Wow... yes, pretty awkward and he did handle it with extreme grace, lol. Who really knows about her drinking problem... apparently she does drink. Kathie Lee is one of these ladies who sort of became a heroine of the "faith" years back, and like Tim Tebow, she ended up being a pretty polarizing person for doing it, setting herself up for failure. There's a lot of suffering in the world, and I think people relate much better to public figures they can identify with -- not so much those who sort of tout their perfect lives or fairytale relationships on a day to day basis. I think that just sort of comes off as false to people.
After her husband Frank got caught stepping out on her, she really started acting bizarre. I'll never forget this top she wore one morning:
Anyway, I don't watch her, but have seen enough clips to know she behaves pretty risque these days, and I get the impression she's more controlled by her ego than her faith.
She kinda reminds me of this other well-known celebrity publicly proclaiming her "faith"... her ego was
totally out of control (watch from 1:50 on):

We all know how her life worked out...
Before anyone gets upset with me for knocking faith, that's not really my point here -- only that people should be a little more
real. People can tell when it's sincere and when it's an act.
