She also so royally pissed off Ryan Seacrest that upon his hiring on E!, she was canned. That makes me like her even more. ---

Isn’t she the airport screener (in a commercial) that makes beeping noises when she waves the wand across the guy’s soft drink (so she can snag his tastey beverage)? ---

> [@DMark](#): > > She has also pissed off a lot of big-name-celebrities by being a tad blunt in her comedy routines That explains that one episode of Seinfeld where she turned calling Jerry The Devil into a popular night club act. The other episode she was on was just on the other night. I love that one. ---

> [@Duke of Rat](#): > > Isn’t she the airport screener (in a commercial) that makes beeping noises when she waves the wand across the guy’s soft drink (so she can snag his tastey beverage)? Yes. The ad, which aired during Super Bowl XL, was for Pepsi’s Sierra Mist. ---

I didn’t really have much of an opinion about Kathy Griffin until I knew this. I don’t want to live in a world where Ryan Freakin’ Seacrest has that kind of power. Support Kathy!!! ---

I liked this part from her LASIK story: > [@](#): > > He also told Kathy that if the case ever reached court, the resulting media attention would be good for his business and that Kathy’s name would be dragged through the mud. I can just see the ad: “Want to correct your vision? Come see Dr. Maloney, the man who blinded that slut Kathy Griffin!” That’s advertising gold! Who _wouldn’t_ want that sort of guy slicing your eyeball up with lasers? ---

Quote: He also told Kathy that if the case ever reached court, the resulting media attention would be good for his business and that \*\*Kathy’s name \*\* would be dragged through the **mud**. Considering Kathy’s name is already mud in many circles, I doubt she was intimidated by the threat. ---

Thank you for answering my questions. The ‘celebrities talking to celebrities who are celebrities because they talk with celebrities’ shows don’t make it over here too often. ---

I never I thought I could find her more annoying… then I read about her getting paid to mention product names during interviews. I’d be interested in giving her a radical headectomy.

There’s a comedian who is incredibly annoying- curly blond hair, black framed glasses, had some kind of “reality” TV show on MTV where people competed for the “prize” of being his PA, I can’t remember his name…anyone know who I mean? Anyway, I always though Kathy Griffin looked like that guy in drag. ---

Andy Dick. Best known for his role on News Radio and more recently on that show about the “fat” girl who’s like, pretty much normal human size, who works for Eric Roberts. Nobody’s Perfect, I think? ---

Thanks\*\* Otto\*\* it is indeed [Andy Dick](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004873/). No-one else seems to get that Andy Dick is Kathy Griffin thing except me, though. ---
