In 2014, Gifford penned the critically acclaimed "TODAY, the Musical," featuring the hosts and crew of the show, and each month she had written a new song for the popular segment, Everyone Has a Story.

A playwright, producer, singer, songwriter and actress, Gifford has starred in numerous television programs and movies in her 40-year career. She has her own record label and has written several musicals including Broadway's SCANDALOUS, which received a Tony nomination for Best Actress in 2012. Gifford also starred on Broadway in "Putting it Together" and "Annie." Gifford authored four NY Times bestselling books including "Just When I Thought I'd Dropped My Last Egg," "I Can't Believe I Said That," "The Rock, The Road and the Rabbi", and the popular children's book "Party Animals." She recently co-wrote and recorded "He Saw Jesus", "Jesus is His Name" and "Love Me to Death." She also launched GIFFT, a line of wine with the Scheid Family Vineyards in Monterey, CA. Most recently she had her directorial debut for the short film, THE GOD WHO SEES, featuring Nicole C. Mullen. The duo co-wrote the music in the film.
