What 'Today' Star Kathie Lee Gifford Is Up to Now After Leaving the Show


        Kathie Lee Gifford left the Today show on Friday, April 5.

        After her last day, KLG moved to Nashville, Tennessee where she bought a new home.

        Jenna Bush Hager replaced Kathie Lee for Today's fourth-hour program.

        Kathie Lee Gifford will appear on Today with Hodi and Jenna on November 12 to give an

Update on her life.

Today show star Kathie Lee Gifford jumped on a plane and headed south after April 5 — a.k.a. her last day on the NBC morning program.
As reported by The Tennessean this past spring, Kathie Lee purchased a home (through her company, Widow's Peak Pictures) in Franklin, Tennessee, located about 20 miles south of Nashville. In August, KLG was spotted hanging out in her new town.

“Even if you’re just having a dinner party there, invariably people end up at your piano or taking your guitar off the wall, and next thing you know, you’ve written a song and you’re in the studio the next week doing a demo,” Kathie Lee previously told People about her decision to relocate.

Why did she leave New York? Kathie Lee previously said that her gig co-hosting with Hodi Kolb was the only thing keeping her in the Northeast. Since her husband Frank Gifford's death in 2015, and her mom's passing in 2017, Kathie Lee has felt "lonely" over the past few years. Her two kids — Cody, 29, and Cassidy, 25 — currently live in Los Angeles.

“The work that I want to do isn’t here anymore,” Kathie Lee revealed to the outlet about living in New York City and her home in Greenwich, Connecticut. “I am an artist, I’m an actress, I’m a writer, I’m a songwriter, a director now. That’s the stuff that feeds my soul and I know that I’m running out of time to do those things.”

Jenna Bush Hager ended up replacing Kathie Lee on the fourth hour of Today, and the feedback surrounding the decision has been nothing but positive, including from Kathie Lee herself.

"You keep trusting your instincts and you’re going to sit next to the best person in the whole world because she has your back," Kathie Lee told Jenna in February. "Because she has your heart. It’s going to be fun. You guys are going to have a ball.”
