Miss America 1988 -- Pre-Talent Competition Performance

[hoyageorge]

I actually saw this performance (three times) during that year's Miss America Pageant (I grew up in Atlantic City). It was a really fun number, and Kathie Lee did an awesome job with it. The Pageant just hasn't been the same since it left AC and the Boardwalk. I wish they'd find a way to bring it back.

At first, I thought she was Jill St. John.

I met Kathie Lee (then Johnson) in 1977 at the ritzy hotel in Dayton where I was a plainclothes security person. She invied me to the best supper club in Dayton where she was performing. She called me up on the stage and gave me a big kiss (on the lips). That was a wonderful evening..Her singing was wonderful. i followed her ever since.

DAM Kathy Lee, that was great......I never seen that one before.....thank you so much

[CoolWhiteChick]

Guess what? She's TALENTED. You've gotta be to pull this off like she did. I'm pleasantly surprised!

[MidnightChimes]

Not really. You take her through the routing enough times and then surround her with lots of capable dancers. Just look at Warren Sapp.

[CoolWhiteChick]

I loved Warren Sapp and you, why be a Xmas Eve/4th Night of Chanukah Hater? Grab a latke and FEEL THE LOVE!

[TheSingerNB]

She kills me with those serious facial expressions she does during some of the choreography. LOL Thats my girl.. I love her!

[chapwars]

luv her

[nullmuse]

Kathie Lee will always be my little la-la girl.  Still, I couldn't help but be reminded of Bette Midler when I watched this, too.

[mindmenagerie]

Yes, yurbud nailed it. Oy, and those spastic 80s dance moves...

[m33lutz]

She is whipping th crowd into a frenzy. Kathie Lee is amazing!

[fltwoodmacrox81]

Kathie Lee is great...but NOBODY performs this like Bette Midler on her 1980 Divine Madness Tour DVD. AMAZING.

Kathie Lee took a lot of garbage thrown her way and was really underrated. Thanks for this video!

[babyjamesie44]

she really great..love all she does..and can not be nicer, i used to be in the fanclub,when it was regis and kathie lee..i miss her daily chat..

[yurbud]

She seems to be trapped in the Lawrence Welk era of pleasant but vacuous entertainment.

[NilbogLAND]

Damn I remember seeing this when it was first on. Thanks jasuzu!
