Oprah Winfrey surprises Gayle King for her birthday with unexpected A-list guest:

King was celebrating her 70th birthday on Saturday with friends and family before a surprise guest entered the room - Tyler Perry. 'Someone came to see you,' Oprah, 70, who last weekend threw Gayle a surprise birthday, said, prompting a shocked King to shout and clutch her chest in shock. Perry, 55, playfully scolded Oprah, telling her she needs to 'stop scaring' her friend, before he pulled Gayle in for a warm hug. Oprah, who recently apologized to Gayle for nearly giving her a 'heart attack' after throwing her a surprise birthday party, promised fans she was done shocking her bestie. 'Gayle king’s actual birthday was yesterday December 28 and Tyler perry surprised her for dinner. I’m done with surprises for her after this! Promise,' she captioned the post.

It comes several weeks after King, the star personality at CBS News and editor for Oprah Daily, unknowingly walked into her own early birthday celebration. The internet got a sneak peek into the night after Lauren Sánchez - the 54-year-old former new anchor engaged to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos - shared two posts with her followers on social media. In a video posted to Sánchez's Instagram Stories, at least 100 people were seen standing side-by-side in a posh lounge as they sang 'happy birthday' to the beloved CBS Mornings co-host.

'Happy surprise birthday Gayle king, Oprah you pulled it off,' the caption read, accompanied by a smiley face and red heart emoji. But it wouldn't be a true birthday party without a few tequila shots. Sánchez captured a photo of a wooden, four-level bar cart topped tequila shots dressed in a lime for the taking. Behind the 1.5-ounce glasses stood a small cartoon cut-out of King wearing a yellow dress with a martini in hand.
