Kathy Lee Gifford’s Advice for Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan

Kathy Lee Gifford, who co-hosted Live alongside Regis Philbin for 15 years prior to Kelly Ripa taking over, stopped by Fox 411 and was asked to give her advice to Ripa and co-host Michael Strahan after the events of the past week.

“Be totally professional,” Gifford said. “I would keep anything that’s going on between you private … it’s nobody’s business but yours. But always, always be professional at your job — that’s what you’re hired to do.”

Ripa made waves when she disappeared from the air after Strahan’s sudden announcement that he was leaving Live and taking a full-time position at Good Morning America.

When she returned to Live on Tuesday, Ripa didn’t exactly keep things private when she said that the recent events “started a much greater conversation about communication and consideration and, most importantly, respect in the workplace.”
