Kathy Lee Gifford just annoys me to no end, but I can’t exactly put my finger on the reason why.
There is sort of a “fake” sincerity about her that is very transparent, but she is hardly the only person on television to be like that.
Why is it that I cannot change the channel fast enough when she appears on television? What is it exactly that maker her so really, really annoying?
The list of things that are not annoying about her would be much shorter, but much harder to compile.
So, short answer, everything is annoying about Kathie Lee Gifford.
She reminds me of my sister - which is perhaps why I am not around either of them.
Her self-righteousness doesn’t help.
The problem I’ve always had with her is that she seems so desperately in need of attention.
When she was younger she was HOT.
Um… dunno what that has to do with her being annoying though.
A number of years ago, there was a poll asking people who was the Most Repulsive Person on TV. KLG won by a landslide.
The most annoying thing about Kathy Lee Gifford is Kathy Lee Gifford.
She can’t shut up. That, and the fact that she’s so NOT FUNNY. She thinks she’s hilarious, but I’m not feelin’ it.
She always strikes me as The Perkiest Mom In the McMansion Cul-de-sac. Just so out of touch with what people really do and think and feel.
Kalhoun has it right. KLG is just so goddam happy all the time. And it’s always so shallow and flighty. She like the shill on an infomercial who is REALLY EXCITED AND AMAZED by the cleaning power of the new detergent. Only, she seems to be like that all the time without a break and the scary part is that it looks like she’s not acting. That’s her true self.
I think it’s the lack of personality, except just being peppy all the time. There’s no quirkiness to her.
Someone should find a cure for that. We could even have a telethon to raise money for research. Have folks like Denis Leary, Lewis Black, George Carlin, and Penn Gillette hosting.
I dunno. If we locked Kathy Lee Gifford, Denis Leary, Lewis Black, George Carlin and Penn Gillette in a room together and went away for a couple of hours, I think we’d come back to find four of them dead, Kathy Lee unfortunately not one of them.
Nah, we’d leave Kathy in the lab, hooked up to all kinds of electroshock gear, and do “remotes” of her location. 
One thing that I’ve always liked about KLG is that she seems a bit racy and raunchy in the high society, 5 o’clock martini, way. I’ll bet she uses the f-word a lot outside of polite company and I’ll bet she’s a demon in bed.
I met a cameraman who actually worked with her, and I asked him what is she really like? His response: The biggest bitch I ever met.
heh. soooo glad to learn i’m not the only one who can’t change the channel fast enough…
annie-xmas - why am i not suprised to hear that? there’s something about her that positively screams the word.
back when the earth was still cooling, i had to work (once) with mary ann mobley in connection with the 500 festival parade here in indianapolis. she and the hubby (forget his name but he was very nice) were the parade marshals. talk about a bitch in high heels… hands down, the nastiest, coldest individual i’ve ever had to interact with. i was a production assistant with the festival office. after her, i decided promotion was a career i could happily pass on. :rolleyes:
watching KLG is like watching someone on the high end of a manic-depressive swing - who never comes down. if i had to work with her, too, i’d probably snap her neck.
No need for direct personal violence. As a Production Assistant you’d have plenty of her cups of coffee passing through your hands. Just imagine the possibilities.
I think that there’s also the element of her alleged singing talents. If you have ever seen the Princess Cruise or whatever commercial that she sings, you’ll notice that she can’t carry a tune. On the Regis and Kathy Lee show, one would constantly hear about her marvellous singing, and she would humbly accept the accolades. I still have no idea of who would ever produce a record with her on it.
When I was in college, I watched Regis and Kathy Lee religiously. I told everyone because I needed something on in the background while I crawled out of bed (at, like, 10 in the morning), but really it was because I wanted to be there when Reege finally snapped and tore that harpy’s blackened heart out with his bare hands.
I think it’s because she acts all nice and friendly, but her bitchiness just oozes out of every pore. She is like the ultimate in hypocrasy and phoniness.
