I didn't see a thread for this series.
Anyone watching season 3?

I'm watching...and not at all surprised that Michigan people were a bit uptight. :-) She needs to come back and try again (and avoid those chili cookoffs! LOL)

I've been watching it (and taping it when I remember) too. I really enjoy her. It's nice to see her human side, when she gets choked up over her dad or her divorce.

I've been watching. Kathy is my favorite female comedian.

She is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight tonight, too. At least she'll get to let loose there, unlike when she co-hosts on The View and they keep her mostly in check.

I love watching her.. She is so politically incorrect, I love it :-)

Thanks Naja, will watch Kimmel to see her on it.

I wonder what happens to her dad though in the next episode, it doesn't sound good :-(

About Kathy's dad

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
During Kathy's rounds promoting her new D-list season, she said her dad has passed away. I don't know if his death is actually going to be shown as part of the show, or just his illness getting worse. I guess we'll know soon :-(

I loved when the male assistant (too lazy to remember his name) said "Bla bla bla, I'm Kathy Griffin"! I went around yesterday saying "Bla bla bla, I'm Kathy Griffin!"

Ok, I know nobody gives a crap, but...
This goes to show how unreal "reality" shows are.
She did three shows in Michigan.
One in Benton Harbor which is on the far West
side of the state close to Indiana border. She would have been better off going to Grand Rapids
as it has a large Metro area.
She did Jackson, which is about an hour plus outside Detroit.
She should have done Ann Arbor which isn't that far from Jackson. Huge University area and it would have drawn more people.
The third show was in Clinton Twp which is 30 minutes from Detroit.
I went to that show. It was sold out (or darn close) and had been for a looong time.
So, they didn't even mention that show, because it wouldn't have fit the "storyline" of tonight's episode.
Then, Jessica said she had fans email Kathy's website and beg for Kathy to come visit. Kathy's webmaster posted an urgent message that they wanted to film at a fan's house and to contact them ASAP. We Michigan fans were given short notice.
So, they hid her sold out show near Detroit. (She actually did another show in Dearborn which borders Detroit a month later...also sold out.)
But I felt bad for the fans who had Kathy at their house were they were said to have "begged" Kathy to come. Yeah, only after her webmaster begged
for someone to be able to let her show up.
Whatever.
Just kinda miffs me when the truth of the situations was funny and didn't
need to be "spun."
It's just as funny to say she sold out Carnegie Hall, then had to work a corporate event, then sold out a show in Detroit, then bombed at a chili cook-off in Jackson, MI.
And Michigan residents aren't "uptight."
You'd think Kathy would love us, we have a woman Democrat governor, and both US senators are Democrats, one's a woman. And we've been a "blue"
state in the last couple of elections.
I'll get off my soapbox now. ~ŠL

And about Kathy's dad
Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
I saw Kathy when she played the Detroit area in February a day before the Jackson, MI show (the one with the chili cook-off.) She was telling the same story about her parents and the Rosie Cruise and it was very funny. She said her parents would be on this season too. A few days later, her dad died. So it did happen during the filming of the next episode to air.

Come to the West side, Darclyte -- there are more uptight people here than you can shake a corncob at. :-) (Said as a person who is NOT uptight but deals w/ a VERY conservative district where almost all our novels are "censored" by the local vocal church.) Yes, she probably would have had a better crowd in Grand Rapids, but again -- it's a Republican, conservative town.

I am so out of the "arena" since I moved from CHicago...How would Kathy be accepted my newer neck of the woods? KCMO...(I love her, but then again, I secretly dislike 'most' of my neighbors..LOL)

I did think it was a little out of place to Kathy to do the MF shout out at the chili cook off. I mean her show yes ,but a publc appearance no

So whose doing her hair no the Matt's gone? I used to love it that he did her hair.

Teach
My high school girlfriend went to Kendall. I know ALL about West Michigan. Kathy would have sold well in GR because it's a fairly populous area and a number of colleges nearby would have helped her out. I mean, Benton Harbor? GR may be conservative, dutch, republican country, but a lot of freaks live/d there.

I lived in GR for a very long time -- and yup, the college gang would've helped out, but not the Calvin, Aquinas or Cornerstone college gangs! LOL If she really wanted to see her gays, she should've gone to Saugatuck, not Benton Harbor! :-) They've really revitalized the theater in Saugatuck, and I bet she would have been a huge hit(plus, I could've gone! LOL)

This is a reality show, not a documentary. Of course there is editing. The point of the episode was to show how hard she works to promote herself and the lengths she will go.

Did anybody ever see Tom Sizemore's reality show? To date, that is the only reality show I consider even close to be being real. Truly a case of reality being more shocking than fiction.

I don't mind if Kathy edits as long as she makes me laugh.

When Kathy was on Jimmy Kimmel last night I missed it because the show started 30 minutes late here, and she was on in the second 30 minutes. So tivo missed it :-(

Luckily, someone put it on youtube. I am still laughing at her Sanjaya encounter on the plane.

Part 1

Part 2
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3BnTIxlhlG4

and part 3 where she stayed to sit in on the interview for the kid who is a toaster expert. I has no idea there are hot fudge sundae pop tarts. Now I have to get some.

Best D List episode ever. Kathy's uh, "little man in the canoe" jokes. Kathy gorging herself at the little Dutch town. Kathy bombing at the corporate event. Kathy "auditioning" the handymen. Kathy getting beat up by the work out. Kathy molesting the gay guy. Kathy's "real life" colliding with her "reality" show, and how she and her family dealt with everything. Kathy getting right back on the horse and doing the gig after her father's memorial. This episode had everything. I have to give it to Kathy to have allowed Bravo to show everything instead of just burying it all and maybe commenting on it later. I was surprised Kathy made the comment about her Dad being in Heaven given that she's an atheist, but maybe that was to honor her Dad's belief? Anyway, I hadn't been looking forward to this episode and leave it to Kathy to have wrapped the terrible sadness within a lot of funny. RIP John Griffin.

After having recently lost my father, this was a very emotional show for me. I'm not sure who's editing or directing the show but this episode should be the one she puts up on the Emmy reel.

The handyman interviews were very funny.

I absolutely love this show. I also agree with both Lil and Darclyte that this is probably one of the best episodes. The tribute to her father was very moving and emotional.

I could not believe they let the clit stuff on air. It seemed a little racy. I do love this show though!
