Top 5 Reasons why I Love Kathy Griffin!
Kathy Griffin’s My Life on the D-List is off to a great start, and I’m really looking forward to this week’s episode. Most comedians grate on my nerves, so why do I love Kathy? Here are my top 5 reasons!
5. She is tasteful. For someone who spends her days ripping on other celebrities, she does actually know how to be dignified. Take the Anna Nicole Smith situation. Making fun of Ms. Smith was one of Kathy’s favorite things to do, but since her untimely death and the legal battles ensuing, Kathy has kept her lips sealed, respecting the family and fans.
4. She’s not interested in being someone she’s not. Kathy doesn’t apologize for herself–she’s just Kathy. And as we’ve seen on the show, Kathy is funny in her regular life, not just when she’s doing a stand-up act. Nothing turns me off faster than a comedian who is only funny when on stage.
3. She’s a real person, and we get to see that. With most comedians (celebrities in general actually), you don’t get to see the nitty-gritty of their lives. With Kathy’s show, we do…and she’s had some hard times–her divorce, her father’s death. Kathy is a real person, not just a funny person.
2. She’s a strong, black woman. Lol, ok, not black, like her special says…but I get her concept. She’s a women who is accountable for herself, responsible for a business venture, and strong enough to make it through the hard times and keep going. She doesn’t need a man to take care of her (although having Tom move in for security was not a bad idea!).
1. She’s actually funny. I’m pretty hard to impress when it comes to funny people, but Kathy actually makes me laugh out loud. I never get sick of hearing her stories, and the “funny” factor isn’t forced. I love Kathy!
