Larry King Live.
Called the "master interviewer" by Entertainment Tonight, Larry King hosts one of CNN's consistently highest-rated programs, Larry King Live. The only live international phone-in television talk show, Larry King Live is telecast each weeknight from 9 - 10 p.m. (ET) and includes phone calls from viewers around the world. Larry King Live debuted in 1985.
Larry King Live has made headlines with interviews with such newsworthy guests as President Bill Clinton, Marlon Brando, Michael Jordan and Yasser Arafat. King's famed NAFTA debate between Vice President Al Gore and Ross Perot in 1993 obtained the highest cable rating in CNN history outside its Gulf War coverage. His extensive interviews with the major political candidates made Larry King Live a particularly noteworthy part of the 1992 presidential campaign. King also hosts Larry King Weekend, which airs every Saturday night from 9 - 10 p.
