  • Quotes

    • Kathie: I got to go to the White House and had a zit the size of Arkansas.

    • Kathie Lee: To this day I do not believe I'm great at anything.

    • Kathie Lee: What's better than to know your little boy loves his mom?

    • Kathie: I once said the Queen of England could use some fashion advice.

    • Kathie Lee: (About rumours that she airs "Live" braless) Ridiculous! It's extremely cold in our studio, so you could be wearing a steel harness and you'd still have a little action, if you know what I mean. I do not like industrial-strength push-up bras. I wear very flimsy things. Besides, what 46-year old woman who's nursed two kids goes braless?

    • Kathie Lee: I change my hairstyle every day for the show, I'm fastidious and vain about my nails and teeth and grooming and makeup, but a perfect body, forget it. Dust to dust, wuggies to wuggies.

  • IDIOT. I can't believe NBC actually pays her to do what she does. She is so stuck-up, rude, annoying, and disrespectful. You'd think they would want to hire someone who seems at least SOMEWHAT intelligent if they are bringing news stories to viewers.moreless

    I recently started watching nbc in the morning before i have class. I let the news run for a while, and eventually Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb come on the show. They start running stories (most are pretty unimportant) and half the time, these two ladies are either laughing, gasping, screaming, or talking at the same time. And they do all of these loudly and commonly while a video is playing so sometimes you can barely tell what's going on. Hoda, while also not being very good at her job, at least comes off as a nice lady who is just kind ditsy and enthusiastic (which is the reason she's not great). Kathie, however, is a different story. She is straight up rude, obnoxious, loud, disrespectful, and just annoying. She is constantly acting stuck-up and seems to think she has wisdom and intelligence, which she definitely does not. I honestly do not understand how she is paid to do all this by NBC. Its absurd. Why don't they hire someone who actually has something good to add to the show? Who the eff knows...moreless
  • I want to know how Kathy Lee thinks she helped that autistic boy by humiliating him on TV.

    1.5
    She showed how sad and lonely he is and just made him feel worse. I have a son in a similar situation, she has no idea what she just did to him. And what were his parents thinking to let him be humiliated like that? Now everyone knows just how bad he feels, it's disgusting to take advantage like that!!! Seriously!! How about you try to help people instead of making them look like losers! My son has to suffer every day and I would never let anyone put him in that position. Try making him feel good by highlighting good things about him instead of just making the other boy look like a hero. It's great he helped but why does the autistic boy have to look back for him to look good?moreless
