A surprisingly candid look inside the monumental career
of one of the most powerful and legendary talk-show hosts, and
the final year of the nightly television program that has been
close to all our hearts. After more than a half century of asking questions, in 2010
Larry king suddenly found everyone wanted answers from him. why
was Larry King Live, CNN's highest-rated program, ending
after three decades? was Larry getting divorced again? Truth
Be Told is a deeply revealing look at the broadcast legend
as he dealt with marriage upheaval, the ensuing paparazzi and
tabloid controversy, prostate cancer, the twenty-fifth anniversary
of Larry King Live, and ultimately, his decision to leave
the show to pursue a secret dream -- stand- up comedy. Larry reflects on how much the world has changed around him over
the course of his fifty-year career, and the riveting
conversations he's had with the most compelling figures in
politics, entertainment, medicine, and technology. in these pages,
Larry also shares his most memorable moments with singers and
songwriters (from Sinatra to Lady Gaga); actors (from Marlon
Brando to Al Pacino); billionaires (the high-profile Donald Trump
and the low-profile Carlos Slim); world leaders (Barack Obama,
Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad); crooks (Bernie Madoff, the
interview that got away); comedians (from Lenny Bruce to Jerry
Seinfeld to Chris Rock); and a host of others. pub date: 2012-05-08 | Paperback | 9781602861619 |
