Thereafter, King recalled one of Lane’s jokes. She said: “Let’s talk about the stand-up [special]. Can I just say a joke? I hope I have no trouble. “”

The 70-year-old man continued: “You make a riff on the white women who approached you, and they said something on the kitchen, and you said:” What in the gangote F are you talking about? “”

However, the seasoned journalist did not censor the word, although he was deleted in the later broadcasts of the show and on social networks.

Despite the use by King of the gay suspension, Lane found her fun while reacting laughing, exclaiming: “I love you Gayle King!”

King also asked Lane what the remark meant, and he replied: “It means exactly what you think it means. White women, they are good during the day, but they have a sip of rosé and they say to themselves:” Tonight, it’s me! “They will not stop, I tell you.”
