Kathie Lee Does Not Take Kirk Cameron's Sexual Purity Seriously

thumbnail icon: Kathie Lee Does Not Take Kirk Cameron's Sexual Purity Seriously

It's hard to admit this, but I'm kind of coming around on Kathie Lee. Sure, she treats Hoda the way the Heathers treated Winona Ryder, but I'm starting to subscribe to the "They have an understanding" theory on that. And the woman just does not bullshit -- or, rather, her bullshitting is so transparent that it seems like she's dying for us to see through her. Like this morning, when Kathie and Hoda welcomed Christian Actor Kirk Cameron to talk about his endlessly-promoted new church-sponsored movie, Fireproof. Kathie's lingering "aww" face to Hoda when Kirk tells the story of (I shit you not) how he filmed a kissing scene in the movie by dressing his real-life wife up as the movie's character and kissing her instead (so as to avoid kissing another woman) is just priceless. We know you're faking, Kathie Lee:

"Even in acting?" "You kissed me this morning!" (Awkward laughter.) It can be argued that every moment of the Today Show's fourth hour is full of exactly the same amount of Kathie Lee underminer moments, but this one is special because seriously, Kirk Cameron? I almost want to see Fireproof now, just to see this hardcore XXX passionate kiss that would have gone against everything he believes in. But I'm not giving any money to the creationist banana conspiracy.

The face was great, but a well-placed dig on Frank Gifford (thereby provinding Kathy Lee with a subtle dig on Kirk) would've been even better.

I can't believe I had a crush on him when I was like, 8. It's like having a crush on Freddy Kruger. Epic Fail.

Well that explains why he doesn't get real work anymore.

Seriously, who holds marital bonds over visual continuity? NO ONE ('cept K.C.)

If more men could act like Kirk we wouldn't have so many broken homes. As always Kathie Lee was rude to the guest and not respectful, possibly jelous that her own husband couldn't be more like Kirk

Someone suggest to Kirk that his unusual fascination with bananas also counts as marital infidelity.

this makes me like him even more...it shows his respect for marriage and the reality of his beliefs because he actually lives them

No, I dislike him more than I did before because he's not honoring his marriage vows, he's being over-the-top. His actions are completely unnecessary, except in making him feel better. How is an actor setting an example for others in marriage by refusing to act? I just wish he would take his banana-loving self and go the way of his career.
