- Famous for having an on-air "feud" with Rove McManus, in which both men made jokes about each other's height (or lack thereof) while taping their respective shows in early 2006. The feud came to a head when Larry was invited as a guest on Rove's talk show in June 2006. Rove challenged Larry to a fight in sumo suits, which Larry accepted, and followed up by making "short" work of Rove to steal a victory. When Larry's show Wheel of Fortune (1981) was cancelled just days after his Rove Live (2000) appearance, Rove started a "Save Larry Emdur" campaign, in which he appeared unannounced in the crowd on rival network morning show Sunrise (2000), waving placards in support of his new friend.
- His son, Jye,'s godfather is Rove McManus.
