It's good to have someone you can relate to on TV.
Most people on TV seem very young. Very. Young.
That's why I occasionally catch the last hour of the Today Show. Kathie Lee Gifford is not very young. We are pretty much contemporaries.
It's nice to hear someone admit she gets up in the middle of the night to put on lip gloss. If you don't know why, you are also Very Young.
I also love that she doesn't pretend to like rap "music." That she tells it like it is about kids growing up too fast, about lascivious behavior on TV, about the random silliness that seems to dominate the attention of our nation.
Kathie Lee has always called 'em as she sees 'em, but it's comforting to know a major network is cool with that and with somebody who isn't Very Young.
