Kathie Lee Gifford Chats With Jimmy Fallon About Her New Musical Scandalous, the ‘Brilliant’ Carolee Carmello and Feeling 28

Happy birthday, Kathie Lee Gifford! On August 15, the Today host stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to celebrate her big 28th birthday (wink-wink) and chat about her forthcoming Broadway show Scandalous. The musical, featuring a book and lyrics by Gifford and music by David Pomeranz and David Friedman, follows real-life superstar evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson and her far-from-holy lifestyle. Scandalous stars two-time Tony nominee Carolee Carmello, whom Gifford calls “the most brilliant woman working on Broadway.” Click below to see Fallon toast to Gifford's success, then see Scandalous at the Neil Simon (not “Neil Semen!”) Theatre beginning October 13.
