RIP Larry. You were the best.

I turned two on this day. RIP Larry.

I was Larry’s Overnight Producer at Mutual for a number of years in the 80’s and we remembered close friends for life- THank you for posting this- ON my page is a special TRIBUTE I did after being interviewed all over the place for my thoughts- Larry loved Gleason probably more than anyone on the planet. Without Gleason Larry would have never had the career he did- Thanks again Neil

[@NeilRogersRadio]

Neil was a guest on Larry's show on March 31, 1977. We would LOVE to recover that audio. If you have any leads, please let us know.

may they both rest in peace

Wish I could find a show from 1979 during the iran hostage crises. I engineered the show at 16 at a sprigfield ma radio station. First professional job overnights at wmas am.

Jackie Gleason was a simple and plain man.

A bar with chairs featuring safety belts. Now that's some hard drinking.

RIP Larry.

Nice. I have all of his Mutual Broadcasting System shows but not this one. Very rare. Thank You

[@ke0nc]

You have all 16 years of his shows? Including Open Phone America?

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

@@ke0nc I believe so. Haven't transferred them to digital yet

[@ke0nc]

@@TELEVISIONARCHIVES That would be fantastic to have them archived. Years ago, Larry was working with a company to archive his shows, but it never happened that I know of.

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

@@ke0nc KZbin pulled a few of the ones I did transfer. I got these from a man who worked at one of the radio stations

[@deejay8403]

Oh God how I’d like to hear some of those radio shows, especially Open Phone America! I’d be up in bed trying to sleep while listening to Larry from my junior year in high school until around 1985.

[@mookie449]

Larry was 42 in this interview.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

People can make fun of Larry all they want, but he knew/knows how to get people to talk. He's not a journalist so he doesn't need to grill people - just get them to babble. People love to talk about themselves- unless their a boring SOB.

[@jonchaney]

Jackie used to lay awake and think at night, while designing ovens.

[@lorenzofasitta2813]

Neil and Larry were Friends. All aside.

[@jonchaney]

Jackie and Larry smoked during his interview.

[@waynemuldrow4066]

Maybe some Bourbon too....the 70's

[@ommgafar2010]

How do you know?

[@ommgafar2010]

In fact Jackie sounded like he had few drinks before.

[@jonchaney]

Because i can relate. Its something i would do in 1975. If i wasn't five at the time. Im imagining, but i think you would agree, they tossed back a few and smoked during this interview.

[@samuelworthan5426]

@@jonchaney I think you’re right about that, I was 29 in 1975 and I was doing both of those things myself. 🧔🏼👍🏼

[@DinoLondis]

Hello from 2020.

[@bluecollarbeat3156]

I am looking for his interview with Ronald Reagan before Reagan was president. Any help.would be greatly appreciated.

[@NeilRogersRadio]

Sorry. This was the only Larry King show we found.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

Did Mutual keep the tapes of the 16 years of Larry at the network? Where are they?

[@jonchaney]

mars

[@marbury2403]

Jackie was wrong about Uri Geller.

[@Jeremiah7-ox2nj]

Gleason was a sucker for fakes like Uri Geller.

[@jonchaney]

Jackie did not trim down there. It smelled horrible. So said Jan Stewart.

[@jonchaney]

Jackie sat on Larry face. Told him to smell his town house. Larry turned the tables and invited Jackie for some “ action”

[@jonchaney]

Apparently Jackie gave Larry a “dirty sanchez” shortly before air time. Larry then “tossed” Jackie’s salad. Sources say “snow balling” may have taken place.

[@jonchaney]

Jackie’s sack smelled like day old lobster. Larry went there.

[@Jeremiah7-ox2nj]

​@@jonchaney You should know, huh?
