KATHIE LEE GIFFORD

Kathie Lee Gifford has received 11 Daytime Emmy nominations for her work on TV, which is not a surprise considering she is multi-talented. She was a long-time host of the talk show Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee, where she spent 15 years and co-hosted with Regis Philbin. She also had an 11-year run with the Today show.

Kathie Lee supposedly left Today so that she could pursue a career in acting, directing, and even producing. She subsequently starred in the movie Then Came You, where she acted opposite Craig Ferguson. As a widow, she intends to make more movies about losing loved ones, especially spouses. She believes that movies like that are underrepresented in Hollywood. To a degree, we agree with that as there are more action and romantic-comedy movies out there. She could start a trend that could catch on someday.
