WATCH: Martin Short Speaks Out On Kathie Lee's Gaffe
Martin Short has seemingly accepted Kathie Lee Gifford's apology. While speaking with E! News, Short was asked about the "Today" show incident in which Gifford asked about his relationship with his now deceased wife.
When Short appeared on NBC's "Today" on Wednesday, Gifford praised his relationship with his late wife Nancy Dolman and said, “He and Nancy have got one of the greatest marriages of anybody in show business. How many years now for you guys?" Short answered and said, “We, uh, married 36 years.”
Nancy Dolman passed away nearly two years ago.
"I think that it's live television and people make mistakes and there's no ill will intended," Short told E! News. "And I think it's nice to aspire to be kind of elegant."
