James Ray, Larry King and a producer in a photo taken autumn 2006 during a James Ray appearance on "Larry King Live." The subject was "Beyond the Power of Positive Thinking."
This is gonna be interesting.
On Monday, Larry King hosts the family of Kirby Brown, who died in the James Ray sweat lodge.
What makes the situation interesting is the fact that the “Larry King Live” executive producer is known to have had a business relationship with Ray in the past.
Apparently, the producer was so taken with the philosophy of “The Secret,” that she focused at least two episodes of King’s show on the subject, and personally booked James Arthur Ray as a guest.
But wait. There’s more.
Around the time Ray last appeared on “LKL,” King’s producer was shopping him to a Hollywood production company to host Ray’s own syndicated show based on “The Secret.”
Her efforts to pitch Ray were unsuccessful, in part due to the fact that Oprah Winfrey sent word to Ray that she was interested in building a show around him and his teachings.
Ray quickly abandoned King’s producer for Winfrey’s people – but talks with the Big “O” eventually broke off, leaving him out in the cold.
So the question is: Will King go easy on Ray’s actions during Monday’s show… or will he be out for blood?
As they say in Hollywood, stay tuned.
