CBS’s Gayle King Under Fire For Using The F-Word (No, The Other One) Live On Air

Go to Article

Well folks, CBS’s Gayle King is under fire for using the “F-Word” live on the air on her morning show recently.

No, not the one that rhymes with “duck”….the one the rhymes with, ummm, “maggot”.

King was quoting a comedian’s act to the comedian himself who was a guest on the show, and right before she quotes him she says “I sure hope I’m not gonna get in trouble for this…”

The NY Post had more details on the event:

Fans were shocked by Gayle King’s uncensored moment.

During Thursday’s episode of “CBS Mornings,” Matteo Lane, an openly gay comedian, appeared on the show, which promoted the host, 70, to repeat a joke he used in his routine.

“Let’s talk about the stand-up [special]. Can I just say one joke? I hope I don’t get in trouble,” King said. “You do a riff about white women who approached you, and they said something about cooking, and you said, ‘What in the f—-try are you talking about?’”

The gay slur made the comic, 38, crack up, as he covered his mouth to suppress his laughter. King inquired: “I thought that was hilarious. What does that mean?”

Lane replied. “I love you, Gayle King.”

“It means exactly what you think it means. White women, they’re fine during the day, but they have one sip of a rosé and they’re like, ‘Tonight’s about me!’ They won’t stop, I’m telling you. Horrible.”
