Kathie Lee Gifford’s Heartfelt Apology After Awkward Interview with Martin Short
In 2012, an awkward and emotional moment unfolded on live television during an interview on NBC’s Today show, when Kathie Lee Gifford unintentionally asked actor and comedian Martin Short about his late wife, Nancy Dolman, unaware that she had passed away two years earlier.
During the segment, Gifford, with her usual upbeat energy, praised Short and his "great marriage" to Dolman, asking him, “You and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now?” Unknown to Gifford, Nancy Dolman had passed away in 2010 after a battle with ovarian cancer.
Despite the painful subject matter, Martin Short handled the situation with remarkable grace. Instead of correcting her on air, he simply responded, “We had a great marriage,” and continued the interview without drawing attention to the mistake. Short’s poise and kindness in the face of such an awkward moment left a lasting impression on viewers.
Later in the broadcast, Gifford was informed of her error and was visibly shaken by the news. She immediately took to Twitter and addressed the incident, writing, “I send my sincerest apologies to @MartinShort. He handled situation w/enormous grace and kindness and I'm so grateful.”
The incident highlighted Short’s humility and class while also serving as a reminder of the sensitivity required when discussing personal matters in interviews. Gifford, known for her warm, spontaneous style, showed genuine remorse, and her heartfelt apology was widely appreciated. In the end, it was Short’s gracious response that turned what could have been a deeply uncomfortable moment into an example of empathy and understanding.
