Kathie Lee Gifford has been getting a lot of flack from all sides since she moved to NBC to host the fourth hour of The Today Show. She is shrill and overshares. Other crazy women hate her. She’s a ratings killer (the show has dropped 200,000 viewers since she’s joined). And now The New York Times is criticizing her because she talks over her guests and co-host, Hoda Kotb. Come on guys, she’s not as bad as all that. Here are our three favorite things about the KLG:
In what is sure to be one of the most groundbreaking interviews of our time, Joel McHale stopped by Late Night with Conan O'Brien to discuss the really important matters, like the Kardashians and the art of Bedazzling. But what really makes Joel awesome is the fact that he isn't afraid to make comments like this about his own network: "E! will walk into a needle exchange and ask someone if they want their own show." (Which, to be fair, is accurate.)
Apparently it's Joel McHale Day here at Mollygood, and we're OK with that because he trumps the Hogans/Spears/Lohans any day. Joel, who says he sometimes feels like he's "doing the Lord's work," gave an awesome interview with The A.V. Club where he provided many, many gems, chief among them this: "On Flavor Of Love, when a woman took a dump on the stairs, I mean, that's like J.R. being shot on Dallas, or like maybe the last episode of M*A*S*H. It's a milestone on television that's covered with chlamydia."
Seriously, he's our favorite celebrity ever. Click through for lots more. CONTINUED »
I can handle [the spotlight] better now, and I'm wiser. At my age, you give up your thighs but you gain wisdom.

Lock up your kids. Sweatshop baroness Kathie Lee Gifford is returning to television after an eight-year sabbatical during which she whipped Pakistani children with dried lengths of rhinoceros hide from sun up to sun down. Her arm is now tired, so it's back to the airwaves. Starting April 7, Gifford will be teaming up with Hoda Kotb to co-host the very unnecessary fourth hour of the Today show. But no need to watch, she assures everyone she'll be boring: "… we’re not going to reinvent the wheel … " Don't tune in!
