Here are some highlights of Larry King with Conan O’Brien over the years
January 23, 2021 Andrew Buss Features, In Memoriam
Going as far back as the Late Night days, Conan O’Brien seemingly has a knack for getting serious people to completely let their guard down when they were a guest on his show. From James Lipton to Martha Stewart to Harrison Ford to Abe Vigoda, it is as if there is a safety net when you’re with Conan that you won’t find with anyone else. There is a comfort level, as if you know that you’re completely safe under Conan’s guidance.
One of the prime examples of this was whenever he had Larry King on as a guest. King, who was often an O’Brien joke staple whenever he referenced something old, was up for anything. In honor of his passing, we thought we’d take a look at just how unexpectedly funny Larry King could be on his many appearances with the late night host. From sharing a weed brownie to getting into bed with Conan and Andy to playing an angel to hosting a show from the rafters, take a look at just what made him a fan favorite over the years.
