I have a secret. I kind of like Kathy Griffin. Okay she may be as bold as her red hair, and vulgar as a man, but I think she is hilarious and as funny as the people she surrounds herself with.
Take for example, that time she was “dating” Woz aka Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. It made me interested in Apple and I work for them! Or how about her hilarious parents and crew. Her sweet mom always with a drink in her hand and her “how’d they get that job?” staff. You can’t write that stuff or can you? I can’t ever tell how much is staged and how much reality is in reality.
But the bottomline for me is that no matter how zany and off-kilter she can be, my main motivators to watch Griffin on Bravo’s “My Life on the D-List,” are her stubborn, unyielding, never get her down attitude. She may say crazy things and act like nothing bothers her, but when it comes to her passion (making the A-list) she wears her heart on her sleeve and I admire her for that.
It doesn’t matter if people don’t know who she is or her name, she actually makes a joke of it and then keeps going. And no matter her goal, whether getting an Emmy (which she’s gotten 2 so far) or a Grammy nomination (she’s gotten one), she’s clear and persistent. I’d say, “She’s got balls” in a big way.
Her show may be called, “My Life on the D-List” but I think Griffin’s got a secret too, with the popularity of the show her desperate attempts to clench attention and success has gotten her quite a few awards and nominations as well as rubbing elbows with celebs. One things for sure, you know who’s got the last laugh!
