As a speaker, few can match the authority, experience, and perspective Larry King offers on world events and the passion he displays in defense of journalism.

Having celebrated his 45th year in broadcasting in 2002, Larry King is the hard-hitting host of CNN's "Larry King Live," the first worldwide phone-in television talk show and the network's highest-rated program. Thanks to the mic, the glasses, the suspenders and the hyperbole, King has become a broadcasting icon, and one of the most recognizable faces in the world. The Emmy Award-winning King, author of multiple books, has been dubbed "The Most Remarkable Talk-Show Host On TV Ever" by "TV Guide" and "Master of the Mike" by "Time" magazine.
