Gayle King fires back at Fox News' Jesse Watters for confusing her with Robin Roberts

The Daily Beast

“Were you happy to hear that Fox News’ Jesse Watters gave you props for this interview after that Jussie Smollett interview you did?” Stephen Colbert asked the CBS This Morning host on The Late Show. King said upon hearing about the mistake, she emailed Watters' The Five colleague Dana Perino to thank her for correcting him. “I said, ‘Hi, just wanted to thank you for letting your colleague know that Robin Roberts and I—it was a great compliment, but thank you for letting him know that we’re two different people,” King told Colbert. Then, she asked Perino, “Can you let the rest of your colleagues know that all black people don’t look alike?”
