During a segment, Gayle King then clarified that she could not make it to the show because of a “serious” stomach bug.
“She had some kind of stomach thing – stomach flu – stuff was coming out of both ends. I won’t get too graphic. Needless to say, she ended up in the hospital, dehydration, and had to get an IV. It was a very serious thing.”
