Kathie Lee Gifford Is A Consummate Journalist

There are many reasons why I love absolute mess Kathie Lee Gifford (Side Note: If Kathie Lee Gifford was a brand of vodka, she's be Absolut Mess.) and the clip above is one of them. Kathie Lee Gifford's job is to interview guests and to read facts about her guests on a card given to her by an intern who did a 5-second Wiki search on said guest. But who needs facts? Who needs research? Who needs all of that? If the fact card isn't liquefied down, fermented in a barrel for years and then poured into a clear wine bottle, Kathie Lee wants nothing to do with it. That's just her style of journalism and I'm all about it. So because of this, Kathie Lee's drunk ass had no idea that Martin Short's wife has been dead since 2010 when she asked him how long they've been married during an interview on Today this morning.

Kathie Lee went on and on like she's best friends with Martin and his wife. Like they go antiquing and bed and breakfast-ing each weekend. Kathie Lee told Hoda that Martin and his wife have one of the greatest marriages in the business that is show and then she asked him, "How many years now for you guys?” Martin played along, because being in show business for so long taught him how to deal with morning time drunks. Don't screw with their buzz and calmly watch as their train of thought crashes into the side of a building.

After the commercial, Kathie Lee put on her best sober face and apologized for not knowing that Martin's wife died of ovarion cancer in 2010. Kathie Lee said that during the break, Martin took her aside and broke the news to her. Martin then told Kathie that his wife "would've wanted to keep the conversation going." As Martin walked away from Kathie, he said under his breath, "keep the conversation going with a professional in rehab, because you're a drunk bitch of a mess."

What people are failing to notice is that Kathie pointed out the error herself! A more stuck up (but well accepted by this forum) celebrity would've just skimmed over her mistake....kudos to Kathie for being so gracious and apologizing immensely after being made aware of the blunder.

Also, her husband did cheat on her- so what? How many people (celebs and non celebs) get cheated on and immediately push for a divorce, only to move on to another failed marriage? She felt her marriage vows meant something, and wanted to work on their relationship.

Seems all a person has to do is espouse conservative values/morals and libs are ready to fry them over the smallest non-issue.

Your memory seems to be quite faulty.

Why shouldn't Kathie Lee apologize on air? She made a HUGE and cruel mistake AND pretended they were friends! She also TWEETED an apology to the WRONG Martin Short.

Kathie Lee told the rag they were "lying" about Frank cheating, which is why she got so much slack. She ran off her mouth and looked like an ass.

I don't care about Kathie Lees "values" or her political leanings. She was unprofessional and stupid. She did not do her job and has a history of doing that shit.

What a real trooper he was. It was a great example at how keeping your cool and keep it going is so important. He was not going to gain anything in embarrassing dumb-as-dirt Kathie Lee. In fact, he must have been baffled at first, but realized how fun it would have been to act like his beloved lady was still with him and joking how she loves him today.

Feel terrible for Martin however. I'm sure he misses his wife dearly.

Truly awful. Very unprofessional, to say the least. She should have known this. Poor Martin, he handed the situation better than I would have. I would have been upset. I wouldn't have played along, I would have said we WERE married for 36 years.

She is the worst.

He was SO funny back on SCTV and SNL. I loved his Jackie Rogers Jr and Ed Grimley characters-- and then Nathan Therm ("Is it me or is it him? It's him isn't it?"), and the water ballet skit, "I'm not a very *strong* swimmer...." I watched those shows religiously because of him.

Aw man, that just must've felt so weird to go along with her dumb-ass questions and comments. He seemed to roll with it pretty easily.

Jiminy Glick has to be one of THE BEST quickest and funniest improving character EVER. I youtubed a bunch just the other night and was crying laughing.
I've loved Martin ever since his SCTV days here in Canada. SCTV blew SNL out of the water IMO. John Candy, Dave Thomas, Andrea Martin, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Joe Flerhaty, Catherine O'Hara, and Martin Short all young bucks just starting out. That was pure gold.

How old is Frank Gifford? He has to be pushing 90. Does anyone remember some rag catching him screwing a stewardess? Kathie Lee swore they were making it up and they got photos! Man that shit was priceless. If I was Martin Short, I would have asked about that and been like Jimny Glick. Heck, Kathie Lee is the perfect example of what Martin Short was making fun of with Glick. Oh the irony!

When Frank Gifford dies next week, let's send a DListed bagel basket with a card that celebrates their anniversary. Even if you don't like Martin Short, check him out as Martina Navralitova (sp?) in her fake "30 Love" Foot Spray commercial (the shit is on YouTube). He's great....what a gentleman.

I've always wondered what kind of grotesque, degrading sexual slave-play this Kathie Lee person volunteered for in order to get on/stay on TV for so long. This incident just adds a new dimension of depravity to my musings, obviously.

***********************************

Damn, that's well put: "grand faux overfamiliarity" absolutely nails it.

It's like when that rapist Kennedy cousin was on trial and she kept saying "The press is out to get us!" as if SHE were a Kennedy because Frank's son married one (or something--I know there's some connection there). Just a complete fucking fraud.

I don't know how she could know and make a comment about his amazingly amazing, long-lasting marriage and not know that she had died! How do you know one factoid and not the other?

I thought MS had a rep for being not-so-nice. Maybe I made that up. Regardless, good for him. He looked relatively unshaken but you can imagine how his heart must have totally sunk (sank?) when she started her yammering. :(

Shame Martin didn't get teary eyed and mention the fact that his wife died. THAT would have shut that b*tch Kathy Lee up!

Kudos to him for being such a gentlemen. I recall reading about his wife's passing, they had been married for 30+ years I think :(

I didn't know his wife had died but then again am not the one interviewing him. She should have done her research especially because she went on and on about his wife. At least Martin Short was a class act about this very awkward situation.

I'll say.

Don't they also have producers that do the leg work for them? I mean, isn't this a problem that goes deeper than Gifford? I thought they had people that fielded questions with the celebrities before they are interviewed.

Anyway, poor guy. He was classy about it.
