BCAlum2000 42 Posted January 2, 2021 Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't make the main DL this year, considering all the health issues he's battled, on top of his advanced age. But I admit, I didn't really think about him either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man About The Forum 78 Posted January 2, 2021 If Larry King dies, which isn't unlikely, then it would be a quiet year for him to be the biggest miss of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted January 2, 2021 This isn't a new hospitalization, either. He's been in the hospital for a week. Have to wonder, why announce it now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only Gorbachev and Jerry Lee Lewis are really at his level and in similar poor health. Maybe Desmond Tutu as I am convinced he is going this year.

chiesa52 132 Posted January 3, 2021 This doesn't look good- still one never knows, where there's life there's hope! I have a bad feeling about it , because they are suddenly putting him in the news after all of that time in the hospital! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted January 3, 2021 I've forgot who's on the list but I assume Larry King is on it? Hit no 1 coming up ! edit..he doesn't appear to be on the list. How can that be ?????????? BBC has the news along with every major news network. Must be expecting the worst at any time...https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55519403 First really big death of 2021 ?

Genfærd 452 Posted January 3, 2021 10 days in the hospital? That pretty much means that its very likely that he is close to pass from it. Would take a mircale for him to survive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrWonderful 481 Posted January 3, 2021 When TMZ reported that his estranged wife was told by his doctors that he was "dying", I believed it. TMZ doesn't get crap like that wrong. He was probably fortunate to see 2021 as it is, and now you add this? Maybe he still has a miracle in him yet, but this doesn't look good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he was already on borrowed time for his heart issues, but this will make it an even earlier death, assuming he does succumb to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,987 Posted January 3, 2021 Larry was a pretty late cut for my teams. I thought that a man who has proven so resilient, would also survive the latest crisis. Well, I didn't know of the COVID, of course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 3, 2021 All of THAT ^^^ what @gcreptile said.... he was also one of the last 2 or 3 I cut, having NO idea about COVID. I had a crazy 90-minute research throw-a-team-together list this year, so unlike most anyone's. I have a sneaking suspicion Biz Markie (stroke and heart attack inside of 7 months, at about 60 years old) is on his way .out - and included him on my home DP team. He was a hard name to cut, cuz we are all looking for an edge (and people under 80). Ditto Pat Martino. Joyce Miller-Nadler I felt wouldn't QO, but I liked her. I doubt Bill Freehan will QO, but hey. List of about 8 late cut names: Larry King, Pat Martino, Biz Markie, Paul Westphal, Bunny Wailer, Vincente Fernandez (no way he QOs), Tim Bilton, Jimmy Carter, Harry Reid, Ronnie Atkins (no way he QOs). I haven't looked but I dont' believe under the new rules Andrea Swift should be allowed and I will be disappointed if she was. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
