I thought Kathy did great in Iraq with the troops. It was fascinating watching how she had to tweak her act to figure out what would be funny for them. She is really one smart cookie. I admire people with such quick wit and versatility. I probably would have started crying on stage when they booed my first joke..LOL

I saw the part of the show where she had the guy as a house guest - I thought he looked painfully shy. Perhas he should not have bid, but I think he might have just been doing a bit for Kathy. She does set up scenes that are like all reality shows, purely scripted.

As to Kathy taking what she gives out. She has been known to tell people to get a sense of humor if they don't like what she says, so it is very hypocritical for her to blow up a single remark, rude at she might have felt it, into a drama queen moment. She has no qualms about going after people in their most sensitive spots.

There was that skit on Seinfeld, where she played a woman who took everything he said and made it into a show called "Jerry Seinfeld is the devil". The interesting part is that she did that in real life. Aparently that appearance was the pay off to get her off his back. If Kathy does not care about anyone else's feelings or how what she says may affect others, I don't see why anyone should care about her feelings. Turnabout is fair play.

Hi Sadiesmom, her bit in her real show was "about" her time on Seinfeld. So how could her stint on Seinfeld been a payoff? That doesn't make sense. The stint on Seinfeld happened before she added him to act.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I thought she herself had said during that Leno episode that she's the type who can dish it out but can't take it. That's why she was so angry at herself for crying in front of Leno. She wasn't so much complaining about what he said, but about how she embarrassed herself by crying in front of him. I think it was one of those situations where the people backstage reacted as if she had reason to be really upset, and that made her feel worse.

Boy, it's a good thing she brought "Stuart" along. She really bombed with those soldiers. I'm sure by now they can sense when these celebrities are using them for a publicity stunt and don't really believe in what they're doing out there. I do admire how she is able to go with the flow and come up with material on the spot, though.

No, you aren't wrong Curly, she said it. The thing I found mistaken is the Seinfeld thing. In her act a few years ago, she made fun of how Jerry greeted her like a nothing when she would show up for work at his set for his show.

If she was including Seinfeld 'set' stuff in her act, I don't think there was some kind of agreement where she got a Seinfeld spot in an agreement to stop making fun of Jerry. The making fun of Jerry happened 'after' she appeared on Seinfeld.

She bombed the first set, but I thought she was pretty good at adapting the rest of her performance for her audience.
I didn't feel like she was using them for publicity. There are too many hoops to jump through and too many risks. I think the troops aren't getting alot of support from the entertainment crowd. I admire her for going even though she disagrees with the war, she still is support the guys.

I also agree with Texannie. Unless you are watching her show, you wouldn't know about her trip. I haven't seen anything about it in the media.

I'm a big fan of Kathy Griffin (and I'm not gay. lol) and wish I had the money to bid on spending a weekend at her house! I think she would be fun and cool to hang out with (and Matt does too!) - not to mention the gorgeous house!

I happen to enjoy her comedy.

I find Kathy to be a very giving and caring person - despite what she says for comedy. She gets involved with a lot of charity work - and she was doing that prior to her having a show. I don't believe she does it purely for her own gain (publicity).

What she did for the troops was genuine. (I also hadn't heard about it till her show)

It's funny. I wasn't a huge fan of hers acting wise, but I sure love this show and her standup.

"I'm sure by now they can sense when these celebrities are using them for a publicity stunt and don't really believe in what they're doing out there."

In '03, she toured Afghanistan, Kuwait and Uzbekistan. She went to Iraq in '05 and this year. I doubt you heard about any of these tours, especially the latest, unless you watched the show. I had heard that she was one of the entertainers that the U.S.O. can depend on, so I Googled it. That's how I know. Not from her, running to every camera and mic on every show she was booked.
As a matter of fact, the U.S.O. is having a hard time getting entertainers to go to Iraq, because it is hell. She goes, which is much more than most of the so-called troop supporter talking heads can muster.

Did anyone watch Larry King when she was on? (I think it was supposed to be Monday or Tuesday night?)
I was watching Extra on Monday, and they had a clip of Kathy on Larry King, and she said that Matt stole money from her - and something like $70,000 when all was said and done. I'd love to see the entire interview because a)I like Kathy, b)to hear the whole story with Matt - in context.
So I'm wondering if anyone caught the show?

I thought I heard a few weeks ago that she did end up divorced from Matt - that it didn't work out. I think I heard it on one of her late night talk show appearances before her show started. She explained that during the filming they were trying to reconcile, but ultimately it didn't work out. Also, with my memory, I wasn't 100% sure I was correct in remembering that they are not together since I haven't heard much about it again - so I never mentioned it.
btw - I never heard of what the problems were in the marriage though...

Matt seemed like such a great guy and so supportive of her. I'm really curious about the "whole story".

It was bumped for the North Korea missile story, and never re-scheduled. (Thank God)

You can never really know the "real" story of a break up from one or both sides. The real story is usually just for family.

Yeeps!! this is from Reality Blurred on July 5th....I only googled for the sotry after they were tlaking about it on Best Week Ever on Vh1:

Kathy Griffin reportedly divorced Matt because he stole $72,000 from her

In an interview with Larry King scheduled for last night, Kathy Griffin reportedly told Larry that she filed for divorce from her husband because “My ex-husband was sneaking into my wallet.” She added, “That money totaled $72,000.” That interview was preempted by news of North Korea’s missile-firing fun.

Reporting on that, Entertainment Tonight also apparently noted that her divorce became final in May, even though Kathy and Matt had reconciled. However, the Entertainment Tonight story has been deleted, although the headline remains.

Earlier, gossip blog Janet Charlton’s Hollywood reported, without citing any sources, that “Matthew moved into his own place last year. For this season’s tapings Matt always arrived early in the morning before the cameras, and PRETENDED to be still living in Kathy’s hillside mansion. The marriage is OVER although Kathy and Matt are still good friends.”

CNN has yet to reschedule the Kathy Griffin episode, so we’ll just have to wait for that to hear the full story.

Hmm, I wonder how closely it will match what she said in June on Howard Stern. She said in June that right now at this point in real time, they are fully reconciled, and live together, but will remain divorced. Then she said she can't tell the whole reason for the divorce until the tv shows airs. I forget how long she said they were living apart, but I do think she said it was year or so.

Thanks Eeye... I will set my VCR for Monday night's interview.

What strikes me as kind of odd about the whole thing is they live in a multi-million dollar home, we know she spent $25,000 alone on the custom-made sofa that Pom-Pom chewed up, so why steal $72,000.00 from your spouse when money is not an issue? Its just odd. I can't wait to see the interview.
