Gayle King cheering on Norah O’Donnell ahead of ‘CBS Evening News’ launch

Gayle King has been doing overtime promoting Norah O’Donnell’s “CBS Evening News” launch.

There was buzz that King wanted her former co-host off “CBS This Morning,” which CBS blasted as untrue.

“Cheering you on always Norah,” she posted Monday, adding: “Tune in tonight as Norah debuts as anchor and managing editor at ‘CBS Evening News.’ ”

O’Donnell revealed King’s BFF Oprah Winfrey told her that new gig is her “supreme destiny.”

She told the Hollywood Reporter that Oprah told her in a congratulatory call: “There are so few women who get to speak about the world to the world.”
