Please take her off. I really love the Today show and I am sick you are adding her to the show! Her personality, voice, everything about her really turns me off!!!!

[patrizia]

why, why, why? she is so annoying. how could you think that your viewers would want her on. all you have to do is look at the videos from regis and see her odd faces and the voice from?

[purplesvv]

I totally agree. Take Kathie Lee off the Today show. She is all about herself and is totally annoying. I will not be watching anymore.

[Annoyed]

Kathie Lee needs to go...I cannot tell you how many times I thought "would you just shut up" while watching her speak over the past couple of days...

[sulyda]

I have tried watching Today with Kathie Lee and find myself remembering why I didnt watch Regis and her years ago. She is so annoying and doesnt let Hoda geta full sentence out before she is talking over her.I will

[jillian]

Kathie Lee is a media wh@re...Get rid of her!

[Our You Kidding Me]

She's Back T.V. Gave Me A Rope So I Can Hang Myself. That Women Is So Annoying

What did poor Hoda do at the Today Show to deserve Kathie Lee Gifford? Watching Kathie Lee Gifford is like knowing the last bit of milk in the carton is sour, but you smell it anyway. It goes for train wrecks too.

POOR FRANK REALLY GOT SADDLED WITH THE WORST OF HIS THREE WIVES. WHEN HE WAS 56 AND GOT REMARRIED FOR THE THIRD TIME, HE WAS HOPING FOR A WIFE THAT WOULD PUT HIM FIRST, CARE FOR HIM AND LOVE HIM.

WHAT DID HE GET? A WIFE THAT PUT CAREER FIRST AND USED FRANK IN HER ACT. POOR FRANK HAS REALLY SUFFERED IN SILENCE AND ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS AND NOT WANTING TO FAIL A THIRD TIME AT MARRIAGE. POOR GUY SHOULD HAVE HAD A MARRIAGE CONTRACT. BUT HE WILL ALWAYS BE A FRIEND OF OURS. WE JUST FEEL SO SORRY FOR HIM THAT HE HAS SUFFERED WITH KATHIE FOR SO MANY YEARS. SHE'S THE ONE WITH THE VERY DIFFICULT PERSONALITY. SHE'S POWER AND MONEY HUNGRY.

Kathie Lee, fresh from a "discounted" face lift from DR. Pilly Pardo (Michael Jacksons disgraced ex-Plastic surgeon" fielded reporters questions this morning as to "why she looks like a "pekeneese dog" and why her "eyballs look "popped out" . Thr resilient Kathie Lee, unperturbed , smiled for the cameras and remarked to her press agent Don King "Do they hate me"????Do they?????

I have tried to give Kathy Lee the benefit of the doubt but could not get through the first few minutes of the "fourth" hour of the Today Show. I watched the show on a regular basis, but will not tune in any longer. Kathy Lee is annoying and so into herself. Why didn't you leave the show as it was. Very disappointing.

[amm]

Ugg. I tried. The fourth hour of today is officialy painful. Kathy Lee is so over the top. As a 38 year old mother I cannot relate to her in any way shape or form. These are times of "going green", finding precious time, saving money, getting through the economy etc... and we have to listen to how annoyed KL gets when women don't have fresh manicures and pedicures???? She is not helpful, not entertaining and in no way compliments Hota. I'm sorry for Hota... she hasn't completed a sentence since KL has arrived.

[inyourdreams]

I've been on a campaign to "Get Kmee off TV". If just one person writes the sponsors for the 11th hour I bet it will work. So all you all who can't stand her Y not send your thoughts to either sponsors or email [e-mail]. Let 'em know how you feel.

[anon]

I use to be a huge fan of the today show, however when kathie lee entered the family, that all changed. I can't stand to wathch it when she is on. I feel bad for huta. That poor woman is lucky to get a word in with kathy at her side. Today needs to get her out of there. She puts people down and doesn't sensor her opinions. She's loud and obnoxious...get over yourself, because we are so over you.

Kathie Lee is ruining this show! Hoda is great, and Kathie Lee just takes over and doesn't let her finish a sentence! She is way too into herself! We want to hear about the shows topics, but Kathie just talks over everyone and I miss half the point.

[Kathie Lee Fan]

Why does everybody hate Kathie Lee? Are they jealous? She's a good caring woman and people just can't stand a successful decent person, especially a woman!!!!!

Frank was the one who had the affair. Lay off of Kathie Lee.

I completely agree!!!! Now I don't watch the show at all because I'm so aggravated that she is on there.

[Why I Hate Today]

I used to be a huge, loyal fan of the Today Show. Hiring KLG killed it for me. I can not watch her, and have lost all respect for the show.

[Robin]

Kathie Lee is the most self centered annoying women on tv. Poor Hoda. Get rid of Kathie Lee and bring back Anne and the other gals.

I Agree with what everyone has said about how
stupid, ignorant and obnoxious Katthie Lee is.
She certainly does not belong out in public view.
When can she leave the the Today show and retire
permanently?
