CNN nearing deal to sign Gayle King to host primetime show

CNN is closing in on a deal that would bring broadcaster Gayle King to the network to host a show in prime time, according to multiple reports.

King, 68, has served as a co-host of “CBS Mornings” for more than a decade and is reportedly in talks with CNN president Chris Licht about a weekly show that would debut this fall.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday the network is also in talks with basketball analyst Charles Barkley to appear on a show with King, citing people familiar with the conversations.

King’s duties with CBS are not expected to change, the Journal reported.

Licht took over at CNN last May and has implemented a number of programming and personnel changes as he looks to rehabilitate the company’s brand after a scandal that saw its top host and former president ousted, and rectify the network’s comparatively sluggish ratings.

Gayle King, journalist

Which was rather appropriate.

Considering that “Idiocracy” became reality from 2008 to 2016.

Gayle is just okay as an interviewer, but she is seen as a proven and ‘safe’ host, checking most every box.
She tends to dress like the First Lady, mostly bland but occassionally garish for a 68 y/o.
