Gayle King (born in Chevy Chase, Maryland) is editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine and is the best friend of Oprah Winfrey. She has previously worked as a television news anchor and talk show host. King was also instrumental in the planning and creation of the Legends Weekend.

King grew up in Bethesda, Maryland; her father was an electrical engineer and her mother was a homemaker. She graduated from the University of Maryland in 1976 with a degree in psychology. She is the divorced mother of two children. Her daughter, Kirby, 20, and her son, William, 19, are both college students. King currently lives in Greenwich, Connecticut.

In the August 2006 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Winfrey explained that "people sometimes misunderstand her close friendship with King" and that the two of them are not involved in a romantic relationship

She started her career as a production assistant at WJZ-TV in Baltimore and later WTOP-TV in Washington, D.C., where she also trained as a reporter. King then moved to Kansas City, Missouri where she was a reporter and weekend anchor at WDAF-TV. In 1981, she was hired as a news anchor for WFSB in Hartford, Connecticut, where she worked for 18 years. In 1991, King briefly cohosted an NBC daytime talk show with Robin Wagner called Cover to Cover until it was canceled. In 1997 she was offered her own syndicated talk show The Gayle King Show, which was later canceled due to low ratings. King joined O, The Oprah Magazine as an editor in 1999. She has also worked as a special correspondent for The Oprah Winfrey Show and Good Morning America. In September 2006, King began to co-host Oprah & Friends on XM Satellite Radio.

In May 2006, both Fox News and the New York Daily News reported that King may replace Star Jones Reynolds on the The View [2], [3]. King later denied these rumors in an interview with Access Hollywood.

As we now know, that replacement was Rosie.
