Although Larry King is now a household name, the famous talk show host almost ruined his broadcasting career in the late 1970s when he found himself faced with considerable financial struggles.
As King began to gain some name recognition for his radio show and celebrity interviews in Miami in the 1960s, he began living far beyond his means, famously spending money on expensive cars and betting on horse racing. In the early 1970s, King found himself in serious debt, divorced, and fired from his job after a Wall Street scandal.
King did not hold a regular position in journalism for over four years, which worsened his debt, leading him to declare bankruptcy in 1978. That same year, his situation began to turn around when he was offered a position hosting a late-night talk radio show in Washington D.C., which eventually became his tremendously successful CNN television show, “Larry King Live”.
With the help of bankruptcy, King was able to successfully overcome his outstanding debt, regain a solid financial start, and build what is now recognized as one of the most famous talk shows in our country’s history.
