Kathie Lee Gifford joining "Today" show
NEW YORK (AP) -March 31, 2008 Gifford will join anchor Kota Hotb (KOH'-tuh HAHT'-bee) on April
seventh.
Gifford says it's the right time for her to go back to TV
because her children are grown. Her son Cody is going off to
college this fall and her daughter Cassidy is a teenager.
She jokes that she had to get out of the house because she was
tired of watching her husband Frank Gifford's "old highlight films
in black and white."
Gifford also joked about her timing, returning when she's
"eight years older, ten pounds heavier, a half-inch shorter, just
in time for HD television."
Gifford left "Live With Regis and Kathie Lee" eight years ago.
