Some might not be aware, but CBS This Morning co-host Gayle King grew up in Turkey, and she recalled a funny, fictional story from her childhood there during an appearance last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

And it has to do with Martin Luther King Jr.

King: You guys will like this. There was a time when Martin Luther King Jr. was on the cover of Time magazine and, you know, I'm a little kid. I was, like, in fourth grade, and they said something about Martin Luther King, and i said, "Oh, my uncle Marty!" The teacher said, "Martin Luther King Jr. is your uncle?" And i said "Yes!" So when my parents came for the parent-teacher conference, my teacher said, "Oh my god, Mr. King, it's an honor to meet you. The work your brother is doing…" And my father is going: "Beauregard and Jerome?" My teacher then said, "No, Martin Luther King Jr." My parents just sat there in stunned silence. Of course, I got in trouble. That was my first introduction about it's not good to lie!"

King's CBS This Morning co-host John Dickerson came up in conversation. Colbert is also friends with Dickerson, referred to him as a "choir boy" because of his blue eyes and blond hair. "See you call him a 'choir boy,' Stephen, but John Dickerson is a little mischievous and likes to play," quipped King. Colbert disclosed that Dickerson "likes a cocktail," and King said she is aware that he and Colbert have had some "libations" together.

"He has been great, and I think he has been a really nice addition to us," said King.

King and Colbert also discussed the network's upcoming Royal Wedding coverage, featuring American Meghan Markle, and "grown ass man" Prince Harry (King's words), as well as King's new book Note to Self, which she said is based on a popular CBS This Morning segment.

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

Q: What's it like growing up in Mpls? Does the city have interesting stories about Prince? A: I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it. Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis. I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis. Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows. Prince put us on the map for music. I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota. I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories. I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

My uncle lived with us back in Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement. I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously? When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.) It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do. To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song. I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood. Being a Singer
