Former “Today” host Kathie Lee Gifford revealed how Donald Trump “saved” her and her daughter’s life in a recent video. 🤯 Full story is in the comments. 👇

During a February 2025 appearance on the Sage Steele Podcast, Kathie Lee Gifford shared a chilling story from 31 years ago when she was targeted by a dangerous criminal while preparing to host the Miss America Pageant. The FBI warned her husband, Frank Gifford, to act normal, but Frank refused to proceed without ensuring her safety. He turned to Donald Trump, who assured Frank he would handle the situation.

Kathie recounted, holding back tears, how Trump sent his private helicopter and security guards to protect her and her newborn daughter. She later discovered she had round-the-clock protection and learned from a newspaper that there had been a death threat against her.

Despite the danger, Kathie refused to back out of hosting the pageant. After the event, Trump’s team escorted her home safely, and the FBI later captured the suspect. Kathie expressed lasting gratitude, saying, “Donald saved my life and my daughter’s life.”

In addition to this revelation, Kathie recently surprised Hoda Kotb on Today with Jenna & Friends during Hoda’s farewell episode. Her appearance sparked online discussions about her looks, with mixed reactions ranging from praise to speculation about cosmetic enhancements.

Kathie later explained that her weight loss was due to training for a self-written movie role and dealing with grief after Frank’s passing in 2015. Reflecting on aging, she emphasized gratitude: “Life is about choice. I’m grateful for everything.”
