Gayle King reacts to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover debut

"CBS Mornings" co-anchor Gayle King was surprised to learn that she's among the cover stars for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's special 60th anniversary edition. Fellow cover models Kate Upton and Hunter McGrady revealed the news to King following an interview on the show Tuesday morning, prompting applause from an excited King.

"I'm on the cover?" exclaimed King, as Upton handed her a copy of the magazine. "They told me I was just going to be on the inside."

"This is real," said "CBS Mornings" co-anchor Nate Burleson, who congratulated King on officially becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl. He encouraged King to take it in the moment as King looked at the cover.

"It goes to say - sexy isn't an age. Sexy isn't a size. Look how beautiful you look. That's so inspiring to women of all ages," said McGrady, pointing to the cover. "Yes girl, you did that."
