Cassidy Gifford: It was really fun. I mean it's something we dreamed of doing for so long. All the years of my mom taking me out to LA on school breaks over the summer, went to New York all the time to auditions. The amount of time she fought my schools, or my dad, about even letting me pursue it. It was just something we always talked about working together even though we're not actually featured in the show together still, it was really fun to be on set together and in the hair and makeup room at crafty having lunch.

Kathie Lee Gifford: I just love seeing her doing what she loves to do and being so blessed to do it with people that she also admires and respects and treat her with the respect that she deserves. Nothing was put on a platter for Cass. She literally had to audition, get in line and do all of that for all these years. And so the good thing about that is once you worked hard and you've earned it, you appreciate it. And she saw me work hard my whole life, she saw her dad, and so I didn't want to raise entitled children. They're not entitled to anything. In fact, it's the exact opposite. The Bible talks about how to whom much is given, much is required. And I taught them that their whole lives. I've been taught that from my parents.
