King began as a local Florida journalist and radio interviewer in the 1950s and 1960s and gained notoriety since 1978 as host of The Larry King Show, an all-night nationwide call-up in a radio program heard about the mutual broadcasting system. From 1985 to 2010, he hosted the nightly program of Larry King's Live interview on CNN. From 2012 to 2020, he hosted Larry King on Hulu and RT America. He continues to conduct Politicking with Larry King, a weekly political talk show that has aired weekly on the same two channels since 2013. King's early life and education were born in Brooklyn, New York, one of two children of Jenny (Gitlitz), a sewing worker who was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, and Aaron Seiger, a restaurant owner and defense factory worker who was born in Kolomia, Austria-Hungary. His parents were Orthodox Jews. King attended Lafayette High School, a public high school in Brooklyn. King's father died at the age of 44 from a heart attack that resulted in his mother, brother and himself receiving social security support. The king suffered greatly from his father's death, and he lost interest in the school. After graduating from high school, Larry worked to help support his mother. From an early age he wanted to work in broadcasting. The Miami radio and television CBS staff announcer, whom King met by chance, invited him to go to Florida, which was a growing media market with openings for inexperienced broadcasters. King went to Miami, and after initial setbacks, he got his first job on the radio. The manager of a small station, WAHR (now WMBM) in Miami Beach, hired him to clean up and perform various tasks. When one of the station announcers suddenly resigned, King was put on the air. His first show was on May 1, 1957, working as a disc jockey from 9 a.m. to noon. He also made two daytime newscasts and a sports issue. He was paid $50 a week. He acquired the name Larry King when the general manager, Simmonds claimed that Seiger was too ethnic and difficult to remember, so a few minutes before airtime, Larry chose the surname King, which he received from an advertisement in the Miami Herald for King's wholesale liquor. Within two years, he legally changed his name to Larry King. He began interviewing the morning show for WIOD, at the Pumpernik restaurant in Miami Beach. He interviewed whoever came in. His first interview was with a waiter in a restaurant. Two days later, singer Bobby Darin in Miami entered the Pumpernik at a concert that evening after hearing King's radio show; Darin became the first guest interviewing the Celebrity King. King's radio show in Miami attracted local attention. A few years later, in May 1960, he hosted Miami Undercover, airing Sunday night at 11.30pm on WPST-TV Channel 10 (now WPLG). On the show he moderated the debate on important local issues of the day. King attributes his success to local television helping comedian Jackie Gleeson, whose national television variety show is being taped in Miami Beach during that time. That show really took off because Gleeson came to Miami, King said in a 1996 interview he gave when inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame. He did this show and stayed with me all night. We stayed until five in the morning. He didn't like the set, so we broke into the general manager's office and changed the set. Gleason changed the set, he changed the lighting, and he became my mentor. King's mugshot of the 1971 arrest in Miami During this period, WIOD gave King further exposure as a color commentator for the Miami National Football League Dolphins, during their 1970 season and most of their 1971 season. However, he was fired by both WIOD and the television station WTVJ as a late-night radio host and sports commentator as he was arrested on 20 December 1971 after being accused of grand theft by former business partner Louis Wolfson. Other staffers covered the Dolphins' game in their 24-3 loss to Dallas in Super Bowl VI. The charges were dropped. In the end, King was re-hired by WIOD. For several years in the 1970s, he hosted a sports talk show called Sports-a-la-King featuring guests and callers. Main article of National Radio: Larry King Show King interviewed Vladimir Putin in 2000 King interviewing President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush in 2006 on January 30, 1978, King went national on the nightly mutual broadcasting system from coast to coast broadcasting, 27 inheriting a talk show slot that began with Herb Jepko in 1975, and then Longbel John Ne , before his illness and death next year. King's show quickly developed a devoted audience. The program was Live Monday to Friday from midnight to 5:30 am ET. King will interview the guest for the first 90 minutes, with callers asking questions that continued to interview for another 90 minutes. At 3 a.m., an Open Phone America segment began, where he allowed callers to discuss any topic they pleased him with until the end of the program, when he expressed his own political views. Many stations in the Western Time belts carried the open phone America part of the show in real time, then then the guest interview on the tape delay. Some of King's regular callers used aliases or received King's nicknames, such as The Numbers Guy, The Chair, The Portland Laugher, The Miami Derelict and The Scandal Scooper. The show was successful, starting with a relatively small number of affiliates and eventually grew to more than 500. King hosted the show before retiring in 1994. King occasionally entertained the audience by telling funny stories from his youth or early career on the air. In the last year, the show was rescheduled in the afternoon. After King resigned, Mutual gave an afternoon slot to David Brenner, and Mutual's affiliates were given the opportunity to carry an audio recording of King's new evening television program to CNN. After Westwood One disbanded Mutual in 1999, CNN's broadcast continued until December 31, 2009. CNN's main article: Larry King Live King during the recording of his Larry King Live program at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, in the 2006 Larry King Live CNN Show began in June 1985, in which King hosted a wide range of guests from controversial figures of UFO conspiracy theories and alleged psychics, to prominent politicians and leading entertainment industry figures, often doing his first or only interview on the latest news on his show. After making his CNN show from 9 to 10 p.m., King then traveled to the studios of the mutual broadcasting system to make his radio show, when both shows were still aired. Unlike many interviewers, King has a direct, non-confrontational approach. His reputation for asking easy, open questions has made him appealing to important figures who want to publish their position while avoiding being challenged on controversial topics. King said that by interviewing the authors, he doesn't read their books in advance, so he won't know more than his audience. Throughout his career, King has interviewed many of the leading figures of his time. According to CNN, King has conducted more than 30,000 interviews during his career. King also wrote a regular newspaper column in USA Today for nearly 20 years, from the very first debut of a national newspaper in Baltimore-Washington in 1982 to September 2001. The column consisted of short connected, excellent and but was removed when The newspaper reworked its Life section. The column was resurrected in the form of a blog in November 2008 and on Twitter in April 2009. Departing June 29, 2010, King announced that after 25 years, he would be stepping down from his night job hosting Larry King Live. However, he said he would stay with CNN to hold a casual special. The announcement came in the wake of speculation that CNN will approach Piers Morgan, a British television personality and journalist, as a replacement for primetime king, 46 that was suspended that Sept. The final edition of Larry King Live aired on December 16, 2010, after a quarter of a century. The show ended with his last thoughts and thanks to his audience for watching and supporting him over the years. Larry King's final words on the show were: I... I don't know what to say except you, my audience, thank you. And instead of goodbye, how about for so long. On February 17, 2012, CNN announced that it would no longer host special programs. Main articles Ora TV: Larry King now and Politics with Larry King In March 2012, King co-founded Ora TV, a production company, with Mexican business tycoon Carlos Slim.

  • Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock
    Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Home (/gendersarchive1998-2013/) Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock May 1, 2012 • By Linda Mizejewski (/gendersarchive1998-2013/linda-mizejewski) [1] The title of Tina Fey's humorous 2011 memoir, Bossypants, suggests how closely Fey is identified with her Emmy-award winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006-), where she is the "boss"—the show's creator, star, head writer, and executive producer. Fey's reputation as a feminist—indeed, as Hollywood's Token Feminist, as some journalists have wryly pointed out—heavily inflects the character she plays, the "bossy" Liz Lemon, whose idealistic feminism is a mainstay of her characterization and of the show's comedy. Fey's comedy has always focused on gender, beginning with her work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where she became that show's first female head writer in 1999. A year later she moved from behind the scenes to appear in the "Weekend Update" sketches, attracting national attention as a gifted comic with a penchant for zeroing in on women's issues. Fey's connection to feminist politics escalated when she returned to SNL for guest appearances during the presidential campaign of 2008, first in a sketch protesting the sexist media treatment of Hillary Clinton, and more forcefully, in her stunning imitations of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, which launched Fey into national politics and prominence. [2] On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is the head writer of an NBC comedy much likeSNL, and she is identified as a "third wave feminist" on the pilot episode.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

Yet, what I want to believe and the reality are, sadly, seldom in agreement. Across the globe, there are those who abuse and harm animals, especially domesticated pets like dogs and cats, without remorse. Recently a short video popping up all over social media showed a western woman furious at the neglect of a small dog that was abandoned in a garbage bin. The pup had been left to die. The woman found the dog thrown in with the trash suffering from extreme cold and diarrhea. In the video she is clearly incensed at KUWAIT: Youth from Kuwait take part in an annual pearl diving expedition aimed at re-enacting Kuwait’s pearling her- the vendors who threw the pet when it became sick, itage and preserving the tradition. — File photo by Yasser Al-Zayyat rather than pay for the cost of a vet.
