CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King says the show's controversial interview with author Ta-Nehisi Coates earlier this has been "a learning experience for everybody."
During a panel Tuesday dedicated to the morning show at PaleyFest New York, King and executive producer Shawna Thomas were the only ones to respond to a question about the episode from moderator Lisa Ling. The comments came about three weeks after the show became the backdrop for an unusually public clash between CBS News and parent Paramount Global after Ta-Nehisi Coates made an appearance to promote his new book.
