Larry King’s Best Celebrity Interviews: From Marlon Brando’s Kiss to Jerry Seinfeld’s Fit – Variety

With a career spanning 63 years, Larry King had many memorable moments behind the mic. The veteran broadcaster, who died Saturday at the age of 87, became a household name as the host of CNN’s “Larry King Live,” which logged a record-setting run of hours from 1985 to 2010. When King signed off of CNN for the last time on Dec. 16. 2010, he had clocked in more than 6,000 shows. His on-air trademarks included his vintage RCA microphone, his sense of humor and his ever-present suspenders. Here’s a sampling of classic King interviews: Marlon Brando In 1994, King interviewed the famously iconoclastic actor who was promoting his book, “Songs My Mother Taught Me.” King conducted the interview at Brando’s home, and the two-time Oscar winner answered every question about his child...

Inside details on Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas split – Page Six

Some hot-and-heavy couples are torn apart when September interrupts their summer fling. For Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas, it’s a case of reality ruining their pandemic love affair. “The quarantine was unique because they had downtime and ­really got to know each other spending time at home,” a source who knows Affleck and de Armas told The Post. “But once work picked up, things started to change.” De Armas just signed on for the film “The Gray Man,” alongside Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling, while Affleck will next star in ­George Clooney’s adaptation of the book “The Tender Bar.” After months of loved-up lockdown — with PDA-filled dog walks and coffee runs in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood — it was reported this week that the two had called it qui...

The coronavirus pandemic explained, one year on – CNET

On Jan. 19, 2020, CNET posted its first guide to a mystery coronavirus discovered in the Chinese city of Wuhan. Dozens of cases and two deaths had been recorded, but as we wrote at the time, little was known about "how destructive the new virus might be." The coronavirus -- and the disease it causes -- hadn't even been named. It hadn't officially been found in the US.  Today we call the mystery pathogen SARS-CoV-2. It's responsible for COVID-19, a respiratory illness that has infected over 100 million people. In just one year...

Cobra Kai season 3 uses Kreese to warn against over-glorifying the military – Polygon

Cobra Kai season 3, the first batch of episodes to premiere on Netflix, does something fascinating with its Big Bad, John Kreese: In a story arc about how old rivalries and past trauma can continue to deal damage across decades, the show’s writers use the character to question the amount of automatic respect and trust that America places in its veterans. Such a loaded, nuanced criticism sticks out on Cobra Kai.
