“I was surprised Cody named him after his dadbecause Cody knew what it was like to grow up in the shadow of a great man,” she said, speaking of her late husband lateFrank Gifford. “But I guess he’s never gotten over, really, and he never will, the loss of his dad at an early age and he was his hero and he still is.”
As for what Kathie Lee wants to be called as a grandmother, she quipped, “I didn’t give anybody a choice of what they’re going to call me. I took the matters into my own hands.”
“I have a dear friend down here and his Israeli mother, I asked her, ‘What’s a good word for a Jewish grandmother?'” Kathie Lee shared. “And she goes, ‘Bubbalah. It’s Bubbie.’ It’s a Yiddish word … and it means dearest one, like cherished one. And the little kid only goes ‘ba ba ba ba ba’ anyway, so I think it’s going to be easy.”
