Larry King Live is an American television talk show, hosted by Larry King on CNN from 1985 to 2010. It was CNN's most longest-running program, with over one million viewers nightly. Aired from CNN's Los Angeles studios, the show was sometimes broadcast from CNN's studios in Atlanta, New York or Washington, D. C. where King gained national prominence during his years as a radio interviewer for the Mutual Broadcasting System. Every night, King interviewed one or more prominent individuals celebrities and businesspeople; the one-hour show was broadcast three times a day in some areas, was seen all over the world on CNN International. On June 29, 2010, King announced; the final episode aired on December 16, but a new episode on the war against cancer aired two days on December 18. Larry King Live was replaced by Piers Morgan Tonight, a talk show hosted by the British television personality and journalist Piers Morgan, that began airing January 17, 2011, it was renamed Piers Morgan Live in 2013, ran its last episode on March 28, 2014 after being cancelled.

Larry King conducted interviews from the studio, but he interviewed people on-site in the White House, their prison cells, their homes, other unique locations. Critics have claimed that Larry King asks "soft" questions in comparison to other interviewers, which allows him to reach guests who would be averse to interviewing on "tough" talk shows, his reputation for asking easy, open-ended questions has made him attractive to important figures who want to state their position while avoiding being challenged on contentious topics. When interviewed on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, King said that the secret to a good interview is to get the guest to talk about him- or herself, to put oneself in the background pool. A 1996 interview in the Washington Post had King note that he sometimes slips hard questions in between softballs. King prefers one-sentence questions. In interviews, King has proclaimed that he prepares as little as possible for each program, does not read the books of the authors he interviews, admitted that the show was not journalism but "infotainment".

He said that he tries to project an image of earnestness and sincerity in each interview, the format of the show reinforces that. In response to "'softball' questions" accusations, King says, "I've never understood that. All I've tried to do is ask the best questions I could think of, listen to the answers, follow up. I've never not followed up. I don't attack anybody – that's not my style – but I follow up. I've asked people who say this,'What's a softball question?' They'll say,'You say to some movie star, what's your next project?' To me, that's not a softball. To me, that's interesting – what are you doing next?" King accepted call-in questions on some nights. Callers were identified only by city and state/province, not by name. Surprise guests telephoned the show and comment, like governors and celebrities. At times, prank calls came in. During major election coverage, the program may center on political analysis and commentary, as the show's prime time airing coincides with the closing of polls in many states.

Larry King would air near the end of each hour with various guests during election coverage while hosting a panel at the end of the night, midnight eastern the usual time slot for the show's daily repeat outside of live election coverage. One of King's recurring topics is the paranormal. A frequent guest is John Edward of the popular television show Crossing Over with John Edward. Edward comes on the show and gives callers a free chance to communicate, via him, with their dead loved ones. King had alleged psychics such as Sylvia Browne and James Van Praagh on from time to time to do readings and discuss the future. King sometimes allows skeptics such as James Randi to debate the psychics. In an April 2005 episode, King hosted a panel discussion regarding Evangelical, Jewish and atheist views on the afterlife. King has had topics about UFOs and Extraterrestrials where he pits believers against skeptics. King is frequently accused of pandering to sensationalist news stories. After the death of a prominent celebrity, King would either replay a recent program featuring said celebrity or will bring on family members and close confidantes to the deceased to reminisce on the departed's life.

Each studio set features an identical colored-dot map of the world in the background and one of King's trademarks, a vintage RCA microphone, on the desk. The microphone is a prop, as his guests use lapel microphones. On June 3, 1985, Larry King Live debuted on CNN, with then-Governor of New York Mario Cuomo as King's first guest; the November 9, 1993 debate between Ross Perot and Al Gore on the North American Free Trade Agreement was watched in 11.174 million households – the largest audience for a program on an ad-supported cable network until the October 23, 2006 New York Giants-Dallas Cowboys game on ESPN's Monday Night Football. On September 8, 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin is interviewed. On September 25, 2006, Oprah Winfrey made her first endorsement of Barack Obama for President of the United States on Larry King Live

New Lenox Township was established when Will County was created in 1852 with the building of the Rock Island Railroad between Chicago and Rock Island, Illinois. Named Tracey in honor of the general superintendent of the Rock Island Railroad. Mr. Tracy requested that the community be renamed.

The first supervisor of the Rock Island Railway for New Lenox Township, John Van Duser, named the Township New Lenox from the town Lenox, New York, Van Duser's hometown. In 1863, the name for the new settlement became New Lenox Township. New Lenox was not created until October 4, 1946. In 1945, 46 community leaders, F. Carlton Cole, Walter Baers and others reasoned that the community should be incorporated. Recognizing the benefits and the potential growth of the area, a community vote in the spring of 1946 resulted in the authorization for the creation of the Village of New Lenox. On October 4, 1946, the State of Illinois certified that New Lenox was organized and incorporated as a Village in the State of Ill In 1829, fur traders Aaron Friend and Joseph Brown established an outpost along the north side of Hickory Creek, one of the earliest settlements in Will County. Friend moved west with the Native Americans after the Blackhawk War of 1832. In 1830, William Rice, Sr. and William Rice, Jr. arrived and began farming and building a log cabin, which they sold along with their land to John Gougar on behalf of his father William Gougar.

In 1832, “Uncle Billy Gougar” established a post office at his farm where area residents would pick up their mail. The Gougar farm became the center of activity in the area. Village of New Lenox, Illinois. Joseph Norman, who opened the second area sawmill in 1833, was the father of Elizabeth Norman, born in 1832, was the first child born in New Lenox Township. In 1852, the coming of the Rock Island Railroad changed the settlement of the Township. Before the railroad, farmers hauled their goods to the I & M Canal or by wagon all the way to larger cities like Chicago; the railroad brought distant markets to the farmer, along with the mail. Three additional railroads: the Wabash, the Michigan Central, the Elgin and Eastern all crossed New Lenox Township; the area east of Gougar Crossing along the railroad tracks became the new center of town and so the Village of New Lenox began. The village was platted in 1858; the name Tracy was the name shown on the original plat to honor the general superintendent of the Rock Island Railroad.

Tracy requested. The first supervisor for New Lenox Township J. Van Duser had named the Township New Lenox from the town of Lenox, New York, Van Duser's home town. In 1863, the name for the new settlement became New Lenox after the Township; the coming of the Rock Island Railroad in 1852 changed the settlement of the Township considerably. Farmers could do "cash crop" farming by hauling the products to the I & M Canal or by wagon all the way to larger cities like Chicago; the presence of the railroad brought distant markets to the farmer. New Lenox Township was served by three additional railroads: the Wabash, the Michigan Central, the Elgin and Eastern; the most prominent citizen of New Lenox at the turn of the century was H. N. Higinbotham. Although Mr. Higinbotham's home was located in New Lenox, he became famous in Chicago where he was a partner in Marshall Field's, a banker, the organizing and supervising force behind the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, he was a colleague and friend of most of Chicago's leaders, including George Pullman, Marshall Field, the Palmers.

By 1905, there were 132 subscribers; the switchboard operators worked in homes so that 24 hour service could be given to customers to handle emergencies. The Deadmore home at 221 Haven Avenue was the first location for the switchboard. New Lenox is known as "The Home of Proud Americans" which exemplifies the quality of life in the community; as of the census of 2010, there were 24,394 people, 8,000 households, 6,547 families residing in the village.
