"It was a meeting of two networks at 30,000 feet recently, when CBS's Gayle King found herself seated next to Fox News's Jesse Watters on a cross-country flight. The CBS Mornings host posted to Instagram Monday: Two TV people from competing networks walk on to a plane and to the surprise of them both, they're seated right next to each other for over four hours. How did it go? Speaking for @jessewatters here: A good time was had by all!"
"King and Watters have a little bit of history dating from 2019. That's when Watters mixed up King with Good Morning America host Robin Roberts. On an episode of The Five, Watters tried to give King credit for her revealing interview with singer R. Kelly, who stood accused of sex trafficking. Kelly was later convicted and sentenced to 30 years. Watters said on the show, Hats off to Gayle King for totally redeeming herself after the [Jussie] Smollett fiasco."
Gayle King and Jesse Watters were seated next to each other on a cross-country flight, spending over four hours together. King posted about the encounter on Instagram, noting the unexpected seating and lighthearted interaction. Viewers commented on civility and the interesting nature of the long flight. King and Watters share a 2019 history when Watters mistakenly credited King for Robin Roberts's interview and later apologized on air, even holding a sign reading 'I'm sorry Gayle + Robin.' New CBS News president Bari Weiss is reportedly considering changes, and King's sizable contract, worth roughly $13–$15 million annually, expires at the end of May, leaving her future uncertain.
