Kathie Lee Gifford Calls Out 'Viciousness' on 'The View'

Her comments on Tomi Lahren’s podcast revive scrutiny of the show’s sharper tone.

Overview

  • Kathie Lee Gifford said there is a new “viciousness” in television discourse, citing The View as an example compared with earlier, friendlier appearances she made with Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg.
  • She emphasized that she shares her faith without proselytizing, noting she does not tell people they will “go to hell.”
  • Gifford described today’s media climate as “sad,” saying “everybody seems like they’re just miserable people now,” while calling herself “joy personified.”
  • Her remarks were made March 9 on Tomi Lahren’s Tomi Lahren Is Fearless podcast as she promoted her new book, Nero & Paul.
  • Reports note The View’s current lineup includes Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin, and outlets said the show did not provide a comment in response.
