In an interview with People, Kathie Lee Gifford talked about his longtime friendship with Kris Jenner. She recalled how she helped her family before they made it big on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
In the early days, Kathie Lee Gifford revealed Kris Jenner was having financial problems. "I loaned Kris money years ago because they needed it," she said. She also added that they were "really struggling" at the time.

When they left, Wayne Gretzky arrived, a model, and a rapper. From the looks of it, the Kardashian family has been living the stardom from the start.
