Larry King
Brooklyn hockey fans cheered when the Islanders moved to Barclays, but few realized that the borough was home to an earlier, little-known professional hockey team named the Brooklyn Americans. Birthed with a bootlegger's dough, the Americans pre-dated the New York Rangers and opened Madison Square Garden. Wearing star spangled uniforms, the Americans were the NHL's loveable losers while the 20s roared. But, when the depression came and the partying came crashing to an end, so did the good times for the Amerks. With a fire-brand defenceman from the Canadian wheat belt, Red Dutton, at the helm, the Americans made one last desperate attempt at surival - they moved to Brooklyn.

  • Trivia
    Never prepared for interviews. His reasoning was that the average audience member knew little or nothing about a given show guest, so he preferred to begin as they would begin, and learn about the guest during the course of the show.
  • Quotes
    I never think of access or good will. I just want a good interview. I want guests to be informative and entertaining. I've never been concerned about someone's liking me tomorrow.
