…so I watched a bit of Kathy Griffin and Anderson “Brillo Hair” Cooper’s New Years’ Eve show on CNN.
Now, Cooper is neither fish nor fowl as far as vacuous prettyboy talking heads-masquerading-as-journalists go. But I kinda felt sorry for him as I watched…
…because there’s a reason Kathy Griffin is on the “D” list.
“What a deeply obnoxious person”, I thought – knowing, of course, that that’s exactly why she was hired. She barged in on pretty much everything Cooper said – not that that made us miss anything, of course, because he was playing the straight man. But Griffin gives “classless and vulgar” a bad name, I thought, flipping the TV off after about five minutes.
Turns out I was right, and missed the “fun” part:
Comedienne Kathy Griffin may be doomed to life on CNN’s S-list after answering a heckler with a shrieking, vulgar tirade during the network’s live New Year’s Eve broadcast.”Screw you,” she told the heckler. “Why don’t you get a job, buddy? You know what? I don’t go to your job and knock the d- – – out of your mouth.”
[Joke about how “that’d explain a lot about the evening’s bookings” deleted for propriety’s sake].
The raunchy exchange, which occurred well after the ball dropped at midnight, was received with guffaws by the camera crew.
Hopefully it’ll be the start of Griffin’s voyage to the 2011 season of “Rock of Love” or “I Love New York”.
Although I suppose Griffin has a good point, I’d still like to hear AssClown’s side of the exchange.
I saw her in Minneapolis this last October for the wife’s birthday. Her political jokes didn’t really ‘reel in the yuks’, so she put those away about 10 minutes into her routine and went to her old standbys: popular celebrities, her family, and “her gays” (as she refers to them). She can be funny, but it’s hard to imagine her not working blue.
That’s an old standby heckler response. It’s hardly funny for anyone who’s been to numerous comedy shows.
Of course, Kathy Griffin isn’t really funny, so I’m not surprised.
Maybe Prager can give her lessons on how she should comply with the sexual needs of her husband no matter her mood – I mean, if we’re talking about assinine performances in a pundit role…
Non sequitor meet peev, peev , meet non sequitor…
Non sequitor meet peev, peev , meet non sequitor…
No introductions necessary. It would appear they’re already sleeping together.
I mean, if we’re talking about assinine performances in a pundit role…
But to be fair (look it up), it’s less a “celebrity performance” than “something about traditiional values – which is what Prager represents on the radio. And given that he’s in LA talk radio, it’s merely good programming sense to be uppity about it”.
There. That’s better.
