Kathie Lee Joins Today Show

NBC’s The Today Show just announced this morning that Kathie Lee Gifford is joining the team. Her first day will be on April 7 and she’ll be hosting the fourth hour of the show. No, there was not a fourth hour before, so this is all new. Wow, four hours. I thought three was enough. Kathie Lee’s last hosting gig was with Regis Philbin in Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. She had some controversy in the 1990s when she was accused of running sweatshops for her line of clothes under Wal-Mart. That controversy tarnished her career, I think, but she’s bounced back from it, obviously. I do remember how much she talked about her kids when she was on with Regis. She talked about them A LOT! Well, just in case you care, there’s a new person you can watch during your morning TV fun. Who knows, you might become a fan.
