Well, to make a long story short, Larry King is Jewish!

Since Larry King's mother is Jewish, and in Orthodox Judaism and Conservative Judaism, those with a Jewish mother (or those who underwent a halakhic conversion) are considered Jewish, then that makes him Jewish. His father is Jewish too.

Larry King (whose full birth name is Lawrence Harvey Zeiger) was born on November 19, 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, United States.

He is an American television and radio host whose work has been recognized with awards including two Peabodys and ten Cable ACE Awards.
