'We hardly recognized you,' Kathie Lee Gifford admitted to the comedienne. 'You look so great.'
'Well, I did get a new face,' the stand-up comic joked. 'I bought it on eBay.'
Whitney added: 'I did this weird thing that nobody likes to do anymore where I gained weight. I gained like 25 pounds, which I think I needed to. I was way too skinny before.

Fuller figure: Whitney said her face 'filled out' and people thought she 'got a face-lift'
'Here's the thing: When you're on television, you get confused. I looked like I was passing away and I put on, like, 20 lbs. I think it filled out...People think I got a face-lift.'
The co-creator of CBS' 2 Broke Girls continued: 'I feel like all the advice to girls nowadays is "Lose weight! Lose weight!" They say you have to pick your ass or your face and I'm picking my face, but I hope somebody else picks the other one!'
Whitney also credits her youthful appearance to an LED machine called NuFACE she bought online which 'lifts and tightens' the skin.

In September, Whitney is also due to appear at The Venetian's Sands Showroom in Las Vegas as part of the casino's Lipshtick series of comediennes.
