Who knew it was so hard to be Suzanne Somers? She must be exhausted running that empire of hers, what with all those homemade sugar substitutes, Thigh Masters, and baubles. I’ve always had a dream to leave my successful stand-up comedy career behind, and become a sell-out. What’s it gonna take for you people?

But we’ll get to my taking over the world of merchandising in a bit. First, on the homefront: So, I’m trying to get my mom to move into my house, and it’s been like that book “He’s Just Not That Into You” because I feel like with my mom, I’m dating a dude who’s kind of leading me on, but I think he’s got other chicks on the side. My mom is also doing that book “The Rules,” where she plays hard to get, and I have to keep calling her, trying not to sound too desperate on the phone.

My favorite thing is that my mom told me she didn’t want to decide right away if she wanted to come live with me because she “wanted to take a few years to think about it.” She’s 86. I’m not going to press her for an answer until she’s into her early 120s -- you can’t rush these things.

I would have to wait for my mom’s response until after my gig in my hometown of Chicago.

Hi Again! I love this episode, and you Kathy! I wish I can see you in a actual show, but mother says it's not "age-appropriate". Whatever. I'll just watch the shows online and on TV, because no matter what, you rock! Gosh, I don't know why anyone hates you! you just make a few... harmless jokes... and they're just jokes. Some people need to take chill pills!
Best of luck everywhere, and I wish I saw the actual HSN advertisment! You rock!!!!
One of your "Tween" Fans,
~Micah~

I've been a fan for awhile, really enjoy the satrical side, though I'd like to see the other side also, as far as HSN well, i think you could sell whatever... you have one of those personalities that aside from all the jokes, they trust you...

Its gotta be diffucult with cameras around all the time to open yourself up for everything, I admire your courage...

Thanks for sharing, Steve
P.S. Need a date in KC holler

Another great show!

Talking to those kids at the school was beyond words. If I had a stand up comedian come to my school, oh my god. I would have brought a camera with two rolls of films and would have asked you to pose with me for all of them. Then I would go around and say "Yeah, I know kathy." Those kids were so lucky.

It was wonderfully sweet (and seemed natural) to invite your mom to live with you but funny that she didn't jump on it. Your mom is a sweet heart and you're a great daughter!

Another hysterical show! I had to leave my guy's house and come home to finish watching it. Jeez....what is it with straight guys not getting it? He kept switching channels to Deadliest Catch and I'm yelling...."stop it....what is so fascinating about a big cage of huge nasty crabs?" Yuck. But it is manly TV, I guess. So I went home and finished watching my girl...then watched it again in rerun. I guess my guy doesn't understand nuance and sarcasm. His loss! Love you, Kathy! You're beautiful. You're real. You're EveryWoman. Well, EveryWoman with the mouth like a sailor....and I love it!!! (And you are so tiny....you need to give workout tips on a blog...whatever you're doing is doing the trick, chick)

Kathy,
You were hysterical on HSN...I would buy anything you were selling, just to keep you on the air! And your date with Ron Jeremy was great to watch. It certainly caught the attention of the press.
Just wanted you to know how much I enjoy your comedy. When I went to see you live, it was the funniest thing I have ever experienced.
Hugs to your funny, lovely mom, and to you, too.

I am so sorry that I didnt get this in last week but I could not Quit crying. Your Dad reminded me so much of mine. Y ou may get this though. When I was in my 20s [and lookin good ] I bought some summer blouses and I was showin to my parents my ensamble, My Dad said " Very nice, now what are you gong to do with the other tit ?" That wa s My DAD and I loved Him! God bless you and yours. Beck

God! I hope you get this friggin email after I write it...I went to Google search to try to find out what URL is --I read several things and still don't understand what to put in that block. Anyway, this is what I have to say: you need me to edit your material. I am between your mother's conservatism and your liberalism. Your current team is probably more like bobbing head toys than being frank with you. Yeah, I joke alot, too.
I am really not that much older than you are. I do have 23 years of real "bona-fide" nursing experience--RN. You probably could use a good nurse on your team.
I am married. My husband is the "straight man", but he is so hilarious in the role. He adores his job so no need to make room for him on the Griffin team. Since I have fibromyalgia; and, therefore, haven't worked in over three years now, he'd just like to see some green from me. He married a nurse in March '03. I stopped working Nov '03. How's that?
Now, water recharges my "batteries"; so if your home doesn't have an ocean view, I hope we can start looking for one that does soon. Team Griffin should help generate some dough for you---if not, you really do need me!! I know we can make the money for our salaries and the home by the ocean. Can you do three or more gigs a day 24/7/365??? You can now, girl! Again, I do joke regularly and readily. Oh! Doesn't that make you a great "motto" for the Team? Team Griffin--counting on comedy 24/7/365. Hey, that's just off the top of my head. I'm talented, creative; but, mostly, available!!! Working at being "worthy" :=) Rhonda

I love your show, my domestic partners do to. We cried when we watched the show when your dad passed and we deeply want you to know we are sorry for your loss. We think you are great and hell you to us you are the A-list .Love ya.

I agree with Cristina and I have no idea how you did that; I'm surprised those kids were even as respectful as they were. Those kids were lucky and I hope one day, probably not now cause kids are selfish little...um...things, but I hope that one day they can appreciate that

Hey Kathy!! This is my first time writting to a Blog.First of all,I am so sorry about your dad's passing;I think it would have been a nice idea to have saved him a seat on the front row at the Chicago show as a way of making him more present there,but that's none of my business...Also,just wanna to let you know that I am one of your gays,and I got all my friends hooked on your show,and I wanted to kill my ex boyfriend when he and his boyfriend got to see you in San Diego...When are you coming to Palm Springs!? Please come back,ou don't have to stay at the Parker,I hook you up at a VERY A List resort , for FREE!!!! Come to the Desert and let's burn this place down!!! (actually,it's 115 degrees here,so it's pretty much burning itself down!) Anyway,the HSN episode was,in my opinion,THE BEST one EVER!!!! You were so hillarious!! And best of luck on your dating life and with the whole HSN deal!! You are a hard working girl and deserve nothing but the best and to be happy!!!!

Hey Kathy
I am just so excited to say hey you have one of our phones... I work at a call center for the New AT&T (formerly Cingular)! Have watched you for years and LOVE U... you are so funny ;0 I work the late shift but never miss your show I always record you on the DVR and watch you as soon as I get home, so when they showed the closeup of your phone tonite I rewound and paused to check your company. Yes, now I know we are by far the best company if a fab star like you uses us! You have really chosen the right wireless serivce not only are we the best provider but the place is crawling with gays ;) So me and all my gays will be waiting breathlessly for your call...

Hugs and big kisses

PS so sorry to hear about your dad, I have lost both my parents so I understand how hard it is, good for you getting mom to move in... she is putting up the strong front but she really needs you around to keep her laughing.

Robert C. wrote:

Kathy,
I just have to take a moment and tell you, you are simply "Brilliant"
I howl at every show, and love the way you deal with all the "idiots" who don't get your incredible humor.

I am also very sorry about the passing of your father, he reminded me so much of my dad, so many of the same qualities. He passed
2.5 years ago. Humor can heal all, so please keep doing it forever.

I was a little jealous of Tom in the beginning because I thought, hey, I can be Kathy's assistant....I used to be a Concierge for 20 years, and I am from Chicago! :)
But Tom is very kewl, I love that he is laughing more these days,
at HSN he was actually howling in the green room, which was great. Keep up the good work Tom

Your mom is so kewl and you have done a good deed by inviting her into your home. Parents that are older, especially ones that have lost their spouse, need to be needed, your mom is doing amazing for her age, and I think she will continue to flourish in your busy home and life.

I thought the guy who greeted you first at HSN (The producer)
was very hot, and I was hoping you were going to dish with him but it didn't happen. I think you were treading lightly
at HSN, I am sure it's quite overwhelming, even for such a pro as yourself.

Love you Kathy, and your Team!
Bravo to you and BRAVO!
Hugs from the heartland,
Robert C

Hi Kathy, I have to be honest. I use to hate your show and then it actually grew on me and I really do like it. First let me say I loved your Dad and am so sorry for your loss. I know I was devastated when I lost my Dad and eventually my Mother. I can really relate to you in so many ways. I would love to see your show one day. Best of luck to you. I look forward to the new season and if you ever need someone to work for you as a nurse that will also do light duties (haha) or stay with your Mother while you are working that really has a since of humor, you have my email address. Cudos on your new season, like your new HUGE staff, yep I believe you are close to big time celebrity, and please give your Mother my regards. I love the "staff meeting". I always laugh so hard at that.

Dear Kathy:
It's ironic-the only other celebrity I have ever written to was your old buddy Rosie! I am a fairly new convert to the D-List and I really enjoy your show, though I wish you would treat Tom better. He looks as if he could use the help...Also, I want to commend you on what you said about Ron Jeremy in your blog. When I watched tonight's episode, I just thought that you went out with him because you would end up in a tabloid. I was pleasantly surprised that you liked him because he went after the Religious Right and debated them on their concept of "Godliness" and other First Amendment issues. With the Supreme Court tilted towards the right now, "free speech" will be harder to maintain. I applaud you for supporting it. Also, please do not call yourself a a "whore". Paris Hilton on Larry King Live tomorrow night-that's a different story!

Keep on fighting the powers that be and create your empire. Soon, "Griffin Air" will be in our friendly skies!

Kathy! You are by far the most brillant, gifted and hard working talents in showbiz. You will become a legend in your own right right next to Rich Little, Phyllis Diller. You work so hard. I'm so glad that Bravo finally put on some talent, after junk like Housewives of OC...what a shallow bunch they showed. I will totally support you on HSN. Again, I applaud HSN! I am so sorry about the passing of your father and I wish the best to you and your mom and crew. Thanks for adding joy into my home every week. hugs, gg

Hey Kathy!
I just watched this episode and again it was fantastic! You never cease to amaze me. And I admire your strength, courage, and perseverance to succeed even with the recent loss of your much adored father. He was a great man, even though I didn't know him personally.
It is such a relief to have someone like you on television; meaning someone who has yet to fall into the hands of the police and other ridiculous trouble! I trust that you will always be a worthy role model to everyone and I can only hope that there are more impressive people like you in the world!

Thank you for bringing light back into the world.
Please come do a show somewhere in the Bay Area in northern California?
THANK YOU!

I came accross your show while channel surfing,and I enjoyed your sence of humor. I'd like to see one of your shows in person. Are you coming to the S.F. bay area in the near future?
Sorry to hear about your dad, I share your feeling of loss. My wife passed on a few years ago and I'm still missing her. I think my wife would have enjoyed your comedy. Like you, as a single dad I'm also experiencing the fright of trying to date again. Its been along time since I had to make a good first impression maybe I can learn something from you. Best of luck. You're hot and you will get a good guy.

Kathy do what you do and continue forward, your reward is huge, what you've done for your self is really huge. But you've done for people coming on your coat tails is GIAGANTIC.

Emily wrote:

Despite the fact that Suzanne Somers actually terrifies me (she's just so shiny and glow-y all the time), I wish you good luck with your dream. Echoing the sentiments of everyone I'm sure, I wish you and your family all the best. Coming from a big, cursing Irish-Catholic family, watching your parents was like being with my own crazy family.

Also- I definitely think Jennifer Flavinhypenstallone was totally intimidated by the fact that you have personality and looks. She's got that freakishly shiny thing going on too though- go figure.

Kathy,
I too went to my high school prom with someone who is now gay. Although, I kinda had an idea at the time - part of why I went. He was safe, fun and NO romantic ties at all. Funny enough, made for the most fun prom I ever went to (only closely followed by the one where I got arrested).
I am so addicted to the D-list. Watched a marathon of it yesterday and was touched by the episode of you losing your dad. What a great and funny guy he was! Your mom is a hoot too. I appreciate you putting yourself out there in a vulnerable way.
My husband and I laughed until we practically pee'd our pants. You're on your way! Bring your act to KC, we'd buy tickets in a heartbeat!

Dearest Kathy,
I am so sorry for not acknowledging your loss! I have never written to anyone in the business (A-Z list included). I had just read 3 responses to Jessica--(all asking HER to ask YOU something). I thought "Gee, she really is YOUR ASSistant---or so these folks seem to think." Sooo I chose to write to you directly. I was too busy "playing" with you to think about your recent wounds. I am sorry. I offer the following for what it is worth:
About your grief over the two major life event losses this past year, in my experience, you never get over it. It never goes away. It is only that heavy weight of it hits you less and less. Now, it will hit you out of no where. Something triggers a memory or a feeling and you are wailing! Whether others see it or not, that burning, knife-stabbing, can't catch your breath pain is there. It comes fairly often at first; but, then starts to come less and less often. But when it does, it is just as intense as it ever was if you allow yourself to feel it.
About your mom moving in, you probably need her more than she needs you. She had him with her 24/7, so while she misses his actual presence; I doubt she would have any guilt about what she did or did not do. Those usually have less guilt than those of us who were away and could not be there. By being there, I mean "BEING THERE". It is harder for us, because we truly miss our loved ones; but also feel so much guilt and guestions--should I have done this? Should I have done that? IF I had only.....and on and on and on. I realize you were "there" for your dad and do not mean to imply otherwise. I was referring to your feelings. Anyway, there is probably a symbiotic need there. With your mom, when the cameras are off, you can share. You can grieve. You need her. Thanks for the opportunity to allow me to "Dr. Phyllis" it for a while.
Hugs and smiles, Rhonda
P.S. Please tell Jessica "Hi" for me and "Hats off to you, girl!"
P.S.S. Please tell your mom, there is a huge population praying for her (and her family) and loving her from a distance (and often through your eyes).
P.S.S.S. Tell Tom, he's one of those who "grows on you." As you get to know him more and more, he becomes more likeable rather than less. Still, he's a straight guy. Time will tell. He still has testosterone and he still has a penis, probably. He has to be tested over time:=)
P.S.S.S.S. Please tell Tiffany her cheeks are adorable when she blushes. I actually saw a glimpse of TIFFANY when her grammie called the show. I bet she is sweet, but it is the "quiet ones you have to watch", isn't it? Bet she is quite mischievous given the chance.....
P.S.S.S.S.S. Do you mind passing all these messages? Guess I could've written them directly, but that just didn't seem to be what I noticed as the way to do things on here; or perhaps in the nation or the world......
FINALLY, I'll share a very favorite quote: "Everything in moderation--including moderation!?!?!?!" Great, huh?

Rhonda Housand wrote:

Oh,a nd about, Jennifer Stallone---I know you were being funny and not insecure (flash back to Jay Leno). I think the girl was on live t.v. and tried to respond in a positive way about your being better about being the before model. I believe when she said "You should be." , I think she meant you have every right to be because you are a pretty woman." Not you should be bitter you are an ugly bitch dog....#1--it wouldn't be good for her business to portray that kind of personality on tv---she was trying to be little miss nicey, nicey by saying "well, you should be. You are just too darned pretty to be a before model". I know you have never said anything in the heat of the moment that could be or was misunderstood; so just try to understand and have pity on her. Like I said in the beginning, I hope you just saw an opportunity and jumped in there with your humor; never really seeing it as meant to be an insult to you. Now, when do you start paying me some sort of salary? Seems I could be on the team just via email with some scheduled visits for team meetings........Hugs and smiles (you gotta love me, don't ya? Hell, if for no other reason, I could you give so much material. I have so many weaknessess!!!!!!!!), Rhonda
P.S. The other nurse on here tried to "steal my thunder" offering her services for your mom. I did not want to imply your mom needed any nursing services in any capacity--although I do still have those skills if needed....Now, as for "psychological" aspects of nursing and good counseling methods and techniques and innnate personality traits of "understanding"--seeing, hearing, and feeling---Girl, you and the rest of them team---well, that's something else all together, isn't it?????:=)

Hello,

I am impressed by the honesty and kindness of Kathy Griffin. This is by far the best reality TV show I've ever watched. I've always enjoyed Kathy's work and this show stands out. Someone who is not afraid to work, hustle and do what needs to be done to pay the bills, incredibly inspiring. Also, an emotional openness like nothing I've ever witnessed on TV. In my opinion this is the best of what reality tv has to offer. I mean, you know, Flavor of Love is uplifting in its own way. Seriously, thank you for a marvelous window in to a genuine person's life.

Please come through Utah, I am sure I can round up at least 10 of my friends to come see you. We could do it at the Buca Di Beppo at the Pope table. No worries, I'll buy.

If you read this... Even though you want to date someone to get famous, I totally think you and Tom(your assitant) should totally hook-up. Or you guys should become sex-buddies. Just to let you know if you ever decide to become a lesbian I think you would become a good one. Anyway totally think about that Tom thing. Or make a plan when your not dating someone 'famous' then date Tom. You two are perfect for eachother. Or as I said before dothe sex-buddies thing. Just post on your blog if you'll consider it.
your fan, perfection
p.s if you use this in your act or mention something on your show I that would be great(hint hint) well anyway thats it love ya

Kathy and Team Griffin-

Too funny. Wish I could catch you Friday night at the State Theater, but as you know, you are SOLD OUT again!

As far as your mom living with you, I would start pressuring her to make a decision not long after her 110th birthday. After that, she's probably just taking advantage.

Hi There - I love your show, you're flippin' hysterical! You swear so much and are so rude... I love it! When are you coming to the Twin Cities to do a show? I would pay money to see you. I think that you're a hard worker and your staff is so funny. What a cool job to have. Take care of yourself. I look forward to seeing another episode to find out what crazy thing you're going to do.

This was the funniest episode yet. I think Jessica is alot happier with more assistansts around her. I would buy anything from you on HSN as long as it is uder $50.00, I am on a budget. I have been watch your show religiously and it is helping me with the "baby blues". I am on maternity leave and needed something to pick me up. I hope Tom Cruise approves of your comedy as treatment, at least it is not antidepressants, God forbid. NEWSFLASH-Robin Thicke is now blacker that Justin Timberlake. He was nominated for best R&B artist on the BET awards, I bet that just pissed JT off. Robin is married to a black women, so I think that firmly cements him in the black community. A host on BET said " I could get with that white boy". As soon as tickets go on sale I am going to the Seattle or Richmond B.C. show. I live in LYNDEN, which is five minutes from the border. You have to come here, it is Dutch so it has those balls of dough you like so much. It also has the most churches per square mile in the US, sell no alcohol on Sunday and I was told the movie Footloose was based on this town. I think you should walk down the streets saying "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck". P.S. Do you meet fans after your shows?

Hi Kathy,
Everyone in my house knows that Tuesday is "Kathy Night" and no one can bother me for absolutely anything while your new episode airs. And you never disappoint, I have never laughted out loud more at any other TV show. I also take full credit for "introducing" you to my 23yr old daughter and she is is your 2nd biggest fan in the house. In fact, for Valentine's Day this year my husband surprised the 2 of us with tickets to your live show in Westbury NY this past April. You were in that theater where you slowly rotated the entire show - insane way to perform, but you didn't miss a beat - we rolled! I also love your parents on the show. The "in memory" still shot of your Dad at the end of last week's episode brought tears to my eyes. You're right to keep your Mom surrounded by people, that beautiful smile she had on her face while ironing and listening to you and Tom was precious. Keep those laughs coming, you're the best!

I finally had to come online and say what a huge fan I am! You are hilarious, sweet and so endearing! I just can't get enough of your show and even when I've seen an episode I'll watch it again when it's repeated througout the week. It never fails that I miss something and always laugh the 2nd or even 3rd time around watching an episode. This episode was great, I thought you were fabulous on HSN, the school kids were cute and it was funny how the adults in the room seemed a little miffed! People need to lighten up and have a sense of humor, you're hilarious!

My sympathy to you and your family with the loss of your father too, that episode had me all choked up. It was really touching and it's wonderful you have such a great relationship with your parents.

Kathy,

Keep working on your mother to move in. I think the hardest part of trying to look after your folks as they get older is making sure they think they still have their independence; whether they do or not. At least if they're living with you, you can influence their choices. I completely enjoy your show and I loved the input from your parents and the rest of the characters. I had a young lady in my office named Jessica and I tortured her on ocassion by calling her name, loudly. She watches your show now, she's a fan.

By the way, I have a Suzanne Sommers thighmaster if you want to start your business by selling/discounting other things sold by celebrities on HSN.

Kathy,
I love your show - you absolutely tickle me. I think you are one of the funniest humans on the planet. I was so upset that I missed your show recently in Denver - I went to one a year or two ago and laughed so hard my face hurt. The show dealing with your dad's passing was touching and poignant. Those big photos of him that were professionally done where he's making faces - they really captured (what I've seen of) his personality. My dad died when I was 18, and I wish I would have had him longer. Your dad got to see you become a success, and accomplish so much - professionally and personally. I could go on. I won't. You're aces, baby.

Dear Kathy- Although I’ve never spent money on tickets to see you or bought merchandise related to you I am a huge fan. You are very, very funny no matter what anyone says.

I hate to be the one to say, but I think you have a character flaw. I noticed it while watching you on TV. It seems like you get all of your laughs by making fun of people. Well, that is, yourself included which may indicate deeper problems.

Yes, I think you use people to your own ends. Like when you went out with that 27 year old guy from Kids on the Block. Did you ever wonder how he felt about being your boy toy for the evening? Really Kathy, that makes people feel bad.

But mostly I’m worried about your staff, those two nice girls and the tortured guy. First I hope you take responsibility for that guy’s tortured state. Maybe you are pushing him too hard. Maybe you could cut him some slack so he can settle down.

And those girls look like very nice girls, but I wonder if you ever sit down and talk to them about their lives. Maybe they need to confide in you once in a while. Honestly, and I don’t mean to hurt you feelings but, on that show on Bravo it seems to be all about “YOU, YOU,YOU.” Maybe you should think that your viewers would like a little break from your face on the screen all the time.

But, who am I? I can only offer these suggestions and hope that someday you’ll be a good person. Good luck. You will need it!

Hello!
I think I accidently wrote something that sounded rather rude, Kathy. I'm terribly sorry. When I wrote, "Gosh, I don't know why anyone hates you!" I meant why the... heck (In nicer terms) do some celebrities hate you? And several non celebrities as well? We need humor nowadays, peoples! Don't shoot them down just because they make fun of your favorite celebs (Have you ever made a joke about Paris Hilton? You should. It would probably make tons of people laugh... if they don't like Paris!).
Again, I wish I could meet you! I heard you were coming to S.A.!! I NEED TO GO!! And I don't care if you swear some much- I hear it at school everyday! It's like an everyday thing for me to hear (Except during the summer. Then I go online, watch videos, and hear it from you. Whatever- it's funny, so who cares?). I wish you can come to my school as well, but I don't think the teachers would like the swearing a lot.... Anyways, go on ^.^
Lots of love from that "Tween",

Kathy -- Both my husband (who is extremely close to being redneck) and I love your show and your standup. It helps that we're not kid people either. If the episode where you lose your Dad does not get you the Emmy, this mild-mannered midwestern director of a non-profit will kick their asses for you. You were so honest and so brave. This is the first fan message I have ever written but I just had to tell you that we never miss you when you are on tv.

Smooches!

Kathy,
This is a bold request, but as you found Jessica an assistant through Craigslist, here goes!

I would LOVE to help out with the show, anything from administrative to in front of the camera. Your show totally inspires me, and I share the same edgey wit that would really mesh with the cast's chemistry. If you need any further help, my background's in Communication, Marketing, & Business. And I'm a real down-to-earth single chick, so I think I'd be a great match with the rest of the team. Thanks for listening. I figured this was worth a shot!

Hi there,
Just catching up on the shows and wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey with your Dad. My Father is terminally ill and it is a tough situation. My Mom and I love you and really love to watch your stand up and the D-list and laugh hysterically and talk about the show regularly. We both agreed that it was therapeutic for us to cry with you too. Good luck and thank you.

I loved how all the kids told your nephew you were cool--there is no greater compliment from a pre-teen. (I know, my 12 yr old daughter's friends think my burgundy hair color is cool ::swoon::)

I kindof get why your mom was hesitant about moving in with you--nothing to do with you, of course. I can imagine it is hard to move back in, as a parent or child, when you've been used to independence.

Hope you and your mom are doing well, as well as "Team Griffin" ;)

Kathy,
I most definitly send my deepest sympathy for your loss of your beloved father. It is weird just from watching the both of them with your mom, I became to love them both two. You are so lucky to have such adorable parents. The fondest memory that I have stuck in my head about your dad that just cracks me up everytime I think about it is: When you asked them what were they doing in the gay bar? and they responded that the HAPPY HOUR HAD $4.00 COCKTAILS". I swear that was the best, he really made me laugh, he was soooooo cute. I'M GONNA MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!!! Well, I've gotta go now, I am actually tearing up as I just typed in those words. You take care and take care of MOM, I LOVE YOU!

So I went to the store today and picked up a copy of Kelly Clarkon's new album and thought of you because you said that you loved her so this led me to and idea. So my idea is that since you love Kelly and I think you too are the best at what you do that we should all hang out, all three of us! You know you'd have fun. haha
But seriously you do rock the world of comedy and I wish you the best of luck! A true comedian isn't afraid to take risks and you definatly don't hold back! Rock on Kathy!

You need a gay man as an assistant. That's how you are going to get up and off the D-List.

So I am available to work, hell for you I would work free of charge, it would just be an honor, kinda like meeting the Pope, but a lil more vulgar : )

She travels all over (where there are casinos of course!) sooo..until she feels like she needs help...I am happy that she is happy! She still misses my Dad alot but has really come a long way!

Take care & good show!

Kathy,
Since you are such an incredible beauty, I find it odd that you turned to the field of comedy. It seems we have had a few drop dead gorgeous women in the past with a comedic flair--Marilyn Monroe comes to mind for some reason. Anyway, it works. Keep it up.
AUSTIN-JULY 20TH. It would have been easier to get tickets living anywhere else in the country but Austin. Austin LOVES you. You don't need to worry about being offensive here...my best advice for your performance her is to let go...totally. While I am thrilled to have been able to obtain tickets to see such a shockingly beautiful comic, I was really really disappointed to be WAAAY back in row O, orchestra section center. It really is almost the last row in the rear of the lower area. I need binoculars. He is the interesting thing if you want to see HOW LOVED YOU ARE IN AUSTIN , CK THIS OUT: Go to Ebay, go to any ticket sights online and you can't find tickets for the Austin gig. I went to Craigslist--nothing for sale--just people begging for tickets. Sad, huh? Guess they are into great beauties too.... I would have payed a lot for tickets closer to you....
Oh well, at least I have Shipley's Donuts and you don't..so there.

Words of wisdom (definitely not my own) that I thought I'd share: Comedy is what happens to other people. So true. After all, if it weren't for Paris and Lindsay and Britney, what would people talk about? Seriously. And just think of all the people they're supporting--car salesmen, liquor store clerks and bartenders, the California legal system...Just boggles the mind.
Two quick things: you work too hard. Take a vacation (or get a travel show--kill two birds.) For HSN? Hope in a jar? Sell whatever you're using--it works. Or spackle. Either way.

I do hope you know that your look on everything is,(in my and my wifes eyes) nothing but truth.
Every episode and show I am lucky enough to catch is an absolute gem! I pray that you will continue to bring out all the b.s. in Hollywood to the front and center. Yes I have been drinking, but my love for you has never been stronger... and no that is not the Red Stripe talking. I only wish I could help you in your mission for more publicity. I just hope that you know that when the audience doesn't respond, it's because they have no mind of their own.

Love you and don't even know you,

Hi Kathy,

I have been addicted to your show since it started and about freaked out when it went off the air for a while. It was the only thing that got me through my student teaching-- that about kicked my friggin ass. OK, so I know I'm late in finding this out, but like an idiot I didn't know that your father died until I saw it on the show and I never saw it coming. I just lost my father-in-law in a tragic plane crash in March, so I haven't been up with the pop culture. When you said that your sister called and told you that your dad died an hour ago, I gasped out loud in shock because I thought he was going to be OK. I cried as I told my husband what had happened--he just looked at me like I was nuts, but he doesn't understand that you have come into my living room and helped me through some stress filled days--oh well. Anyway, I am so sorry for your loss and wish you and your family the best. Now, I have little stress because I can't seem to find a teaching job so I'm back to watching your show every Tuesday and reruns throughout the week--I can't watch it enough. I know my friends and family get tired of me quoting lines from the show and your stand-up. I don't do you justice, but I have to share your comedy with others--I just have to. I think you're great--come back to St. Louis soon and I will make sure I am in the front row.

Hey Kathy! Tuesdays are my Favorite day of the week! I have dinner with my 23 yr old nephew and then I kick him out just in time to watch your show! You are soooo hilarious and REAL. I am so sorry about the passing of your beloved Dad. No need to tell you how very lucky you are. You got many many wonderful years with your Dad and he was so supportive and proud and loving to you, and a comic genius himself. I totally see where you get it! Keep on bringing it. I, like many people, find your comedy theraputic. You make people laugh and forget their troubles.....no better job in the world and no better person to do it! Bring it on gf!

Please take a chance on a bi poloar lesbian to make you laugh please I promise no one will be scared just laughing their asses off.

Hi Kathy,
I am just your regular mom/high school Spanish Teacher/Volleyball coach/soccer mom....Not that I expect some sympathy from any one about the lack of time I have in my life for myself...anyways I am ADDICTED to your show. I am so sorry to admit that I totally missed the 1st season and then just started watching about a month ago. Summer began May 30th for me and I love to watch TV. Just regular TV nothing fancy, can't stand all those decorating and "miracle making" shows. As I watched your show I realized that nothing was done around the house, the kids were fighting and if you can't believe 5 freakin' hours passed by and my booty was still on the couch watching your Show! The boys and my almost 3 year old are used to me laughing by myself and not just a smile but literally cracking up! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Keep up your hard work and enjoy a break every now and then...

Your dad reminded me so much of my dad...I did no wrong in his eyes either...little did they know! He passed away in 2002 at 54 years old.

I saw a few of your shows on Bravo. Did you know that I've never heard a commedian make jokes about the difficulties of travel before. You are so very original! There are other genres that haven't been tapped into yet. Try making note of the differences between husbands and wives! or rip into a politician! oh yes! I think you have a tallent!

Seriously, rent or buy some commedy compilations featuring standup bits from the 80's. Then check to see if you are planning on using the exact same joke that is now so old as to be cleche.

Cheers and good luck. There is room on the E list. Let's hope you don't find yourself filling it.

Kathy,
I find myself watching all your shows over and over again. I love how you say what I am thinking but am not ballsy enough to say. You are my idol. I am so glad that you are doing well since your Dad passed and I am rooting for your Mom to move in with you. Not that I could live with my Mom, but, you have more space than I do.
Have a great summer!

I just adore Kathy. She is really an inspiration to women and I just hope that she knows that. I think she's strong, intelligent and beautiful inside and out in a non-lesbo sort of way. I just really admire how she can be funny through the pain and give so much of herself.
Maybe one day I can be as skinny as she is and have have the personality that she does.

Hi Kathy! I know you hear this a lot but I love watching you on Bravo! I'd love to see you somewhere around the Myrtle Beach area! Life pretty much sucks but you always seem to make me and my boyfriend laugh even at the hardest of times. You need some "country-fied" jokes for when you hit the southern states. I've been all over the south...coming from Kentucky myself...so there's lots to make fun of and lots of southern idiots to laugh at. Hell...you don't have to be a star to be made fun of. LOL

If you ever do make it to Myrtle Beach, SC...remember this...almost all of the well-known serial killers have visited Myrtle Beach in their...umm....career. LOL Makes you want to visit...doesn't it! LOL Yeah...I know...makes me really want to raise a family and make a life in the vacation spot for serial killers. ROFLMAO You do know that if Myrtle Beach is good enough for a serial killer...it's good enough for Kathy Griffin. LOL Just kidding...kind of. :) Take care and I do hope to get to see you one day.

I love your show because you are very funny. Rarely do I watch reruns, but I cannot stop watching your hilarious humor. Comedy certainly runs in your family because your parents are extremely amusing and your nephew has the gift too. I wish to express my deepest sympathy for your father’s passing; he will be greatly missed by all your viewers.

On a lighter note, you looked extremely hot and sexy on your date with Nick Carter you should wear tight jeans more often they really show off your nice ass. Your loose fitting pants, not so much.

Good luck with all of your success!

I love you SO very much that it's causing problems in my relationship. My partner is a firefighter, works 24 hour shifts, and on her days off, would prefer that I not spend all day watching Bravo. Sadly, a couple of weeks ago Bravo ran a marathon of your show, which I had never seen, and I literally watched it ALL DAY LONG. Clearly I have no life, but what I do have is a very pissed off girlfriend. You're coming to Atlanta in a month or so and I'm DYING to go, but the partner, she's not having it. Help me convince her to go!

(PS: she's also a marine. which sounds rather odd, but all the uniforms...my, my, my it's hot)

If You go back to HSN in Florida, then u have to go to Clearwater where the main "spiritual" Scientology Center is. This is the place where Tom Cruise and John Travolta go to really get it on with their Scientology stuff. Jessica do some research and you will see what I mean. It's a small downtown that has been bought up by them in the last 20 years. Go about noon and you will see small groups of people walking around--all dressed alike. Khaki pants, oxford shirts. These people work there. Freaky! About 20 mins From St. Pete and worth it. Try to get in the lobby of Ft. Harrison Hotel. Can't miss it.

If kathy needs an idea for her HSN empire, I have one. I love Kathy's glitter eye shadow and have been on search for some kind like hers for like a year. Checked out everysite and company. Then there are all these warnings that the glitter eyeshadows cause problems-but kathy has no problem with hers. I want the glitter eye shadow-I am jealous! Go ahead kathy, market it -it will sell. I will even break my vow not to shop HSN if she goes on and sells it. The show is great! I am behind your dynasty!
