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 KZhead, 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!
It's what they do. The Best in the game
She's like this on CBS mornings and it's refreshing
This is true because I was like why they got her own here but I was pleasantly surprised.
I mean I've seen this side b4
So relatable when she dragged Kobe after he died, shame shame.
No matter how you feel about Gayle, this is MAJOR for the Pivot. Keep bringing the great guest!
Two things can be true at the same time.
Unfortunately, not the kind of major I’m interested in. Happy for them. Sad I gotta find a new show to watch.
@@FaceOnBroadwayNot liking one episode shouldn’t change your heart about them. If so, you don’t carry the grace needed to be a real supporter. 💕
@@_forevergrateful1With this one here it does
very mature comment ... because gayle is 👎!
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.
That was a great interview fellas 👏🏽 keep up the good work.
She's a foul person had those parents on her show telling lies when the truth is in the court transcripts that the mother was texting RSK pretending to be her 18yr old daughter who was really 17 and she didn't have them back the same way the lied on her show she should have called them out on the text messages but she just went along with the BS also her boyfriend Micheal Avanotti who is now in prison gave the government a fake tape of RSK they lied to the world and it's sad that it's ok with people
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. 😊❤🔥
Love it
Serious….DEEP RIH MAYA
❤ Maya Angelou. Rest in peace 🕊️
Im getting that tattooed
I have a new found respect for Gayle! She is such a class act and down to Earth woman who's almost 70yrs. Unbelievable!
70!? She looking good good! Shid wdup Gayle we can make this work 😂😂😂
Ask her about her lawyer boyfriend who's now in prison the same boyfriend that gave the Chicago DA a fake tape of R Kelly this lady is full of it her and okra but these are the people y'all look up to she had those lying parents on and when the proof comes out that they lied she hasn't said anything anything she's needs to keep the same energy she had while letting them lie have them back on and address the text messages from the mother to R Kelly she won't do that because she was part of the take down
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!
Yes and I love it too!✨
As a Black man, I AGREE WITH THAT MESSAGE
RC , FreddyT, Channing. Yall knocked this one out the park once again. Tremendous interview with the talented Gayle King. I did not know she was that funny. Dope sense of humor.
That was the best thing that came out of this interview
Agreed. She's great.
She actually very chill to listen to. Great Job Pivot!
OMG Freddy T’s eyes and enthusiasm say it all. It’s love!
SWEAR I’ve been scrolling for THIS comment😂
And i’m trini too! 😂
YES!!! She Feeling Him Too!!!!😉
He’s probably practicing his thug-life vocab as we speak! @@jacquelinewarren4395
Freddy T is probably practicing his thug-life vocab as we speak 😆.@@jacquelinewarren4395
I love this interview with Gayle, it shows another side of her and she seems more relatable 🤎
Mannnnn...my wheels started turning when she said that Vitamin U line
Vitamin D 😅😊
I didn't think that I would enjoy this interview as much as I did!!! Gayle is wonderful! I would love being around her!
Living in a world where women including single mothers are so deeply obsessed with EQUALITY and expect for other men to financially help them out with other men's (Pookie and Ray-Ray) kids and still expect for the men that they expect such help from to feel the same about them seeing Gayle say that she didnt feel the same about the guy she helped out didnt sit well with me, because the sisterhood is very big asking men to "step up" and help women out all while being reluctant to offer the same type of help that they demand/expect. So I ask myself where is the equality that women so desperately want and are obssessed with in these types of situations?
Also another problem I have with strong and independent feminist type black women in media like Gayle King and Oprah is that they are real quick to call out the black deadbeat fathers while also trying to throw shade at the Lavar Balls of the world for making sure that ALL three of kids were and are SUCCESFUL. Its like as a man you are shamed if you do and you are shamed if you don't you can never win with these women, so no she didn't fool me, I see right thru her.
😂 Gayle ain't one of those types of women. She even respected her ex husbands request to not move so he could still see his children. 😊
@@izealliaeldridge1901 so Gayle is not the type to ask men to step up and be step dads?
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
Y’all done made me slide in Gayle dm’s like let me take you to the best mafuckin restaurant I can afford baby 😂😂😂😂
Hilariousssssss😂😂😂
😂😅
Just don't order "skrimp" scampi! 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
This was such a treat! I enjoyed every minute of it. I can see why she’s Oprah’s BFF. After this one, I feel like she’s mine too!
💕💕💕💕
I’ve never watched CBS This Morning but will definitely start watching because of this interview. Gayle is absolutely awesome❤. Thanks,guys❤!
34:04 These sports notes are taking me out!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
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. 😂
Was great!!! I have already tested “baby” 😬😬
@@mikehinson5935 It is a proven theory in the works. 👏🏾
@@ericahenry2900😬👍🏽
She is fake and Evil
Before this interview I didn’t know much about her other than public stuff but now I love Miss Gayle King. Great interview Pivot.💙
Dang. Whole new respect for Gayle. Lovely person.
Especially 2 find out she checked on R.Kelly afterwards.while some ppl were tripping on her, what ppl didn't know he appreciate her 2 allow him 2 vent 4 that moment.

This was an awesome interview. I grew up watching Gayle in Connecticut on WFSB. This interview made me see her in a much better light. She used to fumble her words back then. She seems so down to earth. I will watch her and Charles Barkley. Thanks for this interview.
Same here! I grew up in Bloomfield during the time that Gayle was on Channel 3.
I grew up in Springfield but always watched her too. This interviews hits different! To see her growth is amazing!
I love and admire the variety of guests you bring on weekly. Keep it going y’all 🙏🏾🙏🏾
These dudes really are interviewing a legend..Gayle King!!!!!...its amazing to see the Pivot have no boundaries of whom they speak with 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
She is evil
I really liked this interview with Gayle. I love how open she was.
Best interview yet... Gayle is the absolute sweetest, best friend ever 💕💕💕. Lmao...size does matter... Gayle said it❣️
Loved this interview with Gayle King. Learned info I never knew. Good questions Ryan, Fred & Channing.... felt like I was sitting in the dining room overhearing a great conversation between friends and family. Great Job! Gayle Keep being you, when you ask the questions its what "WE" want to know. Thank You!
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 loved this interview. Gayle is a great conversationalist and interviewer (of course). She’s unapologetically herself no matter where she is and who she talks with. Great show guys!
Great interview!!! Relaxed, funny, provocative. Been watching Gayle King for years and glad she opened up, shared and shined. More in 2024 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I LOVED this interview. Her relatability is awesome. Dope job fellas!
Thank you The Pivot. For choosing to step out of a box that fans may attempt to put you in. Showing how you can make millions of people who didn’t fully understand an individual the grace to accept her in another light. You men are talented beyond understanding. Love it! ❤️
This interview with Gayle King was one of the best interviews to me. It was very transparent, informative and funny. You guys keep doing your thing on the Pivot 💯
Not gonna lie , love her or hate her that was a great interview but should we be surprised? Its the Pivot 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The Pivot is here to do interviews with all walks of life, whether good or bad, in the public's eye. I may not agree with some of the things she has done, but it does not take away from the journalist that she is. I will stand behind the Pivot, no matter who they have on.
AMEN!!!
If u don't mind sharing what has she done that you didn't agree with.
What has she done? I love Gayle..maybe I missed something ?
I was wondering that too??? what exactly has she done? I think she is pretty authentic! I love her in the morning!
You guys are rolling. The diversity of guests on the pivot is incredible! Gayle is the creme de la creme... can't wait to see who's next🙏🏾✌🏾♥️💪🏾🛡️
Hands down my favorite interview on The Pivot- thank you !
I LOVE that you all called her Ms Gayle. You guys are top notch. Well done. 👏🏽👏🏽
GAYLE continue to be your authentic self. GOD will send you your Man soon. He will honor your achievements and never be intimidated by your life.
This the best interview. Hats off to the whole team!
I loved this interview! Gayle is not only a good journalist, but a good interview subject as well. This was fun to watch. Great job, guys!
Wow!!! Great job fellas!! You guys have such a way of making the guests feel comfortable and allowing them to display a side of themselves that we don’t normally see. That’s exactly why I LOVE this podcast!!! 💯💯💯💯
Gayle wasn’t gone be uncomfortable either way. She’s the journalist. She reads books and people for a living lol …and takes backlash in stride. But I do think they all played a role in harmony. It was natural and enjoyable.
Wow, great interview. I could listen to her talk for days. 69, Gayle holding it down.
Yea it didn't seem like a hour.Heck I kept repeating certain parts especially when they were talking about the guy penis😂😂
If you are a Gayle fan this interview is not a surprise! Good job Pivot! ❤
Yes. Used to listen to her on her original podcast back in the day. She's an around the way girl who has money and fame.
Shout out to Auntie Gayle! I refuse to believe she will be 70 this year. "Size does matter!" 😂
Gayle seems very down to earth 🌎. Thanks for this interview
Great ìnterview
With so much hate in our world today, as mentioned during the episode. Thinking and posting positive in any platform is all we can truly do🙏🏾🙇🏾🌹
Have always been borderline on whether I was a Gayle King fan over the years.... seeing this interview, I will say I am a fan of hers for being down to earth and letting her hair down with all the topics of discussion...great interview!
I’m so late! But I’m so happy I got to see this side of Gayle! She’s definitely the auntie you want to go shopping with or call to come hang out at the house. Love this side of her. ❤
This woman is GORGEOUS🤩
I have a new respect for Gayle after this interview.
When she said may the steelers rest in peace. I lost it. 😅😅😅
Wow!!! Awesome Gayle never changes. Bravo to you all. My first time with the Pivot. Looking forward to the next one! Thanks again, Gayle. It is clear why her and Oprah are sister- friends! Blessings to you all!
She shooting her shot at Fred 👀?
I thought the SAME thing!! lol
Okay!! Happy someone said it because I know game when I see it! Lol
This was the 1st time I've seen Gayle King interviewed. And I see her temperament & Personality. Definitely the Cool Well Travled Auntie vibe. And you can tell she is enjoying sitting with the Pivot Crew.
You guys are stepping into a different dimension with these wow is all I can say, keep up the good job
I really enjoyed this. Auntie Gayle looks AMAZING
Love how the guys show respect to Gayle and at the same time show humor and get her to feel relaxed. Well done!
Didn't think I would like this interview. But another great show 🔥🔥🔥
I agree it was also funny 2 me.This interview flow well
Great job guys. I felt like I was at a party overhearing a good conversation. Gayle is the very best interviewee.
Gayle brought me here. I’d never even heard of The Pivot, but I’m a subscriber now! These guys are great.
Love seeing this side of her. I watched it twice ❤
One of the best interviews yet! Hope to see you guys do more of these! Well done
Absolutely delightful! I love Gayle and to see her with 'my' guys was such a plus! My fave podcast! Thank you!
I wish you guys would have asked her about the interview she did with Sheila Johnson, the owner of the WNBA Washington Mystics and the Salamander Resort Hotel Chain. She's the first black female billionaire who confounded BET alongside her ex-husband Bob Johnson.
Thank you for Everything The Pivot Podcast and its Amazing Team!!!!!!!
Gayle is a gem! She just seems like a wonderful human!
This was amazing!!! Y’all never cease to amaze me. You really created a space for Gayle to share yourself with us. Super grateful. 😍
That was the real deal interview; if you didnt know anything abt Gayle now you do... Yall did a great job!!
OK, so I'm only 5 minutes into this, but it is nice to see Gayle celebrating with black men.
Ahhhhhhhhhh..just like that ☄️💥BOOM..YALL DROP THE BOMB ON ME 👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽🎵🎶👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽THE PIVOT delivered with this interview...because CHAN, RC and FRED asked the questions the 🌎 wanted to ask..lol😂😂😂 I vote as being a loyal watcher..that we get that jacket that RC is rocking 🔥🔥🔥🔥keep it coming fellas!!!🏆🏆🏆👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽
I totally agree with Gayle ,most people judge you and don't know you.. Again ,we can't be loved ny every one and that should not stop you from living your dream. From this interview she is so down to earth lady and ❤her confidence and she looks stunning at her age .Great fun from Kenya 🇰🇪
Love love love this episode! Love the diversity! Keep’em coming!
I am so proud of how this show has grown.
Loved this episode! Gayle is class personified, and the Pivot is unlike any other "sports" Podcast where you can go from having a country artist, to Gayle King and everyone else. And Channing's story was absolutley hilarious! I'm bi-racial too, and worked as a ball boy for an NBA team as a teenager, let's just say, I was traumitiezed, lol, just kidding, but funny story and I love how this is so insightful for life as well as having a comedica element too at times, ala Channing! Thank you guys!
Now this is how you start the year! 🎉🎉🎉
Her grandma's statement is wild...Gayle is beautiful
I personally have never seen a photo of her younger years, but maybe a glowup
Make up, wigs, shape wear... all go a long way in helping women look and feel more attractive. Even besides that, body dysmorphia is a real thing. Even attractive people think that they're ugly many times. It's a strange thing. Best not to care and live your life from the inside out. Spirit always trumps matter.
This was AWESOME! Gayle is such a down to earth and engaging person. I really enjoyed this sit down. Great job!
This was awesome. Watching you guys from Canada 🇨🇦 Great interview 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great interview, guys. I really enjoy the different guests that you all bring on. Keep up the great work!!!
Firstly, I am hoping that Gayle King has an Oprah Winfrey “Ah Ha” light bulb moment and realize that she needs a younger man as her mate. Though she is in a season of maturity, Gayle exudes youthful energy, and embodies ageless beauty and brains. Secondly, as a small town newspaper journalist in my first profession, I have great admiration and respect for these two young black men. Feeling like a proud auntie, I celebrate this milestone, interviewing the iconic Gayle King, and doing it in such a down-to-earth yet respectful manner. Thanks for not allowing her legendary status to intimidate you and impede your ability to dig deeply and unearth the multiple layers of Gayle King, the GOAT of today’s journalism.

You guys did it again! Great Interview. Ms Gayle King is so down to earth. She is the best!
Gayle the QUEEN! She is so young at heart. I really enjoyed her energy. I did not know Channing was mixed.
"Cinnamon Brown with a dollop of Caramel " ~Gayle King 😄

I really enjoyed this!! Bravo Pivot!!
This interview changed how I view Gayle quite a bit
Great interview guys. Never knew Gayle could be so likable.
Pivot crew. This was awesome. It brought a different perspective to your show. In my opinion I believe you three superstars are doing a fantastic job with this project “The Pivot”. Keep rowing gentleman. The Pivot is my favorite show!
Yall are killing the game! This was 🔥
