If you live on Planet Earth -- you know that Gayle King is Oprah's best friend.
Oprah is ALWAYS GIVES GAYLE a job. Really...she used to do interviews for Oprah's show. Then she had her own failed talk show (produced by HARPO). Oprah made her the editor of "O" magazine. And also produced a radio talk show. Then, when Oprah started up her own television network -- Gayle, of course, got another talk show on the OWN network.
That's all fine with me. Gayle is a wonderful friend -- Oprah trusts her -- she's funny and articulate and Oprah enjoys having her around. And people should take care of their friends.
"Oprah giving a job to Gayle" seemed like a nice situation for everybody...and who are we kidding? It's been going on for most of Gayle's adult life...
So it was puzzling when Gayle quit her OWN show -- to accept the CBS offer to be one of the anchors for their REWORKED CBS morning show.
Really, Gayle??
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
OH MY GOD...CBS?? This can't be good...
I fear for you, babe...
Of course -- I am a devoted "TODAY" show fan. I like the pace of the show...Matt and Al...I'm missing Meredith...but then again, I got over the Katie Couric thing....
I wanted to watch Gayle. So did my friend Valerie. We were curious. The CBS morning show does terrible in the ratings....now they have Gayle King, Charlie Rose and a third nameless brunette...
After a couple of days of making it our "B" show -- Val said it best...
"When I switch from the TODAY show over to the CBS show -- it's like going from color to black and white..."
Val is soooo right...(a girl can never hear that too much!)
But -- here's the big question. When the CBS morning show is canceled -- is Oprah going to give Gayle yet another job??
I'm just sayin'....
