CBS News Places Gayle King Front And Center In Revamp
Gayle King is an overnight sensation decades in the making.
CBS first hired the veteran local news anchor seven years ago and is now set to lean on her even more heavily.
At a time of scandals and ratings struggles for CBS, King has emerged with a hefty new contract at CBS News. She is now featured center stage of a new team for the re-imagined CBS This Morning, which made its debut this week. And she is to play an even more central role for the network's news division.
"My advice is always the same to everybody: Just go on and be yourself," King says in "The audience can always tell if you're faking it. I don't like that fake happy talk banter that I see some people do. If you don't have anything to say about something you don't have to speak."
