I was snide, catty, cutting
to Kelly," recalls Mr. King.
"I let my emotions get the
best of me."
Maybe Larry King, the
supreme questioner, can an-
swer this: Why do Jews
always seem to answer a
question with a question?
"Why? We Jews have to
have answers."
Does Mr. King have all the
answers? Maybe not all.
"But I want to know as
much as I can about life,"
says the topnotch talker. El
