Kathie Lee was interviewing Martin Short this morning and brought up his wife and how great their marriage "is." Unfortunately Martin's wife passed away 2 years ago from Ovarian Cancer. See the clip here:
Amazingly Martin just went with the flow and didn't bring it up. I'm sure Kathie Lee felt AWFUL about it later - She did Tweet an apology:
I send my sincerest apologies to @MartinShort and his family. He handled situation w/enormous grace and kindness and I'm so grateful.

It's ALWAYS important to prepare for your interviews so you don't end up in that situation. Candy and I have definitely entered interviews not being prepared enough - Fortunately we haven't ended up in a situation like Kathie Lee did. Everyone can criticize her all they want, but I bet none of it hurts as much as her own guilt over it!
