Gayle King, while interviewing comedian Matteo Lane on her show, repeated a joke from his stand-up special that included a gay slur. She did not censor the offensive word, causing immediate shock among viewers and co-hosts Tony Dokoupil and Nate Burleson. Although Lane seemed amused at the time, exclaiming "I love you Gayle King!" and clarifying the meaning of his joke, many online criticized King's use of the slur. Later broadcasts and social media posts removed the slur. Representatives for both King and Lane have not yet commented publicly.
