Kathie Lee Gifford Talks to Martin Short About His Wife . . . Not Knowing She Died Two Years Ago

KATHIE LEE GIFFORD made a pretty huge mistake on the “Today” show yesterday.  She was interviewing MARTIN SHORT . . . and Kathie Lee started asking him about his wife.

–She said, quote, “You and Nancy have one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business.  How many years now for you guys?”

–The thing is, Martin’s wife DIED TWO YEARS AGO.  But he didn’t correct her.  He just kind of rolled with it.  He said, quote, “We, uh . . . married . . . 36 years.”

–Kathie Lee later apologized for her error on-air, saying Martin corrected her after the interview.  But he wasn’t upset at all.
