Fans were shocked by Gayle King’s uncensored moment.
During Thursday’s episode of “CBS Mornings,” Matteo Lane, an openly gay comedian, appeared on the show, which promoted the host, 70, to repeat a joke he used in his routine.
“Let’s talk about the stand-up [special]. Can I just say one joke? I hope I don’t get in trouble,” King said. “You do a riff about white women who approached you, and they said something about cooking, and you said, ‘What in the f—-try are you talking about?’”
The gay slur made the comic, 38, crack up, as he covered his mouth to suppress his laughter. King inquired: “I thought that was hilarious. What does that mean?”
Lane replied. “I love you, Gayle King.”
“It means exactly what you think it means. White women, they’re fine during the day, but they have one sip of a rosé and they’re like, ‘Tonight’s about me!’ They won’t stop, I’m telling you. Horrible.”
The Post has reached out to CBS for comment.
After the exchange, viewers took to social media to share their reaction to the moment.
“I had to watch this at least 6 times,” one user said on X. “like did she really say that????” while a second added, “Gayle King saying f*gg*t on daytime television in 2025 what timeline are we living in,” alongside a clip from the show.
Another viewer chimed in, “Not okay with @GayleKing using the f-slur in her interview with #MatteoLane on @cbs. That word has a very dark history for gay men. The fact it was used so casually and laughed at on morning TV, even if she was quoting his standup, is really depressing.”
Rounding out the disbelief, a third fan responded: “Did Gayle King just say that out loud on National TV!!!!!! I’m GAGGED! Literally jaw dropped!”
After the live episode, CBS removed the slur from all of their social platforms, but Lane did post a censored version of the show on his Instagram.
King and Lane have yet to address her remarks.
During the episode, the duo also spoke about Lane’s new cookbook, “Your Pasta Sucks”
“You embrace being gay and your homosexuality,” King admired of her guest.
“And I’m wondering — where did this come from?” the journalist asked. “The funniness that you were able to combine with cooking and your stand-up, too?”
Lane revealed he comes from “a large family where you have to have something funny to say or be opinionated, so you have to speak up.”
He noted it “felt very natural” for him to combine his love for comedy and cooking.
