It’s not the first time there’s been a stunning revelation on the show that reveals the genealogy of celebrities. Last year, Kerry Washington found out she was conceived through a sperm donor. Edward Norton discovered Pocahontas is an ancestor of his. Even “CBS Evening News” anchor and managing editor Norah O’Donnell and “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King learned about their family’s history on the show.
