Larry King Live

===Frequent topics===
During major election coverage, the program may center on political analysis and commentary, as the show's prime time airing generally coincides with the closing of polls in many states. Larry King would air generally near the end of each hour with various guests during election coverage while hosting a panel at the end of the night which is midnight eastern the usual time slot for the show's daily repeat outside of live election coverage.

One of King's recurring topics is the [[paranormal]]. A frequent guest is [[John Edward]] of the popular television show ''[[John Edward|Crossing Over]] with John Edward''. Edward comes on the show and gives callers a free chance to supposedly communicate, via him, with their dead loved ones. King also had alleged psychics such as [[Sylvia Browne]] and [[James Van Praagh]] on from time to time to do readings and discuss the future. King sometimes allows skeptics such as [[James Randi]] to debate the psychics. In an April 2005 episode, King hosted a panel discussion regarding [[Evangelicalism|Evangelical]], [[Catholic]], [[Jewish]], [[Muslim]], and [[atheist]] views on the [[afterlife]]. King has also had topics about UFOs and Extraterrestrials where he goes on to pit them one against the other, believers views on the [[afterlife]] against skeptics.

King is also frequently accused of pandering to [[Sensationalism|sensationalist]] news stories; for instance, the death of [[Anna Nicole Smith]] took up much of King's shows after the event, causing the cancellation of numerous guests and interviews that were already scheduled, most notably [[Christopher Hitchens]], who had intended to discuss the Iraq situation.

After the death of a prominent celebrity, King would either replay a recent program featuring said celebrity (for instance, after actor [[Don Knotts]]' death in 2006 King replayed the interview with Knotts and [[Andy Griffith]] taken several months before) or will bring on family members and close confidantes to the deceased to reminisce on the departed's life.
