Kathie Lee Gifford, 69, Finally Finds Her ‘Dream Job’

Kathie Lee Gifford admitted that she finally found her “dream job” after all these years. In a new interview, she talked about her true calling. The former daytime talk show host takes part in a new film called The Way, which is based on the companion book, The God of the Way.

While most people miss Kathie Lee on television, she wouldn’t have it any other way. Being a talk show host wasn’t her true calling. She feels that the work that she does with God is what brings her fullness in life. It also brought her one step closer to her new career.

Kathie Lee Gifford doesn’t miss the talk show circuit

Kathie Lee Gifford would rather be on the other side of the receiving end in this new interview with ET’s Rachel Smith. She revealed that being on Live or Today wasn’t her “dream job.” It’s a question that she gets asked a lot. She finally found her calling after all these decades.

“So many people, when I left the show with Regis [Philbin], after 15 unbelievable years with him, 11 years with Hoda [Kotb], they all said, ‘How could you leave your dream job? Twice at the height of its success?'” Kathie Lee Gifford revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “And I go, ‘ You’re just assuming that it was my dream job. They never were. My dream job is what I’m doing now. Right now, at the age of 69, as of yesterday.'”

The pop culture icon admitted that it’s something she’s wanted to do all her life. She stars in the new film, which will premiere in theaters via Fathom Events. It shares the stories from the Bible in a contemporary way, by including powerful visuals, narrations, and music.

Country superstar Jimmie Allen and gospel singer BeBe Winans also lend their voices to the film. Kathie Lee has been a singer for much of her life. She made her start as an entertainer and contemporary singer. However, this is something she felt she needed to share with the masses.

Kathie Lee Gifford’s book, The God of the Way, touches on the same stories that are captured in the film. It focuses on the men and women from the Bible who followed their own callings and changed the world. Kathie Lee hopes that readers and viewers will take away from this movie that God has a special calling for their life. It’s a message that’s important for her to send in the light of “cancel culture.”

“Here’s the thing, it’s not because I’m special,” Kathie Lee Gifford explained. “God wants to do that for everybody who believes in him. Every one of his children. This cancel culture that’s in the world today is the most evil thing I’ve ever heard of in my life. It’s the antithesis of the way God sees his children and sees this world that he created for his glory, not ours.”

Kathie Lee feels that God loves everyone equally, no matter what. She wants to spend her final years on this planet sharing that love. Kathie Lee Gifford’s film The Way and the companion book, The God of the Way, premiere on September 1.
