Gayle King is "furious" about the recent controversies and changes at CBS, and she may be ready to leave the network's morning show, "CBS This Morning," altogether.The news comes after Page Six reported last week that the program was headed for a complete overhaul."There are real discussions about just starting over -- anchors, format, producers," a source said. "Everything is on the table."Among the biggest changes is the exit of executive producer Ryan Kadro, who decided to leave months ago. An insider told the outlet that news of his exit becoming public the same day as the news that CBS reached a settlement with three of former "CBS This Morning" co-hosts accusers was simply an "unfortunate coincidence," but hasn't stopped people from connecting Kadro to the settlements. 29 PHOTOS Gayle King See Gallery Gayle King JERSEY CITY, NJ - JUNE 03: Co-Hosts Nacho Figueras and Gayle King attend The Tenth Annual Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic at Liberty State Park on June … [Read more...] about ‘Furious’ Gayle King may leave ‘CBS This Morning’: What’s going on behind the scenes?

Fox's broadcast of the Miss Universe pageant was fairly steady Sunday, and football gave a lift to CBS and NBC. The Miss Universe competition drew a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 for Fox, even with the 2017 pageant (which aired in late November). It was down a little bit in viewers, averaging 4.19 million people vs. 4.46 million a year ago. An NFL game that bled into primetime teed up strong numbers for 60 Minutes on CBS. The newsmagazine is currently at a 2.4 in the demo, which would be a season high if it holds in the finals. God Friended Me (1.0) and NCIS: Los Angeles (0.9) are both in line with their most recent post-NFL outings; a repeat of FBI closed out the night. Sunday Night Football continued its year-over-year improvements in preliminary ratings.

Michael Weatherly made several lewd comments or jokes in front of the production team referring to Dushku's physique, with sexual connotations, according to The New York Times, which first reported the development. The actor acknowledged having made most of the comments, but insisted that they were not sexual advances. Dushku shared her discomfort at the remarks with the production team before speaking with Weatherly, and the situation did not improve. Several days later, the actress learned that she had been written off the show even though the production team had previously told her it was planning to give her character a recurring role in the series. After weighing taking legal action against CBS, the 37-year-old actress turned to mediation, which led to an agreement. The settlement amount corresponds to the payment she would have received had she fulfilled the entire term of her contract.
