Kathy Griffin

I like her. Her reality show is good but her new one hour concert on Bravo was much better. Her bit on Oprah and Streisand had me on the floor.

[lefty]

I've always liked her, too. She seems refreshingly candid about her life, and other people's lives...lol. I remember when she was on Seinfeld. She played a comic, and she based most of her act on ripping Jerry apart. I laughed my ass off. I also liked her on Suddenly Susan. I remember there was always a lot of flack about that show, and her character in particular. Critics were always unfavorably comparing Suddenly Susan to News Radio, and saying that Kathy's character was a clone of the redhead on News Radio.

I loved her on "The View" last week (or was it the week before?). She called Tom Cruise crazy, and Star defending him by saying that when he was on the show though, he went out to speak to the audience. And then Kathy interjected "to hand out Scientology pamphlets!"

Love her.

Such love for her! I didn't give her a second thought during her stint on Suddenly Susan. I kept getting her confused with Vicki Lewis from NewsRadio. But after I loved her short lived reality show analysis show (??) on MTV and she was great on The Mole. And I laughed so hard at her description of the Sharon Stone/ "Imagine" speech. And she was the best thing about the red carpet.

She was also pretty amusing telling Howard Stern (Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, not the radio personality) to shove it and stop being a wasted prick on the Anna Nicole Christmas Party Special. Heh. She was the only thing that wasn't a trainwreck on that episode-- people so drunk they couldn't open their eyes, a naked Hillbilly cousin screaming in a pool, Margaret Cho (I think?) deep throat kissing Anna Nicole until they drunkenly fell into some furniture, Puppetry of the Penis, midgets, and a completely sober and normal acting Kathy Griffin. Good times.

I think more people would have been able to distinguish her from Vicki Lewis if Kathy's character hadn't been named, erm, Vicki.

[ang]

I love this woman.

Shes sharp as a tack and so very snarky, she'd fit right in here...ever since her comments about Dakota Fanning being in rehab I've been wishing Star Jones to lose her voice permanently so Kathy gets the Red Carpet job on E! permanantly.

Her stand up killed me. Her delivery is pitch perfect.
Loved the Streisand bit too.
I wish she'd incorporate stand up bits into her reality show.

I enjoy her stand-up because I am amused by a Hollywood celebrity who doesn't care about kissing ass all the time. However, I don't think it is that funny. I enjoyed some of her jokes in Kathy Griffin Is... Not Nicole Kidman (the whole Ryan Seacrest story was pretty funny) but quite a lot of that show was just her recycling old jokes or telling them in a new format (in case you didn't see me on the Billboard Awards - this happened and I said this. Hilarious?). I did enjoy her first Bravo stand-up special more, probably because her act was new to me. I do like to hear the gossip and will watch future specials but I see her more as a story teller with balls than a hilarious stand-up comedian.

She's SO been my pretend girlfriend for many years, ever since I heard her interviewed on KROQ in LA with Vanilla Ice, and she was sighing dreamily about how hot he was and calling him "Vanilla" and saying things like "Kathy Ice. Mrs. Vanilla Ice." It was a scream. Vanilla, of course, was completely unaware she was pulling his leg, and just kept preening.

Adore her!
