Birth Name:
Kathleen Mary Griffin
Kathy Griffin, a native of Chicagoland, is the youngest of five children. She has three older brothers and an older sister. When her parents retired to California, Kathy moved west with them after finishing high school and began trying to break into show business. She performed with the Groundlings and then paid her dues doing stand-up at various clubs until she was discovered. From there, she appeared on Suddenly Susan, a sitcom that served as her big break. Using her sudden fame as a platform, Kathy appeared as guests on other popular sitcoms, including Seinfeld, whichMore slowly eased her into the public's eye. When reality television forced its way into the entertainment business, Kathy, like the rest of America, fell in love with the genre and subsequently appeared on many of them, hosting NBC's Average Joe and winning ABC's inaugural season of Celebrity Mole. Now, after several comedy specials, the raven-haired comedian simply enjoys life at home and on the road as a "D-List" celebrity. Her life, as well as her terrifically shocking and hilarious commentary on Hollywood, is currently being chronichled in Bravo's Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List.

    Kathy Griffin is sarcastic, bi**hy, blunt and honest, and it is for this reason that people adore her, but celebrities do not. hide show

    Kathy Griffin is an amazingly talented comedienne. Her humour is of an acquired taste mixing a no holds barred usage of profanity with the celebrity gossip and backstage rumours we have come to love her for.

    She has countless specials and her own double Emmy winning TV show, my life on the D-list, which shows both the glamorous life of Kathy Griffin with some hard hitting truths like her public divorce and passing of her father.

    Kathy is the ultimate f*g hag, she attracts gays like no one else and she too actively seeks and prefers the gay audiences as they get her and allow her humour to flourish.

    Her humour is sarcastic, bi**hy, blunt and honest however it has got her into trouble many a time, and she is the first to admit it.

    If you love Joan Rivers, you are sure to love Kathy Griffin.

    Does she think she's all that and a bag of potato chips? hide show

    Does she think she's all that and a bag of potato chips?
    I really think she is full of herself, and an example would be the acceptance speech she gave the when she won an Emmy award for her program, "My Life on the D-List"
    She said, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." And then she puts her arms up and says "This award is my God now!" Wow, it's one thing to not believe, but to outright slap the diety of millions of people on earth is just downright insulting. I have yet to hear someone do to other religious leaders. Imagine is she used the word "Allah" or "Muhammad", she would have rightfully gotten flack from the media and others, as what happened to the artists that drew Muhammad in some newspaper comic strip.
    I'm so disappointed when actors slam religious leaders.

    Awesome comedian! hide show

    Seriously, Kathy Griffin is a comic genius! I love her stand-up and My Life on the D-List. She tells things as they are, which most people are too afraid to do. I really admire her for that. Plus, she makes it funny. Kathy is brilliant in her representations of Hollywood.

    I also love that Kathy doesn't seem to get too big for her britches. She displays her opinions opening and honestly and hystarically, but doesn't expect everyone to agree with her.

    Also, you have to admire that she is willing to fight back when Barbara Walters says something condesending to her. That was great. Everyone else would crumble, but she just shrugs it off and makes jokes out of it. Best. Comedian. Ever. Period.

    She is awesome! hide show

    Kathy Grffin is great because she is not afraid to speak her mind. She's really raw and out there. I definitely like it when she starts to talk smack about different celebrities! The one about Gweneth Paltrow was HILARIOUS!
    You should definitely watch this one!

    I think my favorite episode was when she was talking about Tyra Banks and saying all this crazy stuff! Although she is a little inappropriate sometimes for little kids I have to admit, but it just depends on ow mature you are I guess.
