WE'RE BACK HERE WITH GAYLE KING AND TONY DOKOUPIL.
CELEBRATING FIRST-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF "CBS MORNINGS."
YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO DO SOMETHING RECENTLY, YOU GOT TO BE A SPORTS
REPORTER FOR THE AFTERNOON BECAUSE YOU INTERVIEWED--
>> THAT'S BEING KIND. SERENA.
>> Stephen: ON THE COURT AFTER HER FIRST-ROUND WIN OF THE U.S.
OPEN. ARE YOU A TENNIS FAN?
>> YEAH, YEAH. >> Stephen: WHAT WAS THAT LIKE
FOR YOU AS A TENNIS FAN-- >> I'VE BEEN GOING TO THE U.S.
OPEN FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND THEY CALLED ME ABOUT TWO WEEKS
AGO-- THE TENNIS PEOPLE, NOT ESPN, BECAUSE ESPN AND CBS DON'T
HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. THAT'S A DIFFERENT NETWORK.
THE TENNIS PEOPLE SAID IF SERENA LOSEWE WANT TO DO SOMETHING ON
THE MAIN COURT BECAUSE WE THINK SHE'S GOING TO BE PLAYING
OPENING NIGHT. AND THEN THEY CALLED BACK AND
SAID WE WANT TO CELEBRATE HER, WHETHER SHE WINS OR LOSES, WHICH
I THINK IS TERRIFIC. >> Stephen: SURE.
>> IT'S A WAY TO SAY THANK YOU AND WE CELEBRATE YOU.
I WAS SO NERVOUS THAT FIRST DAY BECAUSE I WANTED HER TO WIN SO
BADLY, STEPHEN. >> Stephen: YOU WERE CAUGHT ON
CAMERA SAYING, "I WAS SO NERVOUS."
>> NERVOUS FOR HER. >> Stephen: I THOUGHT YOU WERE
NERVOUS. >> NO, NO, NO.
I WASN'T SAYING I DON'T GET NERVOUS BUT I WASN'T NERVOUS
ABOUT THAT, IT WAS JUST THAT I WANTED IT SO BADLY FOR HER.
>> DO YOU GET NERVOUS IF I TAKE THE MIC FOR A QUESTION.
I GET THE SENSE YOU ARE EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE ON CAMERA AND OFF
CAMERA. I SEE NOW CHANGE.
>> I DON'T REALLY.
ACCORDING TO PLAN, I'M OKAY WITH SAYING, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
THIS ISN'T WORKING OUT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK.
WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT." I DON'T BELIEVE TO TRY TO HIDE
AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT WHEN IT'S GOING, AS
MY GRANDMOTHER USED TO SAY, TO HELL IN A HANDBASKET.
I WANTED IT SO BADLY FOR SERENA. LISTEN, SHE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO
THE END, BUT WHEN SHE MADE IT THAT FIRST NIGHT, THAT WAS
GREAT. THEN THE SECOND TIME, AND BY THE
THIRD TIME I GO, "DO WE DARE TO DREAM?
DO WE DARE TO DREAM?" IT DIDN'T WORK OUT BUT I HOPE
SHE IS HOLDING HER HEAD HIGH AND FEELING GOOD BECAUSE SHE CHANGED
THE GAME FOR US ON SO MANY LEVELS, SO MANY LEVELS.
AND STEPHEN, GUYS, SHE FOUGHT, SHE FOUGHT, SHE FOUGHT TO THE
BITTER END. >> Stephen: SURE.
>> SHE REALLY DID. SO I BELIEVE THAT HER NEXT
CHAPTER IN LIFE IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE EVEN BIGGER, DARE I
SAY, THAN WHAT SHE'S ACCOMPLISHED IN TENNIS.
WE WANTS TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY. WE ALL LIKE BABIES.
SHE'S IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. >> NOT A LOT OF CHEERS FOR
BABIES. >> I KNOW.
>> Stephen: WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF BABIES IN THE AUDIENCE.
>> NOT A MORNING SHOW CROWD. >> Stephen: ALL THE BROTHERS
AND SISTERS DON'T LIKE BABIES THAT MUCH.
>> I KNOW. I HAVE HEARD THAT.
OH, NO. >> Stephen: TONY, DO YOU GET
NERVOUS INTERVIEWING PEOPLE. >> I DON'T GET NERVOUS
INTERVIEWING PEOPLE. >> NO, YOU DON'T.
>> THERE'S BEEN A LEARNING CURVE HERE COMING FROM-- I GOT SOME
BIG ASSIGNMENTS ON LOCATION #-R WHEN I FIRST GOT THIS JOB.
I MEAN, REALLY BIG ASSIGNMENTS-- HILLARY CLINTON, J-LO, HARRY
STYLES, BEN STILLER, MIKE CHE, STEVE MARTIN, MARTIN SHORT.
THERE WAS ONE PARTICULAR INTERVIEW-- AND I'M TRYING TO
THINK OF HOW TO TELL THE STORY WITHOUT-- BEING PROFESSIONAL IN
THE PRESENT WHILE REVEALING MY LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM IN THE
PAST. BEAR WITH ME.
WE'RE ON ONE LOCATION. >> THIS IS GOOD.
>> WITH ONE OF THESE BIG FAMOUS PEOPLE.
>> WHO? >> I CANNOT REVEAL.
>> INITIAL. >> Stephen: WHAT DID THIS
PERSON DO FOR A LIVING. >> I CANNOT DISCLOSE MORE.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT THE PERSON DID?
>> THEY WERE A BIG, FAMOUS PERSON.
YOU'LL UNDERSTAND. I NEED TO GET TO THE-- I KNOW
YOU WANT TO SKIP AHEAD -- >> Stephen: IT WAS JULIAN
ASSANGE. >> YEAH, YEAH, THIS BETTER BE A
GOOD STORY. >> NEXT TO THE-- I'M NOT GOING
TO CALL IT A STAGE BUT THE PLACE WHERE THIS PERSON DOES THE THING
THEY DO. THERE WAS A BIG TENT.
IT WAS A MAN-SIZED TENT, TALL, LIKE A PHONE BOOTH.
>> Stephen: SO THIS PERSON WAS A HUMAN.
>> BEING A CURIOUS PERSON, I WAS LIKE I'M GOING TO UNZIP THIS AND
SEE WHAT'S INSIDE. I DID THAT, AND I LOOK INSIDE,
AND THERE'S A POT, THERE'S LIKE A CHAMBER POT.
>> Stephen: NOT A PORT A POTTY BUT A POT.
>> IT'S A PORT A POTTY. IT'S A CAMPING THING.
SO IT'S A PLACE TO PEE. >> I CAN SEE WHY YOU'RE NOT
GIVING THIS PERSON'S NAME. >> IT'S A PEE TENT.
I THOUGHT, OKAY, STARS, THEY'RE JUST LIKE US.
I TAKE A PICTURE OF THE PEE TENT AND I POST IT TO SOCIAL MEDIA.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. THIS IS GOING TO GET ALL KINDS
OF ENGAGEMENT. >> Stephen: ABSOLUTE.
>> I GET A CALL ONE SECOND AFTER THE PICTURE POST FROM THE P.R.
PEOPLE, I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO COME THROUGH THE SKY
LIGHT, KICK THE DOOR, TAKE THE PHONE.
IT WAS LIKE I HAD NUCLEAR SECRETS.
>> Stephen: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WAS THAT MAD AT YOU?
>> THE LESSON I THINK, THE LESSON IS, I TEACH MY SON TEDDY.
EVERYBODY PEES. I WILL TEACH HIS SISTER THE SAME
THING, BUT CELEBRITIES DO NOT. THEY DO NOT PEE.
>> THEY DO, BUT THEY JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> Stephen: HAVE YOU HAD ANY REGRETS, GAFFES.
>> A LONG TIME AGO WHEN I WAS A BABY REPORTER, I WAS ANCHORING
LOCAL NEWS AND I WAS FEELING REALLY GOOD, WEEKEND
ANCHOR/REPORTER AND THE NEWSCAST WAS WRAPPING UP, AND I'M SITTING
THERE VERY STRAIGHT GOING, "WE'LL ALL BE BLACK NEXT
WEEKEND." AND I WAS TRYING TO SAY, "WE'LL
ALL BE BACK NEXT WEEKEND. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
US, ALL BE BACK NEXT WEEKEND." AND I SAID, "WE'LL ALL BE BLACK
NEXT WEEKEND." IS MORTIFIED.
IT TOOK ME FOR A NANOSECOND. PEOPLE GASPED BECAUSE EVERYBODY
IS SO AFRAID OF RACE. IN THAT MOMENT, I SAID, "I'LL
STILL BE BLACK. THE REST OF THESE GUYS WILL BE
BACK."
TO SEE YOU. >> I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU,
STEPHEN. >> Stephen: TONY, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR STOPPING BY. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US NATE
WAS FIND. HE TESTED NEGATIVE TODAY.
>> Stephen: HE COULD HAVE BEEN HERE.
>> NO, NO, I'M THE ATHLETE, I'M THE ATHLETE.
>> WITH CBS PROTOCOL. THEY DON'T PLAY WITH COVID
AROUND. YOU HAVE TO TEST NEGATIVE TWO
CONSECUTIVE NEGATIVE TESTS IN 48 HOURS.
YOU KNOW. >> Stephen: I'VE BEEN THERE.
>> YOU KNOW. >> Stephen: I'VE BEEN THERE
TWICE, ACTUALLY. >> ME, TOO.
YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES. OTHERWISE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN--
ALL THE DAYS FOR HIM TO MIS. >> I THINK HE'LL BE BACK ON THE
SHOW FRIDAY. >> I THINK HE'LL BE BACK MONDAY.
>> YOUR SHOW IS OUR LEAD-IN, SO WE APPRECIATE YOU.
>> YOU DO KNOW YOU MAKE THE "EYE OPENER" A LOT.
>> Stephen: I DON'T MAKE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I CHECK EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND I'M NOT THERE EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> I'D SAY FOUR OUT OF FIVE. >> YOU DON'T CHECK.
>> Stephen: THAT'S TRUE. "CBS MORNINGS" AIRS WEEKDAYS AT
7:00 A.M. GAYLE KING AND TONY DOKOUPIL
EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH ONE OF
THE STARS OF "GASLIT," THE WONDERFUL BETTY GILPIN,
