On June 24, 1985, Kathie started co-hosting The Morning Show on WABC-TV with Regis Philbin. In 1988, the show went national and was renamed to Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee.

The two had two kids, Cody Newton Gifford (March, 22, 1990) and Cassidy Erin Gifford (August 2, 1993). Sadly, Frank passed away from natural causes at his Greenwich home on Aug. 9 at the age of 84.
