Kathy Griffin Life on the D List?

Anyone watch this? I caught it while flipping through the channels. I was thinking it was just one of her stand-up specials but it seems it is an actual reality show that follows her around.

In anycase, I thought it was pretty funny. However, I assume most people are annoyed by Kathy Griffin? Thought she was hilarious on the Celebrity Mole.

I like her alot, and I enjoy the show but it's nowhere near as funny as her standup stuff. But I've only seen the first ep, so maybe it'll get better once she's in better situations.

For a "D-list celebrity" she has one hell of a house.

I miss her reality tv rundown show she had for a few weeks (on MTV I think). Sort of like 'Talk Soup' for reality shows.

I've managed to catch this show the last two weeks in a row, and I'm really enjoying it. I saw her on HBO a few years ago and since then she's become the only female stand up comic that I actually find remotely funny.

And her house is real nice for a "D Lister", I agree.

It's her voice I find annoying. Her look before was just as jarring. She looks better now. I always get her lumped together with her annoying counterpart, Andy Dick.

I'm just shocked she only sold 10 copies of her DVD at the New York signing, especially when that one guy bought 4. She gets decent numbers to come out to her performances, but she can't even find 10 people in all of NYC who would like the chance to meet her and chat with her for a minute?

No Bravo Robo? Does that mean you're missing Being Bobby Brown too? Shame.

I love Kathy Griffin and I'm really enjoying her show. Her standup is so conversational, like I do with my girls. She's hard on the celebs, but she doesn't come from a truly mean-spirited place, you can tell how much she loves the stars as well.

Leno took some pretty cheap shots at her expense. And Star Jones...don't get me started on her.

What about Sarah Silverman? She's hilarious! Plus, she's really fair-looking:

I always thought she was related to Jonathan Silverman, they look-alike. No relation though.

Sure you're not mixing her up with Vicki Lewis, who was on Newsradio with Andy Dick?
I watched two of the episodes and all I could think was that if I was a contractor or provided any type of services for fees, I would not get anywhere near her. She'd try and get it free. And she sure does like to hang around Burbank a lot, though I think her house is in the Hollywood Hills.

Sarah is better looking but Kathy is a lot funnier. Sarah seems to have run out of jokes 2 years ago. But Kathy keeps bringing the funny. Also, anyone want to take bets on whose relationship will last longer?

The show so far is good, eventhough it's like an infomercial for her DVD (which I just ordered).

Did you see Silverman on the Pam And roast? She was on fire!

(Not exactly how the joke went, but

"A lot of people think Andy Dick is gay, but that's just not true. Just a minute ago, I saw him ask out Katie Holmes."

Who is Griffith dating?

I suck. I don't have cable or a Dish at home. The only thing I have is Dish tv at work so if it's not on when I'm at work I ain't seein' it.

Yes, reconsider. Reviewers that don't like this show must have sticks up their butts!

I would. The last episode with her DVD signing and "court room" type review of her appearance on the "View" were pretty funny. Plus Jay Leno makes her cry.
