Bump One Off

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] There are lots of TV shows with a panel of hosts who are all competing for attention.

While they are usually all smiles and nice on the surface, there is actually a fierce competition that goes on for air time and salaries.

This one successful show is dumping one of its hosts. They are saying that it is something that was initiated by the executives.

No.

It was initiated by one of the other hosts!

She doesn’t like other women taking her air time, plus she wants to renegotiate her contract. She thinks that if she bumps another woman off the show will be more desperate to keep her AND she will get a bigger share of the show’s talent budget.

That’s cold. And she seems like such a nice person on the outside! Like someone you would want to have as a best friend…

[Optional] What is the worst panel TV show currently on the air? Why?

SOLVED!

TV Show: CBS This Morning

Bumped Host: Bianna Golodryga

Staying Host: Gayle King

Holy sh*t.

Gayle King just got rid of BOTH of her female cohosts on CBS This Morning!

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you a month ago that Gayle “doesn’t like other women taking her air time, plus she wants to renegotiate her contract. She thinks that if she bumps another woman off, the show will be more desperate to keep her AND she will get a bigger share of the show’s talent budget.”

We were originally talking about cohost Bianna Golodryga, who did wind up leaving the show.

However, Gayle didn’t stop there. She didn’t just get rid of ONE female cohost. She got rid of BOTH of them! Norah O’Donnell is now out, too!

That’s cold.

Now Gayle King will now be the only female on a panel with two men.

From The New York Post:

Gayle King pushes out Norah O’Donnell at ‘CBS This Morning’

Norah O’Donnell is officially out as co-host CBS’ struggling morning show — thanks to Gayle King.

Sources close to CBS say the new anchor lineup for “CBS This Morning” has been set and it doesn’t include O’Donnell because King — riding high off her big interview with R. Kelly — has demanded she be sent elsewhere.

“Norah is toxic,” a CBS insider said, explaining that the anchor is difficult to work with and has aided in feeding rumors about the impending exit of Jeff Glor, anchor of “CBS Evening News,” while vying for his job.

The blood is so bad between the morning news co-hosts that King demanded O’Donnell be moved off the show as part of King’s recent contract negotiations, which kicked off after her now-infamous Kelly interview, sources said.

Besides King, the new morning show lineup includes “CBS This Morning Saturday” co-anchor Anthony Mason and CBS News correspondent Tony Dokoupil, a source said.

Notice how they are trying to make Norah O’Donnell the villain here? Nasty.

Well, at least they are not trying to pretend any more that it was an “executive decision.” This was all Gayle King’s doing.

Well, Gayle King and a certain famous friend of hers.

You see, Gayle King’s best friend Oprah has been “advising” her during this process. The result was that all the other women got pushed out. Only Gayle and the men remain. We’ll just leave that little note there for you to consider.

Congratulations to Meruhdith for being first with the correct response!

    Whoa! Nora O’Donnell is amazing at what she does and gorgegous wo distracting from the news.

    Gossip runs rampant in all TV news stations. Been there, done that. A lot of down time in TV news. And prob all other work places.

    Seems desperate. And controlling.

    I tweeted about Gayle’s bad wig and fit during a Princess Diana (sniff) special and the next time she was on CBS she had a wig with bangs that hid her personal curries sticking out. Was really bad.

  2. pinkmarie says

    Les be honest: it’s not like Oprah Winfrey isn’t pulling strings behind the scenes to help her gal pal! Pun intended….

  3. Catseyezzz says

    Let Gayle go!! She’s not that great. Everyone is scared to piss off Ole Oprah.

  4. montebell says

    Don’t care for Gayle. Her relationship with the big O has propelled her career and apparently her ego. I don’t watch her show but kudos to her for believing she is worth it. I don’t think so, but we’ll see if the network honchos bow to her.

  6. I Am PunkA says

    The View is the worst because they argue needlessly and are rude to each other.

    The View
    Meagan McCain
    Whoopi

  8. wendybar says

    TV show -CBS This Morning
    Bumped host-Bianna Golodryga
    Staying host who is a “good friend of Oprah” Gail King
    The worst panel show on TV is the Morning Joe crew.

  11. allurbasebelongstome says

    show: The View

    bumped host: Megan McCain

    staying host: Joy Behr/Abby Huntsman

  13. charlene2345 says

    TV Show: CBS This Morning

    Bumped Host: Bianna Golodryna (not sure of spelling). She’s apparently being kicked off because CBS thought four hosts was too many, but that sounded strange since she was only on six months.

    Staying Host: Gayle King, Oprah’s best friend. Ever since her R Kelly interview, she can do no wrong.

    [Optional] What is the worst panel TV show currently on the air? Why? I don’t watch that much network TV and no talk shows, so I’m not a good judge. Lol.

  14. Meowchie says

    Good Morning America

    Either: Amy Robach, Lara Spencer or Ginger Zee

    You don’t see much of the blondes lately anymore, which is too bad because they seemed like they had great chemistry! They need Ginger Zee for the weather, so she’s the one staying.

  18. TonySheridan says

    CBS this Morning, Gayle King as the instigator and Bianna Golodryga as the departing host.

    I’m a wuss-I just can’t deal with all the yammering, especially in the morning.

  19. stellavill says

    Meany is Gayle King for sure. The newest cohost is leaving the CBS morning show. So much for supporting other women, Gayle.

    Joy Behar and Meghan McCain always seems to be at each other’s throats. Especially when Whoopi is not there. Hate to say this. Love the show.

  21. Monysmom says

    I think Joy Behar would live to have Meghan McCain bumped off but I think MM has more juice than Joy does

    They’re the only two worth listening to
    Whoops Goldberg or Joy Behar

  27. amagod121 says

    Ohhhh, pleeeease tell me that it’s:

    The View
    Dumped: Meghan Mc Pain (aka John Mc Pain Jr.)
    Staying: Whoopsie Goldberg

    • amagod121 says

      Nope, I was wrong. It’s Bianna Golodryga of CBS This Morning, and Gayle King, best friend of Oprah (“Like someone you would want to have as a best friend…”) is the host who got her dumped. VERY cold and doesn’t that chick have enough $$$ and airtime as it is?

  30. Gerseychick says

    Gayle King is a real _ _ _ _ _ behind the scenes….
    She learned a lot from Opie…
    Getting rid of the Russian co-anchor..

  33. TeaDrinker says

    TV Show: CBS This Morning

    Bumped Host: Bianna Golodryga

    Staying Host: Gayle King

    Clues: “best friend” since Gayle is besties with Oprah.

  34. porsche says

    Bianna G as the host being dumped by CBS This Morning and Gayle King as the host iniating it.

  36. yashenny says

    No idea so I’m guessing The View
    Bumped Host: Joy Behar
    Staying Host: Meghan McCain
    Optional: The View lol

    • fufufrankie says

      A big hint was “bumps” because Gayle’s married name was Bumpus:
      bumps = Bumpus

    • Notmyrealname says

      That’s a real shame…I thought Nora was fantastic. Nothing like women supporting other women. I guess only if it’s not someone that could outshine Oprah/Gayle.
