Fox News host apologizes for mistaking Gayle King for Robin Roberts
-
Jesse Watters made the mistake on The Five while discussing King's CBS This Morning interview with R. Kelly. “Hats off to Gayle King for totally redeeming herself after the (Jussie) Smollett fiasco," Watters said. Co-host Dana Perino quickly corrected him, pointing out that Roberts conducted the Smollett interview on Good Morning America. “Oh I knew that... Sorry for Robin Roberts out there, I apologize," said Watters. In a later segment, Watters wrote “I'm sorry Gayle & Robin" on a white board.
