Charles Barkley and Gayle King are teaming up to take CNN by storm — they’re gonna be hosting a new show together later this year … which may be forcing HRH into a double take.
The announcement was made Saturday during TNT’s pregame coverage … where Gayle came on set with Chuck and the guys to talk about their new venture together — namely, a weekly primetime slot on CNN that sees them both talking politics and timely topics.

The program’s gonna be titled “King Charles” … and while, on its face, it might sound Chuck-centric — you’ll remember, King is Gayle’s last name … so she’s in there as well.
Now, as for what sort of stuff they might get into — well, they teased a little bit on TNT … including the hot-button issue of guns. Charles and Gayle brought up a string of shootings that have happened over the past few months … including school shootings and even ones that have randomly occurred to innocent bystanders — like Ralph Yarl and Kinsley White.
“I want it to be nonpolitical… but we don’t want to say we’re a Liberal, Conservative, Republican, Democrat- that’s one of the things that’s already ruined television in general. ” – Charles Barkley on his newly announced CNN show with Gayle King pic.twitter.com/dxpAL7UPuh

Now, while they’ll certainly cover stories that touch on politics … Charles insists the show itself won’t be political by nature — meaning, it won’t pander to Republicans or Dems. The way they’re pitching it is … Gayle and Charles giving their “straight shooter” opinions live.
Gayle also says it doesn’t always have to be so heavy … adding they might get into food, pop culture and whatever else they wanna touch on that’s in the news cycle that week.
We have a special guest in Studio J!

“King Charles” will air Wednesdays starting this all, and both will retain their gigs at CBS and Turner, respectively … the latter of which is an already subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery.
Carry on with the coronation, Your Majesty. Nothing to do with you at all.
