Kathie Lee Gifford

Kathie Lee Gifford is a singer, actress and television hostess who visited South Park in "Weight Gain 4000".

Background
As a child, Gifford was a classmate of Herbert Garrison. When they were young, they competed in a talent show, in which Mr. Garrison and Mr. Hat put on a very lame, yet critically-praised ventriloquist performance. Victory seemed to be his when Kathie Lee came forth to sing, with background dancers, music, and a fancy set. She won the talent contest by a landslide as a result. Mr. Garrison was furious that he lost because "she had choreography", and has held a grudge against her ever since.

When Kathie Lee came to perform in South Park, Mr. Garrison, now a schoolteacher, decided to get even with her, but Mr. Hat suggested he should just kill her altogether. Mr. Garrison tried to fight Mr. Hat's influence, but gave in and purchased a rifle and held himself up in the town's book depository. Kathie showed up on a truck encased in a bulletproof glass chamber and surrounded by agents, and listened to the various performances in town. Stan and Wendy caught on to Mr. Garrison's plot and tried to convince him not to kill Kathie Lee. Unfortunately, he went forth with his plan and fired at Kathie Lee. However, she survived as she was thrown off the stage when Cartman's enormous girth broke the stage, and Garrison shot Kenny instead. Kathie Lee was rushed out of South Park and Mr. Garrison was arrested, and Mr. Hat was committed.

Kathie Lee later made love to Chef, as he was extremely attracted to her. He is shocked to find her even more sex-crazed than himself. She later reappears in a flashback during "City on the Edge of Forever (Flashbacks)" when the kids misremember her as being an alien in disguise and Garrison a hero. She finally reappears in reality in "The Return of Chef", making a cameo at Chef's funeral. She makes two more appearances in "200" and "201" as part of the class-action lawsuit, but has no lines.
