4 years ago I met Larry King when he and his foundation helped me. Since then we have remained friends and I have come to know his family and all the wonderful people that run his foundation. Twice a year the foundation has a Gala Dinner to raise money and I get to shoot it. 
The morning after one of the Gala's, I was eating breakfast as Larry was reading one of the many newspapers he reads every morning. I asked him to ask me a couple questions about me and he asked me why did I want him to do it. I told him that I wanted to be interviewed by him. He laughed and not too long after he asked me to come on his show and talk about my experience with his foundation. Honestly, all I could think about was how many famous and infamous people have sat in my chair. Doing the show was a blast and he is the best at what he does. Thanks Larry for a time I will never forget.This is what it's like behind the scenes at Larry King Live. His son Larry King Jr. met me at the studio in DC to shoot this entry. Since this is his last few months of doing his show, I wanted to do some shots that no one really get to see like shooting from behind him to see his set and crew.
