“Listen, I’m the oldest of four girls. My whole life I wanted a big brother. My whole life. I just saw that people with big brothers were lucky,” King said. “So I always like a firstborn to be a boy, then the second one is a girl. Then you have a big brother that takes care of you. That’s just my own little fantasy.”
King also explained that she doesn’t want to be called “Grandma,” asking DeGeneres for “cool” grandparent nicknames instead.
“How about ‘Miss Lady’?” suggested the comedian, to which King shot down and said, “That’s your assignment … to come up with a cool grandmother name for Gayle.”
