Gail King-Degree in Psychology to immediate News Production Assistant?

1.Age 6-11 lived in Turkey because due to her dad's career as an "electronics engineer for the federal government." (grew up with no tv)

1. Graduated U.of Md. with a degree in psychology…(no media studies)

3.According to WIKI "King's career started as a production assistant at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, where she met Oprah Winfrey, an anchor for the station at the time. (Wow she started off as a production assistant right out of the gate)

4.Thrive Global reported that Gayle King doesn't get home until after midnight most nights. Then, every morning, "she has two alarms — one at 3:22 a.m. and the other at 3:45 a.m." Why? Because King loves to watch the morning news at the ungodly hour of 3:30 a.m.(4a.m. talking points?)

5.Gail and Oprah. They were complete strangers up until they became coworkers at a Baltimore television station in the 1980s. Since then, they've proven their loyalty to one another and have gone on to intertwine their personal and professional lives, with King acting as the editor-at-large for Winfrey's O, the Oprah Magazine, and Winfrey snagging the title of godmother to both of King's children, William and Kirby.

6.In the past, there were nights she made it home at a reasonable hour, but King would stay up chatting on the phone with her best friend, Oprah Winfrey. The New York Times reported the besties "used to talk four or five times a day."

7.Despite Rose being booted from the network and his reputation tarnished, King never condemned him.

8.She got to go on the Geffen yacht with the Obamas and other celebs
