«Breaking News» Gayle King sent Dana Perino a scathing email after Jesse Watters confused her with Robin Roberts

Gayle King clapped back at Fox News host Jesse Watters for mistaking her for fellow African-American journalist Robin Roberts, saying in an email to Watters' co-host Dana Perino: 'Could you let the rest of your colleagues know all black people do not look alike?' 

King revealed her email on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday night after Watters' gaff. 

He was co-hosting The Five with Perino on Thursday when he mistakenly tried to both insult King and compliment her for her interview with R. Kelly. 

'Hats off to Gayle King for totally redeeming herself after the Smollett fiasco,' he said, referencing Robin Roberts' ABC interview with Jussie Smollett before he was arrested for allegedly staging a hoax attack and reporting it to the police.

Perino nervously interjected: 'That was not Gayle King. Robin Roberts did the Smollett interview.' 

Watters put his head in one hand and said: 'I knew that.' Later in the show, he held up a whiteboard apologizing to both King and Roberts. 

During her appearance on Colbert, King said she did not watch the show but that friends told her about Watters' mistake. 

'I normally don't watch Fox News so I was sent this.  I emailed Dana, who I don't know, and said: "Hi, just wanted to thank you for letting your colleague know that Robin Roberts and I, it was a great compliment, but thank you for letting him know we're two different people and could you let the rest of your colleagues know that all black people do not look alike." 

'Yes I did, I said that to her,' King said. 

Fox News host Jesse Watters was trying to praise Gayle King for her R. Kelly interview this week - but mistook her for Robin Roberts instead 

Watters later held up a whiteboard on the show that read: 'I'm sorry Gayle + Robin' (pictured) 

Perino replied to her email by saying it was 'nice to meet her', she revealed. 

'We had a little joke about it and I hope to meet her one day because that was very nice of her to do,' King said. 

Referring to Watters, she said: 'The guy just said like, "Robin Roberts, Gayle King." I just though, "OK dude, all right. It's OK." 

She also revealed that before she and Kelly sat down in front of the CBS camera crew, she went to his apartment in Trump Tower Chicago to meet him. 

Roberts' interview with Smollett aired just two days before he was arrested for allegedly filing a false police report. She called it one of the 'most challenging' interviews she's ever done 

King has received high praise for keeping her cool while interviewing Kelly for CBS Morning this week as he lashed out over her questions 

He was dressed in sweatpants and told her that he was going to change into a suit. 

King said she wanted to put him at ease. 

She also explained why she kept her cool when Kelly erupted in front of her, saying that she did not him to storm out of the interview. 

'When I see Robert getting really upset and he stands up and he gets really upset, my initial reaction is "please God please don't leave, please don't leave."

'Because I really thought, we've seen him storm out of interviews before and I thought he was going to do that. And I thought, "What can I do to save this interview?" 

'So I sat there quietly, made eye contact with him. I thought, the minute I walk up there and say "calm down", it'll make it even worse.' 

Her full interview with Kelly will be shown on CBS on Friday at 8pm EST.

King revealed ...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
