Gayle King Responds to Donald Trump Saying Her ‘Career Is Over’

Gayle King isn’t letting Donald Trump‘s recent comments about her get to her head.

Earlier this week, Trump reacted to a recent report alleging that King’s future on CBS is uncertain. “Gayle King’s career is over. She should have stayed with her belief in TRUMP. She never had the courage to do so,” he wrote via Truth Social on Monday, August 4. “No talent, no ratings, no strength!!!”

King was questioned about Trump’s criticism by TMZ after she wrapped CBS Mornings‘ Tuesday, August 5, episode. “I’m sorry he feels that way, but I like my job, [and will] continue to do my job,” she told the outlet as she got into her car.

King went on to quip that she’s joined a “long list of people” whom Trump has publicly criticized this year. “I’m in a group now with Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Stephen Colbert,” she stated. “I’m sorry he feels that way.”

The original New York Post report alleged that CBS may not renew King’s same multimillion-dollar contract extension when it ends in May 2026, the same month The Late Show With Stephen Colbert is set to end. Several sources claimed that King and executive producer Shawna Thomas’ push for diversity and inclusion on CBS Mornings has caused a decrease in viewership.

Per the report, Thomas allegedly ignored initiatives to make the show appeal to middle America and may have avoided getting fired because of King’s support for her.

“The audience doesn’t want woke. It doesn’t like progressive and provocative bookings,” an insider told the Post. “The morning show audience wants optimism and cheer and joy, and what they were producing is at odds with audience expectations.”

An anonymous producer added, “In these cases, you have to fire somebody. [Former CBS News president] Wendy McMahon was not strong enough. She needed a head on a stick, but Shawna had the protection of Gayle King.”

McMahon stepped down from her role at CBS News ahead of Paramount settling a $16 million lawsuit with Trump. He previously accused 60 Minutes of editing a 2024 interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. The settlement took place shortly before the Federal Communications Commission (led by the Trump appointee Brendan Carr) approved Paramount’s merger with the media company Skydance.

Amid speculation that The Late Show was canceled as a result of the media deals, Trump denied that he directly caused the cancellation. “Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true!” he wrote via Truth Social on July 29. “The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!”

He continued, “Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don’t, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.”

A video of Steve Harvey looking unrecognizable has sent shockwaves across social media, with many fans expressing alarm over his well-being. The clip has fueled countless rumors and speculations about his health, leading to a public outcry of support and concern.

‘Family Feud’ Host Steve Harvey Wows Fans With Healthier Look After Concerning Video

Steve Harvey got dressed to the nines to celebrate his wife Marjorie Harvey’s 60th birthday, and fans were taken aback by the Family Feud host’s winning, upgraded physique.

The deadpan expression-doling, survey-purveying game show frontman since 2010, Steve posed alongside Marjorie outside of a restaurant in an Instagram video he shared on Thursday (October 10). Both Harveys donned elegant formalwear, with Steve in an all-black suit (and signature shades) and Marjorie in a billowing white top over a cream-colored gown.

Steve lovingly gazed at his wife and gave her a smooch as the slow-motion upload came to a close. Steve looked noticeably slimmed down with a defined jawline as he smiled at a flashing camera nearby. “Happy 60th birthday baby,” he captioned the precious post for his 10.9 million followers.

Fans flooded the comments section, not needing a survey to express that the TV host —and his wife since 2007—looked happier and healthier than ever.

“They both look so slim and good, wow,” one fan wrote.

“My power couple looking good y’all!” gushed another.

“Looking amazing in that black Steve,” penned a third.

“Y’all look GOOD! Steve dropped those lbs! Sharp brother!” wrote a fourth.

On August 30, some fans were left concerned for Steve’s health. Marjorie shared an Instagram video of the pair walking along the beach during a sunkissed summer vacation while celebrating their 17th wedding anniversary. The waves splashed by their bare feet as the couple held hands by the water at sunset.

“These two love birds are living their best life,” one Instagram user gushed in the comments. Quite a few others, however, pointed out that Steve was walking very slowly in the video and seemed to be leaning on Marjorie for support.

“Walking ‍like an old man. Hit the gym bro,” one fan crassly wrote.

“Are they holding hands or she holding him up?” questioned another.

Others noticed that Steve was smoking a cigar in the upload, which didn’t help his cause with critics.

“This couple! But why is this man going into the ocean with a cigar. Let ur lungs breathe sir. Oxygen. Health is wealth,” wrote a third.

“Time to put those cigars away, Steve,” echoed a fourth.

That said, Steve has previously made it clear he’s not interested in fan advice about his health. In a viral video posted to his YouTube channel, he smoked a cigar in a beret while telling fans he pays no mind to criticism of his (apparently one and only) vice.

“Before you tell me what cigars do to your body, let me tell you what it do for me,” he said between puffs. “Because I gotta work from the time I wake up, I say I gotta have little moments in the day where I’m just doing what I wanna do. And a cigar is relaxing to me.”

“You take this from me…I don’t do drugs, I [don’t] eat cake, I got one woman. Something got to give,” he concluded, taking one last draw: “Cigars.”

After 43 Years, Vanna White Is Considering LEAVING ‘Wheel of Fortune’ — Fans Have Ideas on Who Can Replace America’s sweetheart on the beloved show

After 43 Years, Is Vanna White Considering Leaving ‘Wheel of Fortune’?

Vanna White has been America’s sweetheart on Wheel of Fortune since the 1980s. Fans have wondered if she’ll hang up her letter-turning role any time soon, especially in the wake of having a new host, Ryan Seacrest, enter the chat last season. In 2023, she secured a big contract for her first raise in 20 years, but it may not be long before she, too, bids adieu to the iconic game show.

Vanna White’s Current ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contract Ends in 2026

According to Forbes, for her first season without host Pat Sajak, White accepted a $10 million deal while only filming 34 days out of the year. She previously made $3 million, which was a fraction of what Sajak earned, as he reportedly made $15 million annually. Her contract lasts through the 2025-2026 season of Wheel of Fortune, but her future with the show after that remains uncertain. When Sajak hung up his hosting duties, White also considered walking away. She told Forbes that it was only natural considering she’d worked alongside him for so many years:

“I thought I would step away with Pat [in 2024]. My thought was, how am I going to continue working with a new person? It’s a scary thought to bring somebody new in. And then I thought to myself, Am I ready to retire? And the answer was, in my heart, no. I still love what I do.”

White also spoke about her staying power on the show, having the same role for over three decades. “As times change, so does fashion and hair and all that stuff,” she said, noting that being yourself is key. “But I’m still doing what I did the first day I started. I’m on TV as myself. I’m not playing another person. And I might not talk that much, but I’m hoping I can give a good feeling to people out there. That’s my whole reason for doing this job.”

Fans Have Ideas on Who Can Replace Vanna White on ‘Wheel of Fortune’

In case of White’s retirement, there’s one person at the top of the fans’ list who could take the gig: Sajak’s daughter, Maggie Sajak. The conversation began in a Reddit thread, with one user asking, “Whenever Vanna White retires, do you think Maggie Sajak will take her spot as letter toucher?” Maggie has worked as Wheel of Fortune’s social media correspondent since 2021 and stepped in as a substitute letter turner in the past. “Yeah, it’s been obvious for years that she is a textbook nepobaby,” a user added. Another chimed in, “That feels like the plan. It’s the only reason they keep shoving her in our faces.”

In 2024, White opened up about how her role as a letter turner has become nonexistent, so the job may change even more whenever she exits. “When I first started, I had to physically turn every letter,” she explained. “Then they switched to TV monitors, so I just had to touch the letters and they would light up. Now the board is operated by a laser. It’s like a flat screen. And when I go to touch the letter, the laser catches my movement. It’s crazy, right?” While the job may have changed dramatically, fans still love to watch Vanna White on their screens every week — the question that remains is how long she’ll keep doing it.

Inside 66-Year-Old Drew Carey’s New Romance With OnlyFans Model, 37: ‘He Signed Up, Liked What He Saw, and Slid Into Her DMs’

Drew Carey is dating OnlyFans model Niki Skyler. MEGA; @nikiskylers/instagram
Drew Carey is officially dating model Niki Skyler after The Price Is Right host subscribed to her OnlyFans and reached out to her through her DMs, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The comedian, 66, and the young OF star, 37, were spotted together earlier this week after the Whose Line is It Anyway star claimed he wasn’t interested in dating after his ex-fiancée’s death.
Drew Carey has been reportedly been dating the OnlyFans model for some time. MEGA
A source close to the couple revealed: “He signed up, liked what he saw, and slid into her DMs. They hit it off immediately. It started flirty, but turned real pretty fast.”

The couple, who were spotted at Swingers diner in Los Angeles on Friday, April 18, have allegedly been quietly seeing each other for several months.

The insider said: “He’s not naïve. He knows exactly what she does for a living, and he respects it.

“He thinks she’s smart, independent, and unapologetic . That’s exactly what he needs right now.”

During their outing, the popular adult content creator wore a black tank top and matching pants, while the TV personality also went the casual route with black jeans, a flannel, and a pair of Converse.

Carey and Skyler’s date comes amid the game show host’s confession, in which he claimed he wasn’t exactly interested in dating following Harwick’s death.

“It destroyed me for a while,” Carey said of her passing. “I still don’t date. I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic, and I don’t care about anything else.”

A source said: “Niki came into his life at just the right time. She’s helping him feel joy again.”

The pair are keeping things low-key for now, but those close to Carey say he’s smitten — and not hiding it.

The insider added: “It’s real. This isn’t just a fling.”

Skyler, who was Penthouse Pet of the Month in April 2017, previously revealed just how much she is into dating older men .

She told the magazine at the time: “Older men turn me on.”
Carey previously declared he was done with dating after the death of his ex-fiancée Amie Harwick. MEGA
Carey was previously engaged to Amie Harwick , who was tragically murdered on February 15, 2020, by her former boyfriend, Gareth Pursehouse.

Harwick was a therapist and author of the book The New Sex Bible for Women , and she and Carey were engaged before splitting up in 2018.

Carey said Harwick contacted him a little more than a year later and wanted to get together.

One source close to the Price is Right host told RadarOnline.com: “Amie’s murder crushed his heart forever.”

Pursehouse, who threw Harwick off the balcony of her home in California’s Hollywood Hills, is currently serving life in prison without parole for the murder.

The producers of the long-running game show The Price Is Right are facing a staggering bill after a jury awarded millions to a former model. The lawsuit centered on claims that the show’s producers discriminated against the model after she became pregnant, ultimately leading to her dismissal. This substantial payout highlights the serious legal and financial consequences of workplace discrimination.

Former Price is Right model awarded $7.7M in damages

The producers of The Price is Right owe a former model on the television game show more than $7.7 million US in punitive damages for discriminating against her after a pregnancy, a jury has decided.

The judgment released Wednesday came one day after the panel found the show’s producers discriminated against Brandi Cochran. They also awarded her nearly $777,000 in actual damages.

Cochran, 41, is a former Miss U.S.A. from Idaho.

She said she was rejected when she tried to return to The Price is Right in early 2010 after taking maternity leave. The jury agreed and determined that FremantleMedia North America and The Price is Right Productions owed her more than $8.5 million in all.

“I’m humbled. I’m shocked,” Cochran said after the jury announced its verdict. “I’m happy that justice was served today not only for women in the entertainment industry, but women in the workplace.”

Show plans to appeal

FremantleMedia said it was standing by its previous statement, which said it expected to be “fully vindicated” after an appeal.

“We believe the verdict in this case was the result of a flawed process in which the court, among other things, refused to allow the jury to hear and consider that 40 per cent of our models have been pregnant,” and further “important” evidence, FremantleMedia said.

In their defence, producers said they were satisfied with the five models working on the show at the time Cochran sought to return.

Several other former models have sued the series and its longtime host, Bob Barker, who retired in 2007.

Most of the cases involving Barker’s Beauties — the nickname given the gown-wearing women who presented prizes to contestants — ended with out-of-court settlements.

Comedian-actor Drew Carey followed Barker as the show’s host.

Drew Carey, the host of the classic game show “The Price Is Right,” recently had to call out members of the audience during a particularly tense moment. His stern words were a rare sight on the typically upbeat show, highlighting the gravity of the situation. The incident has since sparked conversation among fans about show etiquette and the pressure contestants face.

Drew Carey Calls Out the ‘Price Is Right’ Audience Members in Tense Moment

The Price is Right host Drew Carey wasn’t playing games when he shut down rowdy audience members for jeering a contestant on a recent episode.

The 66-year-old comedian delivered a sharp-witted comeback to his audience after they reacted unfavorably to a contestant named Brian during one of the game show’s signature segments, “Switcheroo.”

In a video shared on Instagram on Dec. 16, Brian faced a 30-second challenge to match missing numbers with five prizes: a car, an ice scraper, a massager, an iron, and a pillow. Unlike most players who rush to make quick guesses, Brian approached the task with calm precision, carefully considering each choice before locking in his answers.

“20 seconds,” Carey said as Brian made his selections. “He’s not rushing as much as everyone else that plays this game does.”

With just 10 seconds left on the clock, Brian arranged the numbered blocks in what he believed to be the correct order. However, as the buzzer sounded, the audience reacted with disappointment, groaning at the outcome of his final choices.

Carey appeared genuinely chagrined by the audience’s protests.

“Well, good morning, judgmental!” the host shot back.

How the ‘Price Is Right’ Contestant Drew Carey Defended Came Out on Top…

Although the audience reacted with disapproval, Carey revealed that Brian had answered two questions correctly. The host noted that one of Brian’s correct answers could potentially win him the car. Undeterred, Brian requested an additional 30 seconds on the clock for another attempt.

He returned to the board and rearranged the blocks for the car, but soon second-guessed his decision. Hesitating, he reset the board to its original arrangement before making a last-minute adjustment, opting instead for the lower-stakes prizes.

In a tense moment, Carey revealed that with the adjustments, Brian only had one answer right.

A clearly defeated Brian muttered “Uh-oh…” as a hopeful Carey added, “Hopefully it is the car.”

Carey then revealed the big news: Brian just scored himself a shiny new Toyota Corolla.

“Oh my God!” Brian blurted as he sprinted off the stage in excitement.

Meanwhile, The Price is Right fans were kinder in the Instagram comments than they were in the live studio audience…

“One is all you need!!! Awesome win,” one fan wrote. “Good thing he left the number that mattered most alone, wow!” another fan added. “Crazy! Lady Luck was looking down at him!” yet another fan exclaimed.

Drew Carey Opens Up About His Love Life.

Drew Carey is known to The Price is Right viewers as a happy-go-lucky, regular guy who always smiles and cracks jokes, but the beloved host has faced his fair share of struggles over the years, and has been open about his mental health.

In a new interview with Us Weekly, Carey opened up about his love life, how he doesn’t date, and learning to move on following the tragic death of his former fiancée, Amie Harwick, who was murdered by an ex-boyfriend in 2020.

Carey said he thinks about Harwick “every day,” revealing, “Her death still affects me and my ideas about relationships and intimacy. It was all damaged by first our breakup, and then, the day before she died, when she texted me.”

The comedian explained how he and Harwick went through a “really bad” but “necessary” breakup. “I couldn’t think about her or see a picture of her. I didn’t want to be reminded,” he shared. “And then I got a text from her out of the blue. She said, ‘Hey, it’s Amie. I’ve been thinking a lot about forgiveness. I would love to get together with you and talk about some things.’”

Carey said he texted her “that I loved her” and agreed to meet up with her the following week. “I heard from one of her friends that she shed tears about my saying that I loved her still. Which I did. I loved her madly even though we were broken up,” he stated.

Unfortunately, Carey and Harwick never got to reconcile, as the next day, she was murdered.

“It destroyed me for a while,” Carey said, admitting, “I still don’t date. I have women I go out with and spend time with, but it’s all platonic, and I don’t care about anything else. Amie’s death really affected everything.”

The Drew Carey Show star explained how Harwick’s funeral and connecting with her friends and family helped with the healing process. “We held each other up through the funeral and the trial [of Harwick’s ex-boyfriend Gareth Pursehouse, who was convicted of killing her],” he said. “Now Amie’s memory and the things she lived for keep us going.”

Before his relationship with Harwick, Carey dated Nicole Jaracz, whom he proposed to in 2007. However, they never got married, calling off their engagement and separating in 2012. While Carey has never had kids of his own, he was a proud stepfather to Jaracz’s son, Connor, whom she had from a previous relationship. Carey has remained a presence in Connor’s life since the breakup.

He’s also a godfather, telling Us, “I have this great female friend group that I cherish, and I’m godfather to several sets of kids from the group. We hang out together, went on vacation together and we talk to each other every day. That’s the biggest blessing in my life right now.”

Trump again claims Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon are ‘next’ to be cancelled

U.S. President Donald Trump is doubling down on his claims that late-night hosts Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are “next” to lose their shows following the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

During a press conference at the White House on Wednesday, Real America’s Voice reporter Brian Glenn asked Trump about reports that radio host Howard Stern may part ways with Sirius XM after his contract expires in the fall.

Glenn went on to ask if the “hate Trump” comedy was losing popularity with American audiences.

In his response, Trump used the example of the recent cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and added that he believes Kimmel and Fallon are next.

“Well, it hasn’t worked,” Trump replied. “And it hasn’t worked, really, for a long time, and I would say pretty much from the beginning. Colbert has no talent. I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside in the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They’d get higher ratings than he did. He’s got no talent.”

“Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They’re next. They’re going to be going. I hear they’re going to be going. I don’t know, but I would imagine because they’d get—you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.”

4:57White House anger over political satires/late night talk shows

Trump made a similar statement on Truth Social after Colbert’s show was cancelled last month.

He criticized Kimmel and claimed he has “absolutely NO TALENT” while warning that his show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, is next on the chopping block.

“The word is, and it’s a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes, and shortly thereafter, Fallon will be gone,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on July 22.

“These are people with absolutely NO TALENT, who were paid Millions of Dollars for, in all cases, destroying what used to be GREAT Television. It’s really good to see them go, and I hope I played a major part in it!”

Kimmel responded by sharing a screenshot of Trump’s post on Instagram with the caption: “I’m hearing you’re next. Or maybe it’s just another wonderful secret” — a reference to a Wall Street Journal report, published July 17, that claimed Trump had written the phrase to Jeffrey Epstein in a letter for his 50th birthday in 2003.

Trump went on to make another claim about the late-night hosts and the cancellation of Colbert’s show last week.

In a post on Truth Social on July 29, Trump said “everybody” thinks he was “solely responsible” for the end of the late-night talk show but that the rumours are “not true!”

“Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, ‘Late Night,’” Trump wrote. “That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!”

Trump went on to claim that “an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel” will be “next up” to lose his job, followed by “a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon.”

“The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don’t, you always become a victim,” Trump wrote. “Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow.”

Kimmel responded to Trump’s post by sharing a screenshot of it on Instagram and writing, “I know you’re busy Sharpie-ing the Epstein files, but this seems like a weird way to tell people to watch Matt Damon and Ken Jennings on an all-new Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tomorrow night at 8|7c on @ABC.”

Colbert hasn’t responded to Trump’s latest claim that he wasn’t “solely responsible” for the end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert but he did share some choice words for Trump during an opening monologue on the show last month.
