Kathy Griffin "D" List Bulls***

I was enjoying this Bravo series. Sure, she's no super talent, but I was enjoying her insider comedy.

Then I see her show tonight. And she goes on "Leno" and Jay makes some funny remarks about her not being that pretty. They weren't real bad. But Kathy had a breakdown and sobbed like a little baby.

This from a woman who makes crass jokes about people's sexuality or beauty. Now she's on the other end and playing the "poor little me" routine.

I've lost any respect I've had for this train wreck.

sometimes i think she just likes drama, like that will make her more famous

I mean, she goes around calling Clay GAYkin and then goes to his concert and goes backstage and stuff. is she was that funny she would have to create situations for her to talk about.

Would you like to be called ugly to your face??? I thought he was a little hard. Anyhow, I love them both and I think Kathy is amazingly talented.

Kathy's "Allegedly" is the funniest DVD i have ever watched in my life!!!

What did Jay say to her? Did she do something to provoke him?

Jay said her pic with Carmen Electra was like a "before and after" and then he kept on going...

So, she can dish it out; but she just can't take it. And Jay calling someone ugly is pretty funny, considering his face.

Well, Kathy only seems to be where she is because of the vogue of "the wise-cracking red-headed friend" that was happening when Suddenly Susan was being cast. Most of the TV comedies at that point had that type. Otherwise, she'd probably still be doing small comedy clubs in small towns. She's amusing and I have to admit I laughed at her "Clay Gay-kin" thing, but there are a million other comics out there who are just as good. The fact that she's SO OPEN about all the plastic surgery she's had, she should be prepared to get razzed about it.

The thing about her face, is that she looked better before all the plastic surgery. She's on one of my favorite Sienfeld episodes. She can be amusing in small doses. I can't imagine watching her "reality" show, though.

She'll probably be like Joan Rivers in a few years -- she won't be able to close her eyes or open her mouth.

Mr. Tuttle, I feel the same way. I watched the show last night and thought, wait, you can dish it out, but you can't take it. I used to like her and thought she was better looking before she had some work done.

Jay Leno is a tool...he should be thanking God everyday he has his job. He is truly the Ryan Seacrest of late-night TV.

That's a dig at Ryan Seacreast, who I think is good at what he does. Jay Leno is just dreary to me. All he does is steal from Letterman and Stern for his entire persona, and he's bad at it.

I love Kathy...she can do no wrong in my book!

And at least Seacrest is easy on the eyes -- plastic, yes, but easy on the eyes. Leno is not only not funny, but his style of setup/punch is overtly annoying.

ok...so what happened on THE VIEW?? I saw in the preview that star jones got offended or something?

[Hanna from Hamburg]

Posted: 8/18/05 at 10:26am

yeah, the Leno fake laugh after every joke so you know you've heard the punch line is pretty irritating . . .

Did you hear Kathy's story regarding Ryan Seacrest on an awards show..listent to that and then tell me if you still like him.

Wendy,

That's 2 things we have in common: love of Norbert, loathing of Leno.

I couldn't care less what Kathy Griffin's opinion of Ryan Seacrest is. I decide who I like based on what I observe, not someone else's observations. For what he does, he is very good at it. That's all I need to know. I don't care what he does backstage, in his personal life, or anything else, just what he does when he's hosting AMERICAN IDOL. He does an excellent job doing that. All you have to do is watch any other similar show and see what those hosts do to know that.

Ryan and CM2, sittin' in a tree......

What does she say about Oprah? How could anyone have anything bad to say about frickin' Oprah?

Kathy is clearly a little crazy, but....she's a comic, so she's supposed to be.

maybe her problem is that she got an injection of Botox in her brain to get rid of the wrinkles . . .

I've really enjoyed her standup routine, but the reality show is incredibly depressing. Her hunger for being near, or part of any celebrity is pathological, pathetic, and sooooo L.A. She's a true wit, but...
