Kathie Lee Quits While the audience gasped, many across America breathed a sigh of relief as Kathie Lee Gifford announced she is leaving Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. After 11 years on the syndicated morning show, she told co-host Regis Philbin, "It's time." She says she has songs to sing. Lucky us. She also says her decision to leave hinges on her efforts to protect her children, Cody and Cassidy. She'll stay on Live until July when her contract expires.

But what about her role on Nash Bridges, you ask? Her contract runs out at the end of the current season. And she hasn't been asked back. Titans is described as being Dynasty in Beverly Hills.
