American journalist (87 years)

The American network, CNN, announced yesterday, Saturday, that the famous talk show host Larry King, who worked for it for 25 years, had contracted the emerging coronavirus and was being treated in a Los Angeles hospital for more than a week.

"CNN" quoted "a source close to his family" that the 87-year-old American journalist had been admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

The veteran journalist is already suffering from type 2 diabetes, in addition to other health problems, as he suffered from lung cancer and suffered several heart attacks and angina caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.

Larry King is considered one of the most prominent figures in the history of television in the United States, and was known for his wrapped shirt sleeves, the multi-colored ties he wore, and large suspenders and glasses.

For 25 years, he presented the "Larry King Live" program.

In it, he interviewed all American presidents since 1974 and some of the most prominent world leaders, such as the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Russian President Vladimir Putin, in addition to the stars of Kafr Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando and Barbara Streisand.
