Summary

Kathie Lee Gifford's latest book, "Nero and Paul," co-written with Dr. Bryan M. Litfin, was released on March 10, 2026. This biblical non-fiction work follows her passion for exploring historical figures and their connections to religious narratives. Gifford recently shared intimate details about her final moments with longtime friend and former co-host Regis Philbin.
Gifford recounted a spiritual premonition that prompted her to visit Philbin two weeks before his death. Their final encounter was a three-hour lunch filled with laughter, where Gifford felt a clear divine message that it would be their last meeting. Philbin passed away in July 2020, and Gifford noted that the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted his mental well-being, as he missed connecting with people.
Prior to his passing, Gifford and Philbin maintained a close friendship, even after she left "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" in 2000. They lived near each other in Greenwich and shared lunch every two weeks. Gifford also made headlines in March 2026 for her comments on LGBTQ+ issues, emphasizing love while suggesting a need to simplify terminology.
