Gayle King: Press Pass to Life
Gayle King is a voice of reason, calm and love who has been in our lives for decades now. We count on having her there in the morning to inform us, lead us, entertain us and get the positive vibes flowing bright and early. When the news is bad she’s great and when the news is good she’s even better. A beloved radio host, she’s also one of the most successful names in television journalism and one of the most trusted and respected. King interviews top newsmakers and delivers original reporting to CBS THIS MORNING and all CBS News broadcasts and platforms. She is also Editor-at-Large of the award-winning O The Oprah Magazine. Since joining CBS News in 2011, King has conducted revealing and news-making interviews with world leaders, political figures and celebrities. Among her numerous awards are three Emmys and the American Women in Radio & Television’s Gracie Award for Outstanding Radio Talk Show. When they say “it couldn’t happen to a nicer person” they’re talking about Gayle King. She's one of those people who keep us connected to honesty, truth and decency, and for that, she is more valuable than ever before, and why we want her here on Phil In The Blanks.

Emmitt Smith On The NFL, ‘Dancing With The Stars’ And More
When it comes to judging future success, most people get it wrong, one way or the other. There are simply too many variables. One of the hardest things to do on Earth is play in the National Football League. It is also one of the hardest places to predict individual success. Everyone in the league is superior in some way: speed, strength, agility, skill, instinct, passion. Separation between best and worst is often measured in split seconds or a couple of inches, or in a single moment of inspiration or hesitation. Think about what it takes to be the best ever in a world like the NFL, to somehow move beyond superior and live there. Emmitt Smith thought about it then went out and did it. But when he was coming out of high school a man considered to be an expert at judging young football talent said about him: “he is a lugger, not a runner. He’s not fast. He can’t get around the corner. When he falls flat on his face, remember where you heard it first.” The most important variable in becoming the best running back in the history of the NFL is being Emmitt Smith.
