Kathy Griffin: TV Guide News

Episode Recap: Season 4 — Episode 4 | Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List | 7/4/2008 New
Further proof that Kathy's big mouth (you know, the one that I love so much) does indeed get her into trouble: we got to learn this week that Kathy has been re-banned from The View. Kathy’s been banned from a lot of shows, but, per Kathy: "This is my first re-banning." Seems executive producer Bill Geddie wasn't quite ready...to forgive Kathy for something she included in her recent Bravo special Kathy Griffin: Straight To Hell. For those who missed it, Kathy hilariously recalled her... read more
Episode Recap: Season 4 — Episode 3 | Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List | 6/27/2008
Almost every week, I make a comment that questions Kathy's D-list status. That's because Kathy frequently does things that border on A-list like co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special with Anderson Cooper, selling out Madison Square Garden or dating billionaire Steve Wozniak. But this week, Kathy proved me wrong again, further solidifying her insistence that she's D-list by performing via P.A. system on an airplane. And not just any plane. We're talkin' a 14-hour "Pink Flight" from San... read more
Episode Recap: Season 4 — Episode 2 | Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List | 6/20/2008
After last week's season premiere that was chock full of A-listic antics, Kathy was back to her D-list ways this week. Since most people know and love Kathy's mama Maggie Griffin and they are big fans of Kathy's 1st assistant Jessica Zajicek, Kathy wanted us to learn more about the two other lesser-known members of Team Griffin: tour manager Tom Vize and 2nd assistant Tiffany Rinehart. So Kathy decided to do press tours to Tom and Tiffany's hometowns. But Kathy had an ulterior motive. She... read more
Episode Recap: Season 4 — Episode 1 (Season Premiere) | Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List | 6/13/2008
Hey, KGF's (that would be Kathy Griffin Fans, of course)! It has been much too long since I've blogged about my favorite D-lister-who's-actually-a-C-lister's Emmy-winning reality series. This season, Bravo is treating us with nine episodes — nine, according to Bravo's press release, but Kathy's been on the talk show circuit (or at least the few shows she's not banned from) bragging about this season's "ten episodes" so maybe Kathy knows something that Bravo doesn't? Either way, I was very... read more

Kathy Griffin Is Back...But Still on the D-List | TV Show Previews | 6/11/2008
After three seasons and an Emmy win, where is loudmouth redhead Kathy Griffin's big promotion? "[Just when] I think I might be a strong C-lister, I hear someone say "I loved her when she used to be on TV.' " This season on Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, (returning tonight at 9 pm/ET, Bravo), those who do tune in will see Griffin open her own leadership academy, wean her mother off boxed wine and most thrillingly, talk #@$ about Oprah. "Let's be honest," Griffin says. "Oprah is full of... read more
At GLAAD Awards, Stars Offer Insights on Betty and More | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 4/30/2008
Stars were all about support at the annual GLAAD Awards, which honor fair portrayal of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in the media. "I didn't let a straight person near me tonight," joked Kathy Griffin before asking her mother onstage to name the most gay person she could think of. "Is Ryan Seacrest here?" asked 87-year-old Maggie Griffin, as the audience roared with laughter and approval. The merry red carpet was like a who's who of television, with Ellen Degeneres, Becky... read more

How Do You Like Our Match Game '08 Panel of Stars? | TVGuide.com Asks.... | 1/31/2008
As reported earlier today, the folks behind American Idol are reviving Match Game. I may be in the minority here, but my restrained response to this news was something akin to "Woo-hoo!" I loved that show — both in its heyday and in reruns on the Game Show Network — if only because it's the strangest anthropological documentation of 1970s comedy, sexual mores and substance abuse that you're ever going to find on network television. It was pretty subversive for a game show (see... read more
Ask Matt | 1/25/2008
I have to respond to Skye's long response to your opinion that you think Connie Britton should be placed in a category all by herself. She should. She is the best actress on TV right now. End of story. Yes, Glenn Close and Sally Field may be Oscar winners and more accomplished actresses as a whole, but Connie Britton continuously puts on a breathtaking performance week in and week out. Hers is the most realistic portrayal of a mother on television right now. Yes, Glenn Close gives a ruthless... read more
Kathy Griffin Enlisted for More D-List | Today's News: Our Take | 1/23/2008
Touting the series' titular redhead as someone with her finger on "the pulse of pop culture," Bravo has greenlit a fourth season of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, to air later this year.Griffin this past September famously accepted an Emmy (in the noncompetition reality-show category) by quipping to Jesus, "This award is my god now" — or even more polarizing words to that effect. read more
Kellie Pickler, Paris & More! | Today's Top Videos | 11/29/2007
Is Kellie Pickler Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?Unless she's really good playing dumb, we're gonna have to say no, she's not. In a recent appearance on the hit game show, the country singer was asked what European country Budapest was capital of (which, mind you, left her baffled, considering she thought Europe was a country). When she found out the correct answer, she didn't even, like, know Hungary was a country. Turkey she's heard of, but Hungary, not so much. Good thing for her charity, she... read more

Kathy Griffin's "Vulgar" Emmy Speech Gets D-leted | Today's News: Our Take | 9/11/2007
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has said "no thanks" to Kathy Griffin's Jesus-mocking Emmy thank-you speech — My Life on the D-List won best reality program at Saturday's Creative Arts ceremony — and will excise it when the event is aired this weekend on E! In a spiel deemed "offensive" by ATAS and smote by the Catholic League for being "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech," Griffin said that while "a lot of people... thank Jesus for this award... I want you to... read more
Inside the Emmys: All the Gossip from the Creative Arts Bash! | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 9/11/2007
Kathy Griffin may have referred to them as the Schmemmys, but this year's Creative Arts Emmys proved that even Life on the D List is worth an A-list award. And so is, apparently, wrapping your "D--k in a Box." At the significantly more relaxed event than next week's extravaganza, the red carpet became a place for friends to catch up and proud fathers and mothers to snap photos of their children being interviewed. Ugly Betty's Judith Light and Grey's Anatomy's Kate Burton, both up for a ... read more
Ask Matt | 9/10/2007
What the heck have they done to Bravo? The network has been completely destroyed. I loved The West Wing, Project Runway, Inside the Actors Studio ? heck, even the first season of Blow Out was mildly diverting. Today, while waiting anxiously for the next season of Runway, I am served a diet of endless marathons of The Real Housewives of Orange County (possibly the most revolting show ever), real estate shows, workout shows, etc. There is no programming but these marathons! The West Wing is never... read more
At the Emmys: Filthy Mouths Win Big, Idol Avoids Biggest Loser Title | Today's News: Our Take | 9/9/2007
Gold mixed with blue at Saturday night's Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony. Though HBO's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee took home the most kudos — five statues in all — several major wins either were born of or unexpectedly led to salty language.Where to start? Kathy Griffin, whose Life on the D-List won best (non-competition) reality program, mock-scoffed at those who thank J.C. for their good fortune by saying (and I apologize for sharing this on a Sunday morning), "Suck it, Jesus,... read more
New View Cohost Whoopi Goldberg on Star and Rosie: "We're Friends" | TV Guide News Report | 8/1/2007
Whoopi Goldberg was all smiles backstage at The View, several moments after the not-so-surprise announcement that she’s the ABC chat show’s long-awaited new moderator. The comedian tells TV Guide she “felt safe” in the warm embrace of her new colleagues. She’s equally accepted by ex-Viewers. Goldberg revealed that the day before her formal announcement, Star Jones Reynolds, who left the show after a bit of nastiness, sent her flowers. “We’re friends,”... read more
As View Announcement Nears, Buzz Cries, "Whoopi!" | Today's News: Our Take | 7/26/2007
As previously scooped by the TV Guide News Report, The View is expected to announce its new cohost by Aug. 2, a timetable confirmed by both Gotham tabs this Thursday morning. While the New York Daily News calls Whoopi Goldberg a shoo-in to join the talker, the Post's Page Six posits that a triad of Whoopi, Kathy Griffin and Sherri Shepherd might rotate in and out of the pair of chairs vacated by Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell. So TVGuide.com can have posts appearing double but two ladies can't... read more
