Kathie Lee Gifford apologizes for Martin Short interview gaffe
Veteran comedian and actor Martin Short appeared on the Today Show for a little sit down interview with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. What ensued was one of the most uncomfortable moments in recent live TV history. Short was on to promote the well reviewed new film Madagascar 3 when Kathie Lee asked Short, “And you and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?” What Gifford was not aware of was that Short’s lovely wife, Nancy Dolman, died in August 2010 from ovarian cancer. See the clip in question that includes further cringe-worthy moments, see how Short managed the situation with professionalism and grace and hear and see Giffords’ later apologies.
