One year after Kathie Lee Gifford quit her gig hosting the fourth hour of the “Today” show, she is reportedly “seriously talking” abut making her television comeback with her very own talk show.
Insiders close to Gifford told The Sun that she “knows what she’d want the show to look and be like,” and that she is now working on the specific details.
“Kathie Lee is seriously talking about a return to TV but not aiming to go back to another morning show again,” one source said. “She wants to do a talk show, with a male cohost, and she already has one in mind. Kathie Lee knows what she’d want the show to look and be like but is trying to figure out a network/home for it now.”

At 67 years of age, Gifford said that she is busier than ever these days, something that she feels keeps her young.
“If you decide your life is over then it is,” Gifford said, adding that she feels “strong,” “healthy” and “renewed inside.”
“I feel 30 years old, truly,” she said, according to E! Online. “When somebody goes, ‘You’ve had too much work done.’ I take it as a compliment. I said, ‘Haven’t had any work. I’ve been working!'”
Gifford also said that she has been “so busy” since she left her gig hosting the fourth hour of the “Today” show a year-and-a-half ago. In fact, she’s been on the go so much that her departure from the NBC morning show “seems like yesterday.”
“I don’t even know what the day of the week is anymore since I left the TODAY show,” she explained. “I don’t know what time it is, I don’t know anything. I don’t know my last name.”
However, Gifford made sure to add that her busy schedule is a “good thing” because she loves chasing her dreams.
“Life is fragile and life is temporal and it’s gonna end for all of us someday,” she concluded. “I don’t want to waste one more moment of my life.”
This comes after Gifford revealed that she believes her late cohost Regis Philbin was “depressed” because of COVID-19 before he died back in July at the age of 88.
“He had been depressed in the weeks and months earlier, because of the COVID,” she said, according to People magazine. “Regis couldn’t perform anywhere, nobody was out and about, he couldn’t be Regis for people, you know.”
