Rhondinella April 24, 2014 Author Share April 24, 2014 What I find both amusing and somewhat baffling is when her career started, way back in the day, her image was the clean-cut, Christian girl-next-door. Not saying that was necessarily the way she was in life, but she did come from that background and that's what was played up in her public persona. And now she's getting drunk on national TV and promoting her own blend of the Devil's Brew. Not saying it's bad or wrong, just a very interesting trajectory to me. But then . . . .

The one thing you have to admit is that despite ACTING like a loon/clown/totally ugh-worthy person, she's not a bad looking woman.

I think when you have a 60 year old woman (even if she doesn't always want to act like it on-screen), you need to bring in some much younger person for segments like that and if you MUST have KLG around, milk her ignorance purely for comedy. If all she does is stand there looking disengaged, it ain't working (and decade younger Hoda standing next to her isn't really the total fix--if you have to park Kathie's ass offscreen for a few minutes during those segments then do so). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3561-kathie-lee-gifford/#findComment-291504
