Gayle is reminding us that TODAY is National Sandwich Day…so, grab a sandwich, turn on OWN and let’s go. For those who can’t, grab your sandwich and start reading…it’s a FUN show. The price of admission is your favorite sandwich…get ready…what’s yours?

•About Waking Up with Willie Geist – Sandwich: Turkey with Swiss and mayo. Nothing else. I’m calling this a “Naked Turkey Swiss.” Gayle’s calling it the “Boring Ass Sandwich.” Gayle wakes up every morning with Willie…and her “Morning Cup of Joe.” Gayle and Willie talk spanking and the beating from the Judge in Texas to his daughter. Just awful. Not at all our finest. Gayle and Willie are like old friends…so easy…talking about anything and everything today….from lucky silly bands, to the news, to her 50 Cent tattoo, to music and more. Playing word association…just too much fun.

•About Apolo Ono – Adorning a bandanna for the guest, Gayle is looking Apolo fashionable today. Apolo talks about “Dancing with the Stars,” and tries to convince Gayle that there is no public humiliation. Gayle says she’s still getting the requests…and she’s still turning them down. A+ ABC for the persistence. “It was an amazing experience…overcame a lot of insecurities,” Apolo tells us. And now we find out…he’s a marathon runner. Is there nothing he can’t do? Good luck Apolo! Oh…and your price of admission? Apolo’s sandwich of choice – A Subway Special – Double Meat Turkey, Banana Peppers, Spinach….

•About Nile Rodgers and his new book – Writing his autobiography, “Le Freak,” Nile Rodgers has an amazing career list of songs and a roller-coaster journey that sounds like played out in his life. Music made him feel a part of something…and the path for him. And him sandwich of choice? Lettuce wrapped Boar’s Head Spicy Buffalo Chicken/Turkey with Tomatoes. No bread…hmmmm

•About Tom Colicchio and SANDWICHES and Top Chef too! – Ok, well he’s talking “Top Chef” but all I can think about is a sandwich. Tom talks about the shows, the process and the walking into a restaurant and who he likes to cook for. But for the good stuff…take a look below at Tom’s favorite sandwiches…so many…so yummy. Here we go. Tom’s choices – Not just a sammy but a dish in a restaurant. We have a Pear, Smoked ham, Gruyere Cheese and Mustard sandwich….A Basil, Black Olives and Motz., and Gayle’s Favorite – Turkey, Avocado, Bacon and Balsamic Relish. YUM!!!

And today’s final thought…PEOPLE, when you go on to the Gayle King Show…she’s going to talk about your book, movie, show, restaurant, subway deal, etc… Don’t try so hard. Gayle takes care of you…so calm down and be yourself and for goodness sake, don’t be a pusher. We all know that you are there to talk about something…it’s much better if it comes from you naturally…otherwise, you just make yourself look way too eager…Gayle’s good…just go with it and relax. Matter o’fact…have a bite of sandwich or two…chill…and enjoy your day!
