Gayle's got to go
rixter12 April 2018
Probably the best news program in the morning. Serious news without a lot of the garbage and fluff on the other networks. But the awful Gayle King is the weak link. She constantly stumbles through the teleprompter, but the worst is when she interrupts Norah or John when they are questioning a guest. Everyone knows why she got the job. She's a wannabe journalist who happens to be BFF of the media goddess. .

Gayle King
gwendolyc7 June 2019
Gayle must really like that wig. This morning it looked like she was n a hurry and just put it on. No grooming. Time for another

CBS This Morning
ksrsxb27 January 2022
Overall I really like the content, the new format, longer stories, etc. But what is aggravating me more and more is Gayle King CONSTANTLY interrupting her co-hosts. Gayle, be quiet. You don't always have to add to ... what others have to say is worth us listening to also. I can't imagine how Nate, Vlad and Tony feel ...

Gayle has got to go
daveyx-2681219 November 2018
I end up changing to a different news channel, because gayle takes over the questions and always has the last word. I hate that. Just because you are oprah is your friends does not mean you control the show. Please let her go! The other news hosts show way more class. Gayle king is just like Jim acosta.

No to new format!
mpmurph-7062129 September 2021
Definitely not a fan of the new CBS Mornings show. Starting to look like NBC and ABC with fluff, sofas, chefs, and so on. The reason I had previously been a fan was because it offered newsworthy stories, compelling, unique, and always mind expanding. Not sure how much longer I will stay with them. Prefer Intelligence to idiotic. That's what NBC and ABC offer. No shun to Gayle, Tony, or Nate; although do miss Anthony. It's the decision of the big wigs, and they have drifted on this one.

Gayle King needs to go. I'm sure she's here because of Oprah.

New CBS Mornings - goodbye
lourdeszarate31 August 2021
Now that Anthony Mason has been replaced with another "personality" host, CBS is like the other network's morning programming where entertainment is more important than serious journalism.

It's just sad.

Please Replace the Hosts
Candylyn16 June 2019
I didn't realize how good this Morning show could be until Gayle King and John Dickerson were not on the show. Recently there was an episode where the normal hosts were not on. The format was the same, but it was more professional, relaxed, informative, and enjoyable. The only host I missed was Norah O'Donnell.

Norah is incredible intelligent, friendly, and tends to keep her opinion to herself. However, Gayle is disrespectful to the other hosts and guests, extremely loud yet boring, and is an Oprah wanna-be. Gayle should be on MSNBC or even FOX, she is annoying enough. As for the gentleman, he is too stiff, distant, and forgettable.

The format and look of the show is fine, but Norah needs new co-hosts with temperaments like her or some with a mild sense of humor.

New Life For Morning News
patrickontheplanet3 December 2012
No fluff. No ridiculously rushed cooking segments. No disastrous crowds of people obnoxiously waving and dancing in the windows behind the anchors or the guest. Succinct news pieces. Fine hosts. Thought provoking pieces of journalism that I can actually use and appreciate. This is the house that Murrow & Cronkite built, after all, and CBS This Morning follows in that integrity. CBS has tried for years to land a niche since the days Sullivan and Smith hosted their morning news. With the new format, new studio and a new team... CBS This Morning has a shot to recapture an audience. This stellar morning program is the "thinking person's morning news" and I hope they carry on and make history.

Gayle King must go.
DeadHeadCycler15 February 2019
She constantly interrupts guests including Bill Gates and her own co-hosts. She interrupted Bill Gates answer so that she could comment on Bill's question on February 2019. She feel she needs to Halt the Limelight with all these interruptions and inappropriate comments.

Does Oprah own CBS??
spokanegolfer1 June 2019
Gayle King is in charge!! Every time I've turned the show on in the past, I had to suffer through Gayle King butchering another story! How difficult is it to get facts and be knowledgeable about subject matter?? Not to mention, being politically unbiased! Gayle has a way to twist stories into an attack on Trump! Very sad and juvenial of her! I see where she is friends with Oprah and somehow she is in charge of the show now! Not to mention a several million dollar raise! Better off throwing money away! #turning channel to the watching paint dry channel!!

Last word
pagani7618 February 2020
Gayle just seems to always has to have the last word. She interrupts the other news anchors to often. She needs to practice restraint.

After decades of watching CBS morning news, I'm OUT as of this week.
crdoctor16 September 2021
CBS Morning managers must be so worried about being "politically correct" that they have kept Gayle King on waaaaaaaay too long, and now, they hired another potential weak point in the hire of Nate Burleson. He certainly deserves a chance to prove himself, but seems to be getting bad advice already regarding some very "Basics" regarding why people keep watching news shows. Poor Nate has already shown a lack of judgement regarding business "basics" , such as his lack of socks, or, showing up on Colbert's Late Night show sporting short pants With a suit coat recently. I'm looking for professional news casters with worthwhile feedback, NOT "buffoons".

Tony Dokoupil is great, but he must bite his tongue a lot just to keep from telling Gayle she's an idiot.

I wish all three of the morning team well, as a courtesy, but reality tells me Gayle will pull it all down around them again but come out smelling like a rose. Or, maybe there will be some changes soon. ? I hope so. But only time will tell........or, maybe some CBS Morning show directors / producers will finally get some GUTS and replace Gayle and start having their news representatives provide a more professional on-air status every morning.

Until then, I'm starting to watch MSNBC and CNN as new alternates to CBS Mornings.

GAYLE KING
love-711056 April 2021
Why is Gayle so needy? So Flashy? Needs to be seen and heard, constantly. Always has to add a last word, when conversations, even the beginning intro, she adds a word or two. Always, at the 2nd hour, she has to add glasses of the same color, daily, now, she has microphones the same color of her outfits. She so needs to be noticed. It's so annoying. The show is not about you, Gayle. And, once in a while, she introduce Tony & Anthony as being with them, but most of the time, it's, "I'm Gayle K, and that's Tony D, and that's Anthony D. Come on, give them the respect they deserve, Again, it's not about you, Gayle. Actually, before the big changes, Gayle had a nice sense of Humor, look how money has changed her. She pushed out John & Norah. It is so Lovely to watch Norah in the evening. All about the news!

Awful
wwwcxnw29 September 2021

Changes in the Anchors are Needed
laakelly19 November 2019
I've been an avid CBS This Morning news watcher for the last 7 years. And have watched CBS evening news, 60 Minutes and Sunday Morning programming since I was a kid. I'm currently 36 (not sure what age your target audience is for the Morning show) but I wanted to provide some constructive feedback. Since the Morning show, shake-up and Nora leaving the chemistry of the Morning show host have been unusual at best. Often times it appears that Gayle is over-opinionated, Tony is over-opinionated and jolly Anthony is just along for the ride.

Tony seems to often fight to get a word in over Gayle and lately its been noticeable that Tony is speaking more, Gayle just seems unhappily complicit. I often cringe at the ad-lib wording Anthony and Gayle sometimes use. And lately, I'm sensing that Gayle and Tony really don't get along. Very different backgrounds, very different perspectives and neither seem to have an open mind - again highly opinionated. It's as if the Morning show has become an awkward Op-ed and less journalistic.

I believe the reporters on the ground do a great job overall and are much more cognizant of their words when they are on set - Vlad, Alex, David, Elaine, and Jericka by far do the best. They are calmer and thoughtful in their approaches as well as being very likable. I would love to see them daily, not only for how they deliver the news but also for their congenial chemistry and obvious depth and intelligence. It would also be nice to see a majority of diversity as anchors. Maybe I'm reading too much into all the dynamics behind the scenes, but as a viewer, I walk away with more thoughts about the hosts then the actual news. I miss Norah and John but know they are off to bigger and better places naturally.

I don't want to switch to NBC or ABC. The days of the NBC Today Show being actual news are long gone. ABC has a lot going on for it but I don't always like the format. The CBS format is great, the news topics covered are great and I LOVE that you all are highlighting stories about the environment, education and positive stories for the American audience. Lately, I watch via Roku and skip around stories or just not watch all together because the host dynamics feel uncomfortable. I hope to see an improvement. The anchors, when by themselves seem to do much better than when together as a group.

How Does Gayle King have a Role?
jacobdtober21 May 2021
I watch every morning while working-only because I signed up for CBS All Access to watch the BB Live Feeds, and have never taken the time to remove my subscription.

The topics are decent enough, but good G-d, Gayle King is incompetent AF. She is clueless, and has no ad-lib, or interview skills. Her false positivity, and school-marm like condescension is too much.

How did gayle get her job? She's totally unqualified and out of place.

Vladimir Duthiers
dmarkese26 May 2023
I would love to see Vlad Duthiers as a permanent host daily on the show. He absolutely adds life to the show. He should replace Nate. Vlad is enthusiastic, dynamic & adds a human touch to the show he is so authentic. He makes happy when I see him. He is truely a reporter & really enjoys the pieces he reports on. Vlad, Tony & Gayle are the perfect trio, they definitely compliment each other each having their own personalities which mesh very well together. Vlads laugh is contagious he adds much life to the show. I hope others feel that Vlad should become a permanent host on the show. I also enjoy watching CBS weekends.

Don't like new CBS morning news show
clsdimonte27 October 2021
I've moved to good morning America as it's lost its news focus and it like a morning talk show. Love Sunday morning but Monday thru Friday I really want news and relevant topics. It's lost it's magic with this change and I e stopped watching. Shame as I thought it was best show 7-9 am.

REINCARNATED CHRISTMAS 🎄 TREE
calbambi8 December 2020
Gayle King is a reincarnated Christmas 🎄 Tree.

From her garland wigs to her ornamental glasses and her junk jewellery streamers to her bright and shiny shoe base.

Yep! She sure reminds me of a Christmas 🎄 tree. Throw in too much makeup for some added colour. She dresses like she is going to the club and she dresses way too young for her age too. So Merry Christmas 🎄 to all.

Cal Bambi.

Biggest mistake
garciamario-7765224 October 2022
I really love the show specially with the good match personalities however making the show speedy is making me feel angry, and the amount of ads I understand every one gives itself to capitalism but please you gave us good people to see on tv and watching them on a hurry is painful and those little details are going inside their minds when they go home specially for Vladimir Duthiers.

Gale king is great people just have to much negativity on their minds and the trends are obvious anyhow concentrating on them is just sad.however it could be good to have people choosing 3 good things about the show at the end of each week. I just don't feel it anymore more and more you guys are in a hurry for an ad the dominate your life this is what gets me upset.

Charlie Rose Should Take the Lead
safire-584196 April 2017
I am so addicted to watching this show every morning to get my news. My biggest problem with this show is that Gayle King is totally incompetent on this show. Nora and Charlie are very professional. The content is usually very good. I turn it off after the first 1.5 hours. The last 1/2hour is a waste of time. No news at all...just Hollywood nonsense. This show could be Number 1 for sure if they got rid of Gayle King. If Nora and Charlie are gone, I change stations. The substitutes do not come close. Love that they take news serious.

Gale King is the worst.
ashtontucker-8966128 March 2022
I love cbs morning but am going to have to stop watching it because I can't stand Gale King. She is annoying and rude. I love the Saturday morning show and will continue to watch since it dosen't include Gale. I miss Norah!
