Larry King refuses to slow down and quit
The television personality revealed that no matter how hard things may get, he will never retire.
King suffered a stroke just a week after heart surgery in which a stent was placed.
“I was driving to the doctor’s office and I don’t remember anything after that,” King reflected. “I woke up in intensive care and I had tubes in me. They told my family I was going to die.”
The stroke has set a somber tone for King, however it didn't stifle his passion for his work.
“I have less of a fear of dying now,” he said.
“I’m 86 and it is what it is. I just want to keep working until the end. I’d like to die at work — I’ll retire right there!”
The father of five reflects on his life proudly, and said, “I’m very proud of what I do. And I’m a good father — nothing beats parenthood. There’s an element of pinching myself every day. Look at what I’ve come through. All in all, if you look at it, I’ve had a blessed life.”
Larry King has been gracing the small screen since 1978.
