Broadcasting legendLarry King died has diedat the age of 87, according toCNN.
A cause of death has yet to be announced.
And King’s take on his replacement from across the pond?
“Well, he’s very different from me,” the famed interviewer toldHuffPost Canada.
“He’s fine.
It’s just that I left myself out of interviews …
I just that’s not my style.
So it’s commenting on his style.
Personally, I like him a lot.”
That’s when the friction that had apparently grown between the two men truly came to the surface.
I don’t berate guests and I don’t make it about me.
The guest isn’t a prop.
I didn’t enjoy that.
And I would say that about any host who I felt didn’t serve his audience well.
And I think Piers did not do that.
I didn’t like that key in of interview" (viaThe Guardian).
Morgan was clearly unimpressed with King’s words and issued a rather harsh response onTwitter.
“Actually @kingsthings, I made my CNN show all about gun control & saving lives.
You made yours about blowing smoke up celebrity backsides.”
Morgan posted that King had been a hero of his and then poked fun at King’s eight marriages.
To the end, the two men clearly never resolved their differences.
