King's co-hosts, Nate Burleson and Tony Dokoupil, both audibly reacted to the news -- and King's reveal. "I won't get too graphic," King continued."But needless to say, she ended up in the hospital dehydration and had to get an IV. It was a very serious thing. She's OK... she will be OK." Noticing that she may have shared too much information, King reiterated how much her pal wanted to be there to celebrate the author.
"I hope she's not mad at me for sharing that detail," King added."I wanted to make it clear though it mattered to her and it really bothered her that she couldn't be here today, but we will pick up the slack." King, Burleson and Dokoupil continued the conversation with the author, who was previously selected for Oprah's Book Club in 2008. "@oprah was scheduled to go on @cbsmornings today to announce her latest @oprahsbookclub selection. When she came down with a stomach virus over the weekend, @gayleking—being the best friend she is—offered to make the announcement for her," the caption read.
