I believe taht Kathy has describe herself as very cheap and wants to get as much free swag as possible. The factthat she used that in her show may indicate that she has issues with money - I think Money issues are among the most powerful emotion triggers. I have a friend who sees something she wants and buys it if she has the money. My training as a child was to always look for a deal and try not to get taken, so it is hard to buy something not on sale. I am working on it. I wanted something today, it was not in my budget, but I just plunked the credit card down and bought it. I will see if I can keep down the urge to return it. I do know that money and children are usually the most frequent reasons in marriage problems.

didn't she get that couch free (or really cheap) last season? For that benefit she had at her house? I'm almost positive she did not pay $25,000 - although that is how much the couch was worth. I love that couch - and that house!

I don't remember her saying she paid 25K for it -- just that it was a 25K couch.

She was having her house updated/renovated in time for the charity benefit at her house. She had her "Live-In Gay Visionary" helping her. While she did say she had the couch custom-made (and it was a $25,000.00 couch), I honestly don't remember her saying she got the couch for free.

I thought she got it for free or at least at a discount too.

I went and looked it up because I could picture her in the store, but couldn't remember what exactly happened. The episode was the very first one of season one. She had to get her house ready for that toys for tots shin-dig. The decorator was volunteering his services for the exposure. When they went to the furniture store, Kathy asked for the sofa for free, but then haggled and ended up with a discount. The other forums say she ended up paying "cost".

Way to go Naja! I never saw Season One, so this clears it up perfectly. Do you have them all on tivo? I got to see Season Two last weekend on Bravo (??is that right) in a marathon session, but never saw any episodes from One.

LOL, for all that exposure the sofa company and designer got, does anybody even remember who they are?..LOL Kat got a good deal for sure..LOL And Teach, I used to have them all on tivo, but had to delete them to make room for the whole American Idol Season...LOL I got that info from visiting about 20+ Kathy forums when I stuck "Kathy Griffin free sofa/couch" into a search..LOL BUT, I did notice someone just requested season one in usenet and if someone does end up fulfilling the request, I would be happy to get them to you.

Thanks. That would be fun (and a nice break from the reading I'm doing in prep. for next year's AP class. They never tell you this in college -- teachers have to work harder than the kids! LOL)

I have never enjoyed Larry King Live more, except when he had the NON hurt Sigfried and Roy guy on or Star Jones.

Not for departing from her husband, but lying about it so bluntly.^^^^ She claimed they were totally reconciled last month while promoting the new show. It was a lie

Compare her story from 40 days ago in the beginning of June on Howard Stern to tonight's Larry King. She lied a little...btw, I LOVE Kathy. (good for 100 downloads) Kathy on Stern a month ago http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=A1235DB83EA05323 (I posted this last month so don't re-download it if you already have it)

I thought her husband's statement was fairly classy, but did show him as a little naive. He declined to discuss the divorce (legally correct behavior), but experssed disappointment that Kathy would use it as part of her act. Comedians always used thier lives as part of their schtick, it is just what they do, draw on experiences and then funny the story up. When I say funny it up I mean lie. It is very obvious that she can make up stuff about other peole and think it is funny, no matter how insulting, but she cannot take it, at all! For a regular situation comic, I can accept hurt feelings and insecurities, but it is sorely out of place for an insult comic. I don't remember Don Rickles crying about what people said about him, but then again, he usually concentrated his insults on those in the immediate vicinity, not people who were not there.

I think Kathy is funny, but I don't get why her husband had to sneak the $72k. In California, all funds earned during the marriage are community property. Wasn't it legally his money, too? If the situation was reversed and it was a woman "sneaking" money from her rich, celebrity husband, would anybody call it stealing? I think more people would be wondering why he/she felt they needed to be sneaky about it (control issues with the monied spouse?). Why didn't she just give him the money? I do understand the trust issue, though, since he did it behind her back.

Thanks for posting the link to Howard Stern's show, Naja. Though I love Kathy, I remembered why I can't stand Howard and had to bail out towards the end of the interview. Ack!!! Gross!!!

It is very obvious that she can make up stuff about other peole and think it is funny, no matter how insulting, but she cannot take it, at all! She's been very open about her neurosis over how others see her. She is also very self-deprecating. She makes plenty of fun of herself. How many celebs would publicly admit a fraction of the stuff she shows in her life?
