Do you enjoy watching a bit of daytime TV? If you do, then the chances are that you’ve probably heard of Kathie Lee Gifford. As a former host of Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee, and current host of Today’s fourth hour alongside Hoda Kotb, Gifford has racked up twenty-five years presenting talk shows. That’s more than most of her predecessors have ever managed, and few people have found such sustained success on two separate shows. Kathie Lee Gifford is now one of the most familiar faces on TV, but it turns out that she’s also had a pretty eventful life outside of her career.
Indeed, the talk show host’s life is not necessarily as great as it appears on the surface. Although she’s wowed the nation through TV, music and writing, there have been moments in Gifford’s life that aren’t as uplifting as her career might make it seem. Throughout her life, she’s suffered through dark times that have threatened to bring her down. Just recently, Gifford went into more depth about these with some shocking new revelations. We didn’t realize that this TV legend had suffered quite so much, but this revealing insight into her life has opened our eyes.

While Kathie Lee may be best known as a television host, she’s never given up on her love for singing. Over the last three decades, she’s released more than a dozen albums, starting with 1992’s Sentimental Journey. Although she hasn’t brought out a new album since 2010, she has been spending a lot of her time contributing her talent to various theatre productions. She wrote the musical The Life and Trials of Aimee Semple McPherson which featured on Broadway for several weeks in 2012, and most recently began work on a musical adaptation of It’s A Wonderful Life.
