Look Out, Kelly -- Kathie Lee Is Comin' for Ya!

Posted Mar 11th 2008 3:29PM by TMZ Staff

Kathie Lee GiffordThe rumors are true -- sources tell TMZ that Kathie Lee Gifford is definitely going to be the new co-host of the 10:00 AM hour at "Today."

Gifford previously hosted "Live With Regis and Kathie Lee" for 15 years, but left in the year 2000. "Today" is on a ratings surge lately -- February sweeps was its second-best since 2004.

A rep for "Today" tells us, "We think Kathie Lee is a tremendous talent, but we have nothing to announce."

If you could see her now!

31. If they let this ditz back on the air they are going to drop in the ratings, Today does not need this wacko, I hope this isn't true. I can't stand the sound of this broad's voice and she is about as phony as you can get.

33. They didn't like her in theater and on Broadway, but somehow the bigwigs think people will like her back on TV. Maybe when the "Today" show ratings start to tank, the Powers That Be will wake up and realize what a stupid blunder it was to bring back this woman that, frankly, no one even cares about anymore. KLG's time is over and the PWB need to wake up and realize that no one really wants to see her back on TV.

37. You go girl. so many here are so nasty--- yet you let rosie and her little co--horts take so many down on the view. I will take 100 Kathy Lees-- to one rosie or whoopie ( dippie doo) any day.

39. she's so self absorbed. I'm sure she misses being in the limelight.. Good luck on a return that's destined for failure!

40. Tam-- I guess you are talking about Rosie odonnel or Whoopie- right?

41. Can we just round up Kathy Lee Gifford, Rosie O' Donnell, and Rachael Ray and put them in a boat and send them off to Camp Annoying Women on some island somewhere?

44. anikiel--No, I was talking about Kathie Lee Gifford, the woman the story is about. But I guess that could apply to Rosie, too. Whoopie is OK.

45. PLEASE!! WE DON'T WANT TO SEE THAT EGO MANIC AGAIN. SHE HAS NOTHING TO GIVE AND SHE IS OLD, AND CERTAINLY HAS NO TALENT. DON'T MAKE THE PUBLIC SUFFER BY PUTTING HER BACK ON TV.
