Kathie Lee Gifford is promoting her latest book The Jesus I Know: Honest Conversations and Diverse Opinions About Who He Is, and recently called in to “The Katie McGrady Show” on SiriusXM’s Catholic Channel.
During the conversation, Gifford discussed how she’s been using Zoom to stay in touch with friends during the pandemic. One of those friends is Kris Jenner, and she discussed how they’ve bonded over their faith.

Don’t call yourself a friend if you’re not willing to be one in the hard times.”
