Kathie Lee Gifford

Kathie Lee Gifford is perhaps best known for her extensive work as a talk show host. Her career began in earnest when she served as Anne Abernathy’s replacement as the co-host for The Morning Show in 1985. Throughout the years, she has become one of television’s most recognizable figures with hosting roles for Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee. Gifford has been nominated for Emmy Awards a couple of times and won her first in 2010.

In 2008, the TV personality joined NBC’s Today show alongside Hoda Kotb during the fourth hour. After a year, she helped raise Today’s viewership ratings by 13%. Outside of talk shows, Gifford has also worked in a number of movies and other television programs. She has also made significant real estate investments over the years, alongside her late husband, former football player Frank Gifford.
