Kathy Griffin Goes from D-Lister to Emmy Presenter

After weeks of rumors, ABC has confirmed Kathy Griffin will help hand out golden statuettes at the Emmys later this month.

Who can forget the hubbub when the acerbic comic dissed Jesus while accepting her golden girl for My Life on the D-List at the 2007 Creative Arts ceremony? She's up for two Emmys this year, so brace yourself for more.

Joining Griffin will be fellow comedian Don Rickles, two-time Emmy host Conan O'Brien, Christian Slater, Kate Walsh, and Emmy nominees Neil Patrick Harris and Kristin Chenoweth.

Harris is logging in some serious time for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences - he announced the nominations with Chenoweth in July and is also tapped to host the Creative Arts bash on Sept. 13, with Sarah Chalke.

ABC airs the 60th Annual Primetime Emmys on Sept. 21. - Joyce Eng
