In a cringeworthy moment, Fox News host Jesse Watters mixed up journalists Gayle King and Robin Roberts Wednesday while trying to backhandedly compliment King for “totally redeeming herself” after her interview with Jussie Smollett (which was actually conducted by Roberts).
“That was not Gayle King. Robin Roberts did the Smollett interview,” fellow host Dana Perino quickly interjected.
“I knew that!” Watters cried as the table laughed, apologizing soon after.
