Who else here loves Kathy Griffin?

Season Finale tonight on Bravo. I think she's hilarious... :D

1. TommyO raises his hand!

I was getting all teary eyed when I saw the previews for this week's show, I don't know how I'm going to make it through. My dad died almost eight years ago, and this season is bringing a lot of memories to the surface again.

edited to add: and then Kathy says something so outrageous that I burst out laughing while the tears are still flowing.

[bicentennial_baby]

2. I think it will be a mix of happy and sad...

As always...I'm excited for it though! :)

:pals:

13. My dad died in April

When I first heard Kathy's dad died, I was so sad.. he seemed like such an awesome guy.

Then when I watched the episode where she talked about it and she said something like "And then it was here, the moment I'd been terrified of my entire life"
I literally started sobbing because it was like she put into words exactly what I had felt when my dad died. There is no way to explain it except to
say there was a BEFORE my dad died, and a COMPLETELY different after. It's like a different world.

You can see in each episode after the death of her father, she is still very emotional about it.

This season (while awesome!) was hard for me to watch because it did bring so many emotions up.

16. I'm sorry, Liz.

:hug:

Yeah, that episode had me and the bf crying, and we're both lucky enough to still have our fathers. But I know what she means - it's a moment I've feared my whole life.

[TommyO]

29. Boyfriend? You're one of Kathy's gays, just like me!

Now I just need to see her perform live, the only show that's convenient for me is one she has coming up in CT, though you never know what might be added to her tour.

[SeattleGirl]

27. That episode was so heartbreaking.

I lost my dad 30 years ago, but now and then, the feelings come back, and they just knock me out. Her dad was a sweetheart.

My late condolences to you, Liz. :hug:

[TommyO]

28. I had always said that one of my biggest fears was my father dying

so I can truly identify with what Kathy said. Tonight's episode wasn't the tear-jerker that I thought it would be for me, but it was extremely emotional.

Now I just hope she wins that Emmy!

[Inchworm]

3. She cracks me up!

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. I want to go see her in October in CT

:woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

4. I do! And I've totally gotten hooked on her show.

She has such a dry, wicked sense of humor.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. That she does...

I love the show! :hi:

[JackBeck]

7. We are big fans.

We've see Ellen D., Sandra B. and Margaret C. live and can't wait until we see Kathy's stand-up in person.

:thumbsup:

[bicentennial_baby]

8. I'm hoping to see her in CT in October!!!

Apparently I missed her last week...She was here in MA while I was getting married. x(

[JackBeck]

11. When I've checked her tour dates

she's always performing in Conn. or Long Island. We like her and stuff, but have our limits.

[LibraLiz1973]

9. I adore her

And I am super bummed the season is over already!!

[LuLu550]

10. Yeah, she really cracks me up

doesn't take herself too seriously, and most of the best comedians have had that trait.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. She's FANTASTIC!!!

I want to be Kathy's friend. She and I are very similar. I felt so terrible when she lost her dad. He was a really fun, sweet man. And her mom is a freaking hoot.
Have you been to her site?

Check out the forums too. They're fun.

14. LOVE HER!

Can't wait to watch the finale!

[MonkeyFunk]

15. ME!!

She's a new-found love.

Watched her "My Life on the D-List" for the first time just a few weeks ago, and now I adore her. The BF and I have watched every episode we can find, as well as some of her comedy specials. She's just brilliant.

[terrya]

17. I watched "Kathy Griffin - Allegededly" last Friday night.

I love her and I loved the dvd. Just flat out hilarious. And she loves the gays. :-)

[JackBeck]

18. While that was just as funny, her stand-up before that one had a bit

that had me and the Mr., until this day, in tears whenever we talk about it.

Kathy told a story about when she appeared on "Hollywood Squares" with Anna Nicole, Little Richard and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. I won't even try to repeat what went down because my repeating it would not do her story any justice. Funniest. Shit. EVAH.

[terrya]

19. That sounds like a scream!

:-)

[JackBeck]

20. DooD, it totally was.

And I just checked youtube but can't find it. I hope you get to see it some day.

:pals:

[LibraLiz1973]

21. Watching the Red Headed Oprah now!!

Ok- how hysterical that so far no one will take money

[bigwillq]

22. I find her annoying but

I do think it's funny how she is basically making fun of her status...basically making fun of herself...I watched one episode and thought it was pretty funny but once was enough for me.

Props to her though. :)

[UTUSN]

23. I *luerve* her!!1 But I wonder how long she can antagonize every celeb? n/t

[TommyO]

30. Antagonizing celebrities has been very good for her, and I don't think that will change

There's always new up-and-coming pretty boys and girls with limited talent for her to skewer.

[UTUSN]

33. No, but I mean, some of them HATE her, can't take it. n/t

[TommyO]

35. And that's their problem, not Kathy's

[no name no slogan]

24. I would hit her with my rhythm stick

if you know what I mean

[LibraLiz1973]

25. roflmao

:rofl:

[LibraLiz1973]

26. OH.MY.GOD. This Andrew W.K. thing

I almost just peed my pants


"this is a robot, sent here to taunt me"


How HIGH is that dude?? :rofl:

[TommyO]

31. He was truly one of the best poster children for substance abuse - EVER!

[SeattleGirl]

36. I'm watching right now. I think I would last all of 5 minutes with him.

:eyes:

I have to say though, I totally cracked up when Kathy was out shopping, and she said (of one of the dresses), "That's what JonBenet was buried in."

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Blue_Tires]

32. great finale tonight

[JI7]

34. probably my favorite in comedy

especially stand up at the moment.

[GRLMGC]

37. Haha, her trying to get into Hillary's pictures nt

[SeattleGirl]

38. I loved it when she walked right in front of Hil and the two people she

was with, just to get in the picture.

:rofl:

[GRLMGC]

39. That was the greatest part! nt

[SeattleGirl]

40. Just saw the toast to her dad. That was so sweet!

:)

[applegrove]

41. I just saw my first show last week. I'll watch tonight. Thanks for mentioning it.

[AwakeAtLast]

42. I have watched every season

I think I basically only watch Bravo any more.

I am usually laughing out loud. My husband looks up from his computer game and says "What did she say?" Then I try to repeat it - but I'm never able to- so then he looks at me with a weird expression. Oh well, I never miss her! :hi:

[QMPMom]

43. I don't care for her at all.

I find her very annoying and way too loud.

[TheProphetess]

44. I think she is hilarious

She really pushes the line and I like it!

I'm just getting ready to fire up the DVR so that I can watch last night's finale. Love her!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

45. I don't, because I get the distinct impression that it's not an "act".

With many, if not most stand-up comedians, they tend to envision their acts as if it were a one-person play, where they are the only character. With Kathy Griffin, I don't get that feeling at all. I think that vile, petty, gossipy BS she spews really is her, and that's not a very good person. Same goes for Carlos Mencia - he's the same way.

[elehhhhna]

46. She's losing it since Matt's gone. Hate to say it but

her :act" is all about being shocking (as opposed to funny) and people will only laugh at the ef word so many times...

[Blue_Tires]

48. how was she different when she was married?

i just started watching

[redqueen]

47. Me!

I haven't watched in a long time, but when I've watched her show I've always enjoyed it, and I like her stand-up stuff too.

:hi:

[MysticalChicken]

49. I'm ambivalent about her.

I think she's funny but her voice just grates on my nerves.
