Stern and Kathie Lee, of course, aren't particularly good friends. Actually, Howard has made it quite clear that he thinks Kathie Lee is the devil. The note read, "I was very sorry to hear the news that you and your wife have separated. God loves you and he cares about you and each member of your family. He's there when you need him."
