Larry King is one of the best known people in the broadcasting business. Since he married Utah-native Shawn Southwick in 1997, Utah has become his sometimes second home.

Among other things... Larry's become a big BYU Cougar fan. They enjoy watching Shawn's brother, Brett Engemann, a quarterback at BYU who'll be a senior this coming year.

Just last month, Larry King was in town again. Our own Dick Nourse introduced Larry as the keynote speaker at the "Utah-California Women" Gala at the Salt Lake Marriott.

Money raised at the 5-hundred dollar a plate dinner went directly to "Special Olympics, Utah."

Dick also had the chance to sit down with Larry and talk to him about his amazing career. It was quite a chat.

Larry King can talk about anything and everything. Dick asked him who his favorite interview was, and he had a hard time pinpointing just one.

LARRY KING/TALKSHOW HOST:"I'VE TALKED TO ALL THE GREAT RELIGIOUS LEADERS IN THE WORLD. I'VE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO INTERVIEW FROM THE HINCKLEYS TO THE MACARIUSES TO THE GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH...EVERYONE BUT THE POPE."

LARRY KING/TALKSHOW HOST:"WHEN I WAS 23 YEARS OLD I INTERVIEWED ELEANOR ROOSEVELT. THAT BLEW MY MIND."

LARRY KING/TALKSHOW HOST:"UMMM...MARTIN LUTHER KING...MALCOLM X...ROBERT KENNEDY...FRANK SINATRA."

DICK NOURSE: "I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO YOUR MIND WHEN I MENTION THESE NAMES. BARBRA STREISAND.

LARRY KING:"FUSSY, PROFESSIONAL WHO...WHAT DRIVES ME CRAZY ABOUT BARBRA IS HER...IT'S HARD TO SAY THIS ...BUT A GREAT TALENT...HER LACK OF FAITH IN HERSELF. 'CAN I SING...CAN I DO THIS...HOW CAN I HANDLE THIS...I'M GOING ON I'M SO NERVOUS...IS THE LIGHT RIGHT...IS THE CAMERA CORRECT...WHAT AM I GOING TO SAY...WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO ASK ME?'...AND THEN ONCE SHE'S ON...BAM!...SHE'S A GREAT GUEST."

DICK NOURSE:"HOW ABOUT MADONNA?

LARRY KING:"I LIKE MADONNA. I HAD A FUN INTERVIEW WITH MADONNA. TWO PEOPLE AND SHE KNOWS HERSELF...SHE'S VERY SELF PROMOTIVE."

LARRY KING: "ANOTHER ONE THAT REALLY SURPRISED ME WAS PRINCE. PRINCE IS SO SMART AND REALLY HIP...AND HE'S FUNNY."

DICK NOURSE:"OPRAH WINFREY?" LARRY KING:"BOY IS SHE SOME DAME."

DICK NOURSE:"UH...MIKHAIL GORBACHEV?"

LARRY KING:"HE'S WESTERN. HE'S A RUSSIAN WESTERNER. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN POLITICIAN."

LARRY KING:"GORBACHEV IS CERTAINLY A PATHFINDER. HE OUTLIVED HIS TIME AND HE LIVES NOW NOT IN POPULARITY AT ALL...MUCH MORE POPULAR IN THE WEST THAN HE IS IN HIS COUNTRY."

DICK NOURSE: "YASSER ARAFAT?"

LARRY KING:"HE'S A...I EXPECTED HIM TO BE CRUSTY. HE HAS A SENSE OF HUMOR...HE'S PLAYFUL."

DICK NOURSE: "HOW ABOUT BILL CLINTON?"

LARRY KING:"ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET. HE'S RIGHT UP THERE WITH EDGAR BENNETT WILLIAMS AND OTHERS AS THE BRIGHTEST. THERE'S NOTHING BILL CLINTON DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD...AND THERE'S NO IDEA HE DOESN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR. BUT HE HAS A WEAKNESS...AN OBVIOUS WEAKNESS THAT WE'VE COME TO LEARN AND IT'S HELD HIM BACK FROM WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN GREATNESS."

DICK NOURSE: "GEORGE BUSH?"

LARRY KING:"SENIOR OR...?"

DICK NOURSE:"HAVE YOU INTERVIEWED GEORGE W.?"

LARRY KING:"OH YEAH...GEORGE W. AND GEORGE."

DICK NOURSE:"BOTH?"

LARRY KING: "I'VE INTERVIEWED BOTH."

DICK NOURSE: "THE SENIOR...A LOT OF SIMILARITIES?"

LARRY KING: "SOME, BUT NOT MANY. THE SENIOR GEORGE IS ONE OF THE GREAT GUYS...LIKE HE'S A GREAT GUY...AND HE'S VERY EMOTIONAL."

LARRY KING: "SWEET PERSON. THERE'S NO ANGRY BONES IN HIM. AND HE DIDN'T WORK THAT HARD."

LARRY KING:"GEORGE W. IS SMARTER THAN PEOPLE THINK. WE OUGHT TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR IT. CRAFTY. LEARNING WELL ON THE JOB. AND AN ABSENSE OF EGO. THAT'S EXTRAORDINARY FOR SOMEONE WHO'S PRESIDENT."
