Kathie Lee On Awful Racist Doll: 'It's Cute!'
Supermodel Naomi Campbell attacked someone on a plane and was arrested recently. She claims she was reacting to a racial slur that was hurled at her. The term was "gollywog," which is Euro-slang for a kind of black-facey looking doll. And of course, because no topic is safe, Today Show yakkers Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb got to, um, yakking about the term and showed a picture of the doll. Kathie Lee cooed that she thought the big-lipped, nappy-haired old-timey doll was "cute." After a brief pause she sputtered out "but obviously it's racist." Ohhh Kathie Lee. Never stop being you. Clip is above.
