Gayle King says 'all black people don't look alike' after Fox News mix-up with Robin Roberts

Apparently, Fox News host Jesse Watters can't tell the difference between African-American anchors Gayle King and Robin Roberts. King's response: "All black people do not look alike."

Fox News praised King's explosive interview with R. Kelly during Wednesday’s segment of "The Five," where Watters slammed the embattled singer for "acting like a child, throwing a tantrum and acting like he was the victim."

"Hats off to Gayle King for totally redeeming herself after the (Jussie) Smollett fiasco," Watters concluded his remarks.

Problem is, that wasn't King who interviewed Smollett. It was Roberts

Roberts faced criticism following her Feb. 14 interview with the "Empire" star about an alleged attack against him. A week after the exclusive aired on ABC's "Good Morning America," Smollett was arrested for filing a false police report, in what authorities believe was a hoax intended to promote his career.

On the other hand, King was applauded for maintaining her composure as a hysterical Kelly screamed and cried during her "CBS This Morning" interview about the singer's alleged sexual abuse, which he vehemently denied. The sit-down aired Wednesday, the same day Kelly was arrested and taken into custody in Chicago over unpaid child support.

Fellow Fox News commentator Dana Perino quickly corrected her colleague: "That was not Gayle King. Robin Roberts did the Smollett interview."

Watters responded, "I knew that," before covering his head in embarrassment. "Sorry for Robin Roberts out there. … I apologize."

Watters shook his head, collectively joining Twitter users who pointed out the blunder. The commentator apologized again during the segment by writing, "I’m sorry Gayle & Robin" on a dry-erase board. 

King had fun tweaking Fox about the mix-up later Thursday when she appeared on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert."

She told the host, "I emailed Dana, who I don’t know, and I said, 'Hi, just wanted to thank you for letting your colleague know that … we are two different people. And could you let the rest of your colleagues know that all black people do not look alike. Could you please just share that?' Yes I did."
