Kathy Griffin just now on CNN:

[JackBeck]

She was being heckled by someone in Times Square and her response?

"Screw you! I'm working here, buddy. You know I don't go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth!"

Happy 2009, DU!

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. On live CNN?

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

4. Yup. As they were breaking for a commercial.

We've been playing over and over for the last 10 minutes.

:applause:

[Jamastiene]

2. OMG

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

8. And I thought her request for a pap smear from Sanjay Gupta was hilarious.

There were many memorable moments this evening during Kathy and Anderson's Time Square report.

I'm pretty sure they will go viral within the next few days.

[Missy Vixen]

31. I was laughing till I was crying

One thing's for sure, there'll be a hell of a lot more people tuned in next year to see what she'll do next.

It's New Year's Eve, not brain surgery. After 2008, I'd rather laugh.

I thought it was cute that she and Anderson Cooper danced together at midnight. Plus, he got in a few zingers, too.

3. Rawk On Kathy...

fucking A Happy New Year

[JackBeck]

10. Our new favorite viewing for New Years.

There were many moments during this broadcast that were memorable.

:pals:

[Lex]

5. I just love her!

nt

[JackBeck]

14. We adore her too.

It takes a certain sensibility to understand her comedy, I guess.

:pals:

[JohnnieGordon]

6. I wish they'd put Suddenly Susan out on DVD

Or start showing in syndication again. Kathy grew up wanting to be the wise-cracking "Rhoda" sidekick to "Mary" in an office sitcom, and it actually happened. Suddenly Susan's a poor man's Mary Tyler Moore, but it's still the most successful knock off of it there's ever been.

[JackBeck]

17. The career she's created for herself after that show is astounding.

Bravo is all about Kathy tonight. Good for her!

:7

[redqueen]

20. Thanks for mentioning Bravo...

watching some of her stuff from last year's New Year's bash. :D

She asked Cooper if he'd ever punch Hannity in the face. :rofl:

:loveya:

[Inchworm]

7. Holy!

:rofl:

Perfect!

:rofl:

[JackBeck]

18. She was on fire tonight.

And the bitchy retorts to her from the CNN correspondents were the best.

[madinmaryland]

9. She was annoying as hell. What a fucking annoying twit.

[sasquatch]

11. So sayeth the Cowboys fan

:P

[madinmaryland]

21. STFU sasquatch! That's what we say to our cat!! BTW, Happy New YEAr!

[sasquatch]

36. You named your cat sasquatch?

[madinmaryland]

37. That is one of her nicknames my wife gave her.

:shrug:

[JackBeck]

19. Which comedians do you find entertaining?

And who do you think should take her place next year?

[madinmaryland]

22. It was CNN, and I don't need some crappy comedienne, when Anderson's

normal sidekick would be just fine (Erica Hill).

:shrug:

[redqueen]

23. This was her second year co-hosting with him on New Year's.

She'll likely be back again next year, so maybe you should plan on watching something else.

[madinmaryland]

24. That leaves the following:

Fox noise (NOT)
MSNBC (prison lockups) - NOT
ABC/NBC/CBS - Kiddie bands, except for Dick Clark (poor man is barely alive).

ESPN - Chris Berman going back, back, back, its a new year. NOT.

The Weather Channel - Jim Cantore, in a big storm. NOT

Wolf Blitzer is better than the ditz named Kathy Griffin!

Jeebus!!

[redqueen]

26. She's hilarious IMO so pbthththbt!

We watched Wanted, and then when that was over we watched my daughter play her Tales of Symphonia game. :party:

The only teevee stuff we watched was the ball drop in NY and the countdown here in Dallas. :P

[madinmaryland]

27. OK. Glad someone enjoyed her.

We kept having to mute her until Anderson started talking.

Oh well. I thought there might have been more excitement this year with a new President, but there was nothing of interest on which is why CNN ended up on.

We watched a movie and then a comedian on HBO until CNN, because there was nothing of interest on this year, unlike years in the past.

I guess I gotta find a venue where she might actually be amusing and worth watching.

:hi:

[Drunken Irishman]

25. I agree. She's like crack, small doses or you OD.

[madinmaryland]

28. Uhmm. If she was like "crack", i'd want to come back for more.

[Drunken Irishman]

29. I sometimes go back for more...

But I can't tolerate her for much longer than like 20 minutes.

[redqueen]

12. Hah...

I like her.

[JimGinPA]

13. She Was On Tues. Night To Promote New Years & Was Busting On Lou Dobbs

She said he had a lovechild with Cher named Alejandro Dobbs.

[Withywindle]

15. I saw that and I died laughing.

But I thought she was talking to Anderson at first!

[dana_b]

16. LOL

wish I'd heard that but thanks for relaying it. She does not give a damn and that's probably the best thing about her.

[JohnnieGordon]

30. Here's the video, someone just started a thread with it

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x254510

[JackBeck]

40. Thanks!

The reaction at the end of the video was the same as ours.

[bigwillq]

32. I think Kathy Griffin is very, very funny.

She cracks me up. Was watching one of her standup shows on Bravo last night.
Her bit on Celine Dion is so freaking funny! :rofl:

[redqueen]

34. Is that the one where she does that walk?

Is it Celine she's doing when she does the walk?

[NashVegas]

33. She's a Riot But I Can't Take the Farrah Fawcett Hairdo

[mitchum]

35. That was always my favorite response to a heckler...

or
"I don't go down to your mom's job and tell her how to suck cocks, do I?"

[krispos42]

38. What, no link?

Oh, look:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsR8DVGS9bM




I guess she didn't realize the audio was still on... :rofl:

[redqueen]

39. Yup, post 30... someone put it up in the Video forum...

I love her modification of the old standby... why bring someone's mom into it?
