Kathie Lee Gifford at 70: Defiantly Responds to Age Critics
Kathie Lee Gifford finally broke the silence and answered to her haters who kept putting her down by passing negative comments, especially about her age.
Kathie Lee appeared on Wednesday, July 17 with Hoda Kotb for the purpose of promoting her new book Herod and Mary: The True Story of the Tyrant King and the Mother of the Risen Savior.
During the episode, Hoda, the NBC personality, told the viewers, “Our dear friend, Kathie Lee Gifford, is here. She worked in this beautiful building with me for 11 years.” Kathie Lee Gifford Upset Over Regis Philbin Headlines as a Result of Kelly Ripa’s Book, What’s the Point?
Not only did people pass negative comments on her but some were her true fans who admired her the most so they praised her for who is she.
She said to her haters, “Who cares! She’s getting old And you know what, so are all of you — at the exact same pace; one second at a time. So don’t talk about how old I look!”
She admitted during the episode that she never thought about experiencing such a booming career in show business just weeks ahead of her 71st birthday next month.
She welcomed her children Cassidy and Cody Gifford with her late husband Frank Gifford said, “I never set out to be famous. My daddy used to say to me when I was growing up, ‘Honey, find something you’d love to do and then figure out a way to get paid for it.’ And for me, coming into a studio, then sitting down and just talking and being authentic was not work, especially if it was with Regis or Hoda.”

The Live With Regis and Kathie Lee alum said, “Yeah, but not for the better. I never wanted to be famous. I was never the prettiest girl who tried out for a job. I was never the smartest. I wasn’t the best actress. I was never the best singer. I was never, ever, the best, but I worked the hardest, quite frankly. I worked my tush off, and I was always kind to everybody.”
Since her departure from Today in April 2019, Kathie Lee has enjoyed numerous wonderful experiences, including the arrival of her three beloved grandchildren, Frankie, Ford, and Finn.
Kathie Lee revealed, “Truly what makes me so happy is watching my children. Cody and Cassidy are both so much in love with their spouses. They are such unbelievable parents. To watch them love each other and the babies just brings me such joy.”
When asked what she is most grateful for, Kathie Lee highlighted her fans, appreciating their unwavering support.
