Former CNN talk show host Larry King has been hospitalized with COVID-19 for more than a week, the news channel reported Saturday.

He is hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is in isolation while he receives treatment.


King hosted the “The Larry King Show” on the radio from 1978 to 1994. The show overlapped with his television show “Larry King Live” on CNN from 1985 to 2010.

The television host suffered a tragedy last year after two of his children died just weeks apart. His son Andy died from a heart attack in July and his daughter, Chaia, died of lung cancer in August.

The report indicated that the longtime television host, 87, is in isolation and unable to receive visits from his wife of 23 years, Shawn King
