What is the four-letter word Gayle King loves that a man says?
Media Queen Gayle King takes us through journey from production assistant to CBS Morning Co host, bond with Oprah, dishes on Jay Z, Taylor Swift, R Kelly and life after divorce, being a single mom while sustaining a career that has her atop the media and entertainment world as one of the most respected and accomplished journalists. Having fun with the guys- Gayle lets her guard down and shares what she looks for in a man and partner as she navigates the current dating world.
Ryan, Channing and Fred sat down with the CBS “This Morning” host to talk about her journey from childhood to a career in journalism and the relationships cultivated along the way.
Not many people have established themselves as a mainstay in the ever-evolving world of journalism like Gayle King has by accomplishing so much in a competitive and sometimes, unforgiving field. The long-time TV personality has a resume that includes dozens of A-list conversations, intriguing stories, unprecedented access and an even more impactful life as a mother, which she credits as her greatest role.
Going back to where it all started as a young aspiring female, Gayle King began her career as a production assistant in Baltimore when she met anchor Oprah Winfrey. Since that one snowy night, Gayle formed an unbreakable bond with Oprah and their tight-knit friendship has been surviving and thriving and for nearly 4 decades. Gayle shares a funny story about her and Oprah while describing their connection.
From Jay-Z to R. Kelly to Blake Shelton, Gayle has had a diverse array of guests she’s interviewed, and she discusses her approach when there are intense moments. In particular she describes the emotions and intentions around the lightening rod of a conversation with R Kelly as he was facing serious allegations and jail time. As Gayle speaks, she instills wisdom on the state of journalism today, mentioning that taking time to understand people goes a long way.
While her personal life is under the microscope a lot, Gayle opens up on life after her divorce and her ability to find a work life blend while being a single mother with a demanding career. Gayle touches on her current her dating history sharing a personal story of a recent encounter gone wrong while candidly speaking on what she wants in a guy, which catches Ryan, Channing and Fred off guard but creates nonstop laughter amongst the group.
New episodes drop on Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET and Fridays at 3:30 p.m ET on YouTube, with audio available on all streaming platforms including Apple, Spotify and Amazon.

No one has brought this side of Gayle out in an interview. She's even more relatable. Great job guys!
-
No matter how you feel about Gayle, this is MAJOR for the Pivot. Keep bringing the great guest!
-
Loved when Gayle shared the story about what Maya Angelou told her when she was complaining to her about something at work. She said "Whining is so unbecoming. It lets them know there's a victim in the neighborhood." That's some serious wisdom. Let that sink in. 😊❤🔥
-
Another top-level guest. Gayle walked past me and my wife when we were in Midtown, NYC, on vacation in 2022. No bodyguard, just Gayle, the class act, in her yellow dress.
-
I have a new found respect for Gayle! She is such a class act and down to Earth woman who's almost 70yrs. Unbelievable!
-
I like Gayle’s personality. This podcast pulled out a different side of her. Black men’s swag are unmatched. I bet even Michelle Obama can relate! Yes. Proper grammar is EVERYTHING!

Man one of the BEST shows all 3 of y’all showed your Cougar Crush mentality yet humble enough to respect the Queen of the Black woman! She showed such a down to earth personality like she is everybody favorite Auntie! Salute to another dynamic performance

When she said there’s just “something about a black man” I felt that. And the swag and versatility that comes with it😍 She had me laughing with the pick up lines. I think I might try “I can change yo life” and see what happens🤔😄
-
I am so impressed with this interview. It is not getting the traction it deserves. I have not seen her be so personable before. I truly enjoy the interview and engagement. Gayle is going to have guys test out their "motherf*****" in the mirror. 😂
