Would you consider Frank and Kathy Lee Gifford a famous duo?

Question

My friends and I were playing Scattergories. Under the category 'Famous Duos and Trios' I wrote Frank and Kathy Lee Gifford (the letter was F). The answer was not accepted because my friends said that since they are independently famous they are NOT a duo. My response was how can two famous married people NOT be considered a 'famous duo'??? Please tell me I'm right.

Answer 1

No, I do not consider them a famous duo, especially starting with "F"

Their last name is Gifford, so they would go under "G" - so unless you and the other players agreed to using first names to meet the letter requirement, this does not qualify in my book

And they are not famous as a duo

Answer 2

Yes, of course they are.  You are right. They are a duo because of the scandal they were involved in with Frank straying...
