Gayle to Replace Maddow? Clutch Your Pearls DL Queens!

Heavily injected bewigged as on MSNBC?

NO FUCKING WAY!

THAT'S ME!

I BROKE THAT FUCKING BITCHES'S ASS, SO GO THE FUCK AWAY, CUNT!!!!!

What exactly are her journalist credentials?

Wouldn't Maddow's job be a step down? It's cable, probably pays less.

R3 Doesn’t she have to get up at some ungodly hour each morning, anything with an evening taping is a step up I’d say.

How do women who rely on wigs and fake hair get along in real life? It's not as though they have Carrie Bradshaw hair, but they all pretend extensive tresses beforehand.

Funny thing about Gayle. She hasn't had a boyfriend or husband in almost 30 years. I wonder why?

Is this a joke?

Oh well MSNBC gave up journalism years ago.

Her PR team is doing a crappy job of creating buzz as she renegotiates without Susan Zirinsky there to protect her job. None of the scenarios they describe would fly. Gayle with Hoda on the Today Show would not be “the most formidable duo on TV."

Sounds like Gayle may soon be doing celeb interviews for 60 Minutes--well, 2 interviews and then she'll drift away and we'll do a WHET Gayle King, here.

I'm sure replacing a butchy lesbian intellectual with a heavily bewigged other great friend of Oprah will hold out well.

[quote]What exactly are her journalist credentials?

Actually, they're good. She worked her way up from small local stations before she met the whale.

I still hate her.

I love Gayle. She is the only reason I watch CBS Mornings---though Nate is a hot edition..I love how NBC Today Show is FINALLY willing to get rid of Dim Bulb Savannah Guthrie...She must be thrilled to know NBC is talking about kicking her to the curb for Gayle.

Has there ever been a person in the limelight that had no identity of herself. Everything she does revolves around Oprah. Even this article has to mention Oprah. I tuned into CBS once to see and guess what, that day was Oprah's book club. She was on Drew Barrymore to talk about her anniversary and they did one whole segment on Oprah's favorite things. Ah well, pays the rent.

Oh for fucks sake, if they are going to replace someone like Maddow who at least started out with doctorate in political science from Oxford with a friend of Oprah, they might as well just go with one of the Kardashian.

Be honest, if you are going to make the argument that Gayle doesn't need a real background in politics because she bring in Oprah's followers, then Kim Kardashian is just as viable. Dont try to sell us some horse shit about Gayle's "life experience" being any more qualified.

Let's see what's Gayle only qualification....oh right, she's black. That's all that matters now.

MSNBC = Black, Black, Black, White, Black, White, Black = No Fats, No Fems, No Asians.

Compared to the others Oprah has forced upon the public (Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz), King is a fucking saint.

I hate that fucking ABCDEFU song.

Will it still be called the Rachel Maddow Show, but hosted by Gayle? Will Rachel maintain executive producer credit for it?

Rachel has the farthest reach she will likely ever have right now with her show.

Unless she's simply tired of the grind of doing a daily show, so is holding out for a ton of money, she go the way of so many other tv journalists who left their shows because they believed their own hype.

How about she replace Joy Reid with a co-host?

I think one of the gals from the View or the Talk should take over the Rachel Show.

How about Rosie O'Donnell for the Madow show? I need some of her insanity at 9PM.

R21 Can she broadcast live from her cruise ships?

Gayle King is 67 years old. I realize black don't crack but could she anchor something more serious than morning TV?

Is she smart enough for that job?

Gayle is the most disliked figure in journalism, rightfully. I cringe when she opens her mouth.

R24 No.

Tony Dokoupil (?) Is a FINE man, very sexy, masculine, hairy, looks so damn good in his form fitting suits, a nice head of hair, strong expressive hands, I like that his body language speaks volumes to me, very expressive face, he's my sexual ideal and I enjoy waking up with him in the morning, and telling me all the news. I know he's happily married, straight and adorably Jewish, and he makes my heart go pitter-patter. He's dreamy. :-)

GAYle King will never leave the Colored People's Broadcasting System. She sees herself as moving into a regular spot on 60 Minutes and then eventually anchoring the Evening News.....

Sad day for real journalism.

Gayle is a real journalist. Look it up.

[quote] Is she smart enough for that job?

Gayle can’t replace a lightbulb.

r29 lol

She is proof of the significance of luck, timing and very good friends.

Tony Dokoupil would be better if he didn't have a speech impediment. He sticks his uppers into the lower lip when saying a word with an "S" Matt Lauer did it too, but Laurer had big rabbit teeth. When Tony does it, it looks like he has NO teeth.

R11 is Gayle's PR frau.

[quote] What exactly are her journalist credentials?

She's a black woman and a queen!

MSNBC is the new BET.

They want ratings, they'll call it "Oprah's Best Friend"

I suppose Gayle is every bit as capable of waving a single page of a single tax return and proclaiming she has Trump by the balls, much like Maddow did, much to the delight of Trump and Republicans.

That was definitely not one of Rachel's finest moments, R38. I remember watching and being embarrassed for her.

And now back Gayle King-Winfrey...

[quote]I suppose Gayle is every bit as capable of waving a single page of a single tax return and proclaiming she has Trump by the balls, much like Maddow did, much to the delight of Trump and Republicans.

Still not letting that moment go are we?

Now call her Rachel Madcow!

You can always tell a p.r. shill when they attempt to include everyone in their promotion. It gushes about “our fave” Gayle just like it continually referred to SJP as “our girl” when pushing AJLT…

It was a stupid, idiotic and completely irrational thing to do (even by the loosey goosey standards of cable news, R40, and anyone and everyone associated with the decision to run with it should have had their asses handed to them.

If there had been an adult in charge, all they would have had to do was consult any junior year accounting student to see what a stupid move this was to make. Worse, it only added fuel to Trump's lame ass "fake news" fire.

King's career began as a production assistant at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, where she met Oprah Winfrey, an anchor for the station at the time. King later trained as a reporter at WUSA-TV in Washington, D.C.[7][8] After working at WJZ, she moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where she was a weekend anchor and general-assignment reporter at WDAF-TV.[9] In 1981, she was hired as a news anchor for WFSB in Hartford, Connecticut, where she worked for 18 years.[8] Part of that time, she lived in Glastonbury, Connecticut.[7]

The article was exaggerating a bit. I agree it’s probably to drum up hype.

The article says she may consider moving to LA where the hours could be more favorable. But I disagree, she’s an older lady so waking up early is fine by her.

I think they’ll give her a decent raise and she’ll stay right where she is. Giving her segments on 60 minutes could be included as a sort of promotion (because what kind of “journalist” is AC?).

I’m a fan. A friend of Oprah’s who has maintained her professionalism and took the privilege seriously. Compared to someone like Dr. Oz or Dr. Phil or other loonies Oprah has offered up.

OMG I had to stop watching CBS in the am because Gayle is insufferable! Oh well MSNBC if she’ comes on board it was nice knowing you.

Gayle King? If you are going to sink that low, then just go with Trump's female Uncle Tom Ms. Amarosa! At least she would be a more entertaining train wreck, You point is ratings right? Jerry Springer that show! Gayle is BOOOOORING.

The author of OP's article has also had the following articles recently

[quote] Khloé Kardashian 'taking the high road' after Tristan Thompson apology

[quote] Kanye West 'still pursuing' Kim Kardashian amid Julia Fox romance

[quote] Kim Kardashian ‘doubling down that she’s single’ as Kanye hangs with Vinetria

I wouldn't put much into this this authors musings.

O & Gayle need to create a show where they travel all over the globe looking for adventure.

Thanks for posting your resume Gayle AKA R43. Unfortunately it's very lackluster compared to today's talent. We will keep your resume in the round file should an opening match your skill set.

10 years ago Ms. King couldn't even get invited to the opening of an envelope. She was a joke - known exclusively as Oprah's best friend. Someone threw her a bone and put her on The Early Show on CBS. When she first started she only appeared in hour 2 of the program because hour 1 was devoted to hard-hitting news and discussion which Gayle was not seen as a great fit for.

Now a decade later she somehow became the Queen of CBS News with all the networks fighting for her services.

I can't stand her. I can't believe they got rid of Anthony Mason and kept her and those two young guys.

Who do they think the audience is for this show? The same crew that used to watch Oprah?

CBS pays her 9 million dollars a year!?!

She was unemployed throughout the 2000s except as a one-day a week radio host on Oprah's Sirus radio channel. Who you know really is the only thing that matters these days.

With those quadruple eyelashes, she could just fly the commute back-and-forth each evening.

[quote]I can't stand her. I can't believe they got rid of Anthony Mason

Anthony, you're 65+ and over the hill+. Posting here will not get you another job such as the Eleventh Hour on MSNBC.

MSBET

She;s a news reader. I'm sure her extensive exoerience as a reporter in a small markets has equipped her to cover fires and car crashes. She doesn't have Rachel's gravitas. Why would someone want to kill MSNBC? Oh, right. Thanks.

[quote] Gayle to Replace Maddow? Clutch Your Pearls DL Queens! MSBET

MSNBC airs what like 20 shows a daily mon - fri. Of those twenty, 2 of the hosts are black.

[quote] Who you know really is the only thing that matters these days.

That's always been true; except for in the past only white males benefitted from it.

Gayle signs new CBS contract, so no she isn't replacing Rachel.

Doesn’t CBS have some sort of contract with CNN, see Anderson Cooper? I’ve read that CNN has an interest in her for its 9:00 slot. “Gayle King Live” sounds right..

That's silly. She has nothing in common with Rachel Maddow. She would never do similar analyses. She's a news reader first and an interviewer second and a banterer third.

[quote] What exactly are her journalist credentials?

But she's not an imposter. She has bona fides despite benefiting from being Oprah's buddy. She's been a TV reporter in Missouri, Connecticut and Baltimore (where she met Oprah), just like any other TV reporter working up the ranks. She hosted an NBC talk show, she had her own failed talk show, she had an XM satellite talk show, and then Oprah gave her a show on OWN.

She has benefited from her ties to Oprah, but she worked independently in local TV for a long time before that. I don't think she deserves to be undermined since she put in the work.

[quote] Doesn’t CBS have some sort of contract with CNN, see Anderson Cooper?

I think it is just in Anderson's contract that he isn't exclusive with CNN, since no other CNN personalities appear on CBS,

Idk, R62, whenever CNN airs pre-1980 news footage, the source invariably seems to be CBS.

Whilst it is poss. Gayle got a leg up (if you'll excuse the pun) via Oprah. But I don't think she'd be where she is on nepotism alone. I think we could do what the RF is doing w/the Montecito Cabbage Patch Parents. Give Gayle enough rope and she'll hang herself. She's not stupid. She's not nearly as offensive as many airhead telly presenters. I don't watch TV, but I've seen Gayle online, and I can't find anything more offensive about her than anybody else who inhabits that vacuous big blank nothing.

She's a morning show host. Being depthless is part of the job description.

Gayle is one of Meghan Markle's mouthpieces.

Whatever journalistic credentials GK used to have, she dumped when she neglected to counter MM's passport claims when GK actually attended a baby shower for Harry's wife in NYC and was a witness to MM's presence out of the UK, which would have required a passport.

Journalist? Hardly.

Which moment of the day are you not thinking about Meghan Markle?

The only thing Gayle is good at is eating out Oprah's pussy.

I’m tired of maddow

These networks swap out cisgender talking heads like they're mass-produced auto parts.

[quote] I’m tired of maddow

The feeling is mutual.

Well said R56. I shall also add jo one can replace Maddow, they'll merely be taking her time slot. King is painfully mainstream, and wholly incapable of the political analysis and investigative reporting Maddow provides.
