From Publishers Weekly:
King's brisk recap of the 1992 Presidential campaign as seen on talk-show televison offers few new insights. Rather, it is a lively account of a strange campaign in which Ross Perot announced his candidacy on King's own CNN show, Larry King Live , Bill Clinton played his saxophone on the Arsenio Hall Show and Jerry Brown offered his 800 phone number everywhere on the airwaves. King ( Tell It to the King ) argues that the high-ratings, miniseries-like, talk-show campaign was "good for the process" in that it created "more interest in the candidates and the issues" among distrustful voters seeking "unfiltered" talk. In a chatty, self-deprecating style ("Here I was, a guy from Brooklyn . . ."), King recounts each candidate's attitude toward and experience on the major talk shows. His cautionary note: politicians must not be allowed to "circumvent" tough questions by well-informed journalists on complex issues.
