Kathie Lee Gifford joins Raymond Arroyo for a candid, inspiring episode of Arroyo Grande. A four-time Emmy winner, she reflects on her decades with Regis Philbin and Hoda Kotb, her surprising role in helping Jimmy Kimmel launch his late-night show, and why she believes today’s entertainment culture has lost its kindness and authenticity.

Kathie Lee opens up about the joys and struggles that shaped her life—from her groundbreaking partnership with Regis to the painful scandals surrounding Frank Gifford, and ultimately his passing. She shares how faith gave her the strength to endure, why she calls cancel culture a “cancer,” and how grace, forgiveness, and miracles have guided her through heartbreak and healing.

Warm, funny, and unflinchingly honest, Kathie Lee reminds us why she remains one of America’s most beloved voices. Whether you remember her mornings with Regis or her years alongside Hoda, you’ll be inspired by her humor, resilience, and unwavering trust in God’s plan.
