Is Chris Licht Trying to Land Gayle King?

Puck’s Dylan Byers is out with a story that says that CNN boss Chris Licht may be trying to bring CBS Morning News host Gayle King over to CNN to host a prime-time show.

Beyers says that the CNN prime time interview show would still allow her to host ‘CBS Mornings.’

But here’s the question I have.

I think Gayle King is solid in her job, but she would not be a huge “get” for CNN. Like it or not, Gayle King is still best known for being the best friend of Oprah Winfrey.

CBS Morning News sits in last place behind ABC and NBC.

Landing Gayle King would not be the worst thing, but if Licht thinks she would be an instant ratings fix, he’s off the mark.

Now, if he could land Oprah…..now you’re talking.

Just saying….
