Kathie Lee Gifford Interviews Martin Short & Asks How His Deceased Wife Is Doing - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 05-30-2012, 11:24 PM

Martin Short appeared on the TODAY show Wednesday morning to promote Madagascar 3 and things took a turn for the worse when Kathie Lee Gifford asked Martin how his wife is doing — who died in 2010.

"And you and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?" Kathie Lee asked on live television, not realizing the error of her ways.

"We, uhhh, have married 36 years," Martin graciously responded.

"But you're still like, in love," Kathie Lee continued.

"Madly in love, madly in love," Martin said.

Later realizing the gaffe, Kathie Lee took to her Twitter account after the show with a message to Martin:

"I send my sincerest apologies to @MartinShort and his family. He handled situation w/enormous grace and kindness and I'm so grateful."

Proving once again why I think the first three hours of the Today Show are far superior. At least Martin Short showed how classy he is by letting the comments slide by despite the fact that he was obviously uncomfortable during that interview.

Kathie needs to do her homework next time.

Kathie Lee is very self absorbed. She was probably too worried about how she looked on camera to concentrate on the person she was interviewing. Martin Short, on the other hand, is a class act.

Kathie Lee and Hoda is a Fun hour of television.
