Kathie Lee Gifford made her Broadway debut Dec. 7 in the Carol Burnett role in Putting It Together. In the photo, Gifford is joined by her television co-host Regis Philbin, his wife Joy and former talk show host and comedianne Joan Rivers. Kathie Lee Gifford will not be replacing Burnett in the so-called "review" of songs at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, just playing Tuesday evenings to allow Burnett a couple of days off per week. She will perform the same songs as Burnett and nothing has been dropped. The sketchy character in the revue is a bitter middle-aged woman whose marriage is chilly due to her husband's wandering eye and their commitments to other projects and people.
