Larry King, who hosted CNN's "Larry King Live" for 25 years, is reportedly undergoing treatment at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center according to KATC and CNN.

According to vanityfair.com, King has been hospitalized at "Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for over a week".

King hasn't been active on Twitter since Thanksgiving on November 26, 2020.

 

King has battled a few serious health issues in recent years, including lung cancer in 2017 and a stroke in 2019.

Given his age and that fact King has Type 2 diabetes, this is a serious situation for the broadcasting legend. At this time it's not known how King is currently doing.
