Childhood and dreams of becoming a radio host<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The real name of the famous radio host was Lawrence Harvey Zeiger. He was born in Brooklyn in 1933. His parents were both emigrants from Belarus. They both worked to earn a living for their three children. The mother worked as a seamstress, and the father worked in a defense plant and owned a bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future journalist and radio host was fond of radio since childhood. Zeiger, meanwhile, did not attend college after high school. When his father died of a heart attack, the youngster grew up swiftly. He found a job after graduating from high school to help support his mother, who was on state aid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeiger still dreamed of working in radio, so he relocated to Florida. There were more prospects for inexperienced radio hosts in this city. The young man was hired by a radio station, but his duties included cleaning the facility and completing tasks for other staff members. However, he received a favorable response from fate. Once, a radio host failed to show up for work. Zeiger was given the opportunity to go live. Although he accepted the proposal, the young man was terrified. For several minutes, there was complete silence on the air. But Lawrence Zeiger pulled himself together and told radio listeners that this was his first live broadcast. This occurred on May 1, 1957. The management was impressed with the young man’s performance and asked him to host the show. In addition, the channel’s administration insisted on Zeiger changing his last name. As a result, Larry King was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
