In November 2019, Larry King celebrated his 86th birthday, and also revealed that he’d had a stroke, which had caused him to go into a coma for two weeks. Speaking to Extra, King explained, “Everything got better except my left foot, and I have been rehabbing that every day, and they say I will be walking by Christmas.” The stroke also left King with memory loss, who said, “I don’t remember anything since March … I haven’t driven a car, but I’m back at work and that makes me feel great.” As noted by Extra, King returned to both of his shows, “Larry King Now” and “Politicking with Larry King,” following his stroke. “My head doctor said I have an incomparable spirit,” he told Extra. Basically, King was determined to go back to work and to complete his rehab, despite having been in a coma just months earlier.

While the stroke changed King’s mobility and left him with considerable memory loss, the television and radio host remained in the public eye until his death on January 23, 2021 of sepsis, after contracting COVID-19.
