Kathy Griffin on CNN: "Knock the ** out of your Mouth"
By Heather Friday Jan 02, 2009 10:00amFrom SwimmingPolarBear. Looks like CNN may have to put Kathy Griffin on time delay from now on. Was it just me or did anyone else think that both she and Anderson Cooper looked like they might have been hitting the sauce a little bit during their New Years broadcast??

I've often wondered about whether a New Years broadcast is on "time delay".
Apparently not. :)
Nevermind that. What about the three times they repeated it without editing? I saw it at least twice on the west coast. At least MSNBC managed to edit out Scarborough's "screaming fkuc you at the top of their lungs" comment in the repeats. I guess CNN must have sent their whole editing staff home for the weekend!
That wasn't the funniest part of the broadcast, though. The fact that Anderson Cooper appeard to be drunk as a skunk, and was slurring his words worse than a bad impersonation of Bill Cosby was pretty funny. And then when Griffin tried to pants him, and later stole his mittens, so that he had to keep his hands in his pockets for the rest of the night. I think that was probably one of the best NYE broadcasts I've ever seen, from a humorial perspective.
More adolescent behavior from the infotainment world. A real ratings grabber.
We turned it to NY1 when we heard Kathy Griffin start with her, "I just want to look at you, Anderson," shtick.
Boooooooooring.
...is slang for microphone?
They were going to commercial, she was being heckled. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM A COMEDIAN? So what! She didn't drop an F-bomb. And if she did, So what!
Oh, she's a comedian! Thanks for the insight, I would not have known otherwise.
Does the name Michael Richards mean anything to you? If not, there's your answer. :)
The "Most Trusted Cable News Channel" hired Kathy Griffin BECAUSE they wanted her to say something stupid. Facts? News? Important information?
Nope. It's all about RATINGS.
For New Year's 2009 on CNN, join your hosts Amy Winehouse, Charles Barkley and Christopher Hitchens...
...hysterically.
Don't fuck with Hitchens.
I know I know I know he has chemical issues and he likes killing people, but he is Gore Vidal's anointed successor. That means don't fuck with him.
He is a pompous ignorant drunk...
He is not in the same league as Gore Vidal, he is not even in the same fucking sport.
I agree. Vidal is an historian of merit and couches his arguments in a broader conceptual framework. Hitchens, although often on-the-mark, is a street fighter and a drunk. Cerebral, he ain't.
Then they could have AT LEAST had the decency to get Janet Jackson and encourage her to have another wardrobe malfunction. I mean, even CBS know THAT much. $500 000 in FCC "fines" in exchange for $50 000 000 in free publicity? THOSE guys know how to run an infotainment business!
"...both she and Anderson Cooper looked like they might have been hitting the sauce..."
My doctor told me to have eight cups a day:

"I dont come to your job and knock the dicks out of yer mouth!"
...or did a group of prostitutes from 42nd street drop by to heckle her?
I hope Anderson wasn't offended...He would never have a dick in his mouth (on the job) ...would he?
She's calling Cooper a whore? Maybe?
She's talking to a spectator. Just a run-of-the-mill stand-up's retort to a heckler.
She was so drunk she was channeling Judy Tenuta's voice. By the way, that "stock" heckler comeback was originally Richard Belzer MCing at Catch a Rising Star NYC circa 1977. Credit where credit is due. Most standard heckler responses are from Belzer's earlier work and weren't hack till hacks got ahold of them. In Belzer's hands they were relevant and cutting edge comedy for the era.
wasted at SVU these days.
...some of your 'buddies' whether Cooper shares the same 'tastes' as you.
Jerkwad.
...what's with the gay bashing on this, allegedly, progressive site? Seems someone's not the only "jerkwad".
Quite the opposite, if you ask me. Anyone doubting Anderson's closet should watch this:

Hi Bill, what's happening. Um..yeah..I'm gonna have to just go ahead and ask you to pull the pineapple out of your ass and relax. mmkay?
That she had Cooper's dick into her mouth???
but she did seem to fawn over Anderson didnt she?
...Anderson is way too good for her!
Cooper is gloria Vanderbilt's son I believe...
he is practically almost royalty...his mommy would never approve!
Especially since he likes men.
/don't diss Kathy.
//sorry I missed it.
Get over it. You heckle a comedian, you're going to get a verbal beat down. You put Kathy Griffin live on the air and you're going to get cursing and inappropriateness. That's her schtick. It's TV. CNN needs ratings. This post has nothing to do with anything.
She won me over when she chucked something (I think a napkin) at the Jonas Brothers and yelled "You're a fraud!" THAT'S my kind of humor. A majority of Americans have a few drinks(!) on this night, and they let loose a little. The juxtapose of Cooper and Griffin was great. It was a NYE party, not a newscast.
The dick line was really, really, funny...and really, really, mean. Kudos.
Knock the Cheney out of your mouth.
witty and sophisticated. Her and Carrot Top.
That she was going to cause Anderson to lose his job, and here she is, doing her best. Good job, Kathy - you're awesome!
What? New Year's at Times Square is NOT a news show, you know
eta: they were seriously crocked...
griffin was funny.
I'm still giggling. (When I first say the title I totally filled in the blank wrong.)
in NYC watching some dumb ball drop.
Listening to Zappa on that night was a lot more interesting, and that was pretty dull.
I was awake till a little after midnight, reading an encyclopedia of werewolves by candlelight, drinking burgundy from a human skull shaped goblet.
I was sitting in the top window of a lovely townhouse in Auckland, in my underwear, enjoying the summer heat and watching the fantastic firework display going off on the Sky Tower in the not too far distance, toasted the cats with a nice glass of S. blanc when it was over, and went to bed sober. Woke up without a hangover and had a swim in the pool before breakfast.
Beats listening to FOX-loxes trying to out-crude each other any day.
It's more fun to watch them report live from a hurricane, wondering which boss they pissed off.
sans roofing shingle planted in the temple, the next day...
Now that is hysterical.
Ms. Warmth was picking up on Rickles' shtick.
CNN's wasting no time in burning thru the left leaning air-curse envelope with her.
there's reason #3,926 (and counting) why I choose not to have cable or satellite TV in my home. Why should my monthly fees even remotely go towards these pukes' paychecks?
Cable free since July of '08 and loving it! Thanks C&L!
Was it just me or did anyone else think that both she and Anderson Cooper looked like they might have been hitting the sauce a little bit during their New Years broadcast??
Both of them sounded a little "thick tongued" but I was thinking it may have been due to extreme cold. When my face gets very cold, it's difficult for me to ar-tic-u-late.
She wasn't with Dick Clark.
That every asshole on earth thinks they are the only one who has a job?
when this woman was funny? She's a walking sight-gag and a trash heap.
...you're entitled to your own opinion.
I think she's hysterical and love it when she takes down celebrities. To each their own...
me, too. I always have a laugh when's she's on Larry King.
The worst part of all this is that Kathy Griffin's remark, and CNN's gaffe in not turning off the microphone fast enough is probably going to dominate the CNN 24 hour news cycle for the next three days, unless they can find something else to talk about. I can already see Larry King interviewing her for an hour about it, and then following it with an hour long panel discussion about whether time delays should be mandated by law. Then Anderson Cooper will run a montage of all the off-mic remarks that have made headlines over the years.
For goodness sake, Obama, make another cabinet appointment before it's too late! It doesn't matter how small and unimportant it is. Dennis Kucinich needs a job...make him Secretary of Interplanetary Relations!
I LOOOOVE it when chicks talk dirty.
Of course I thought at first this thread was about Kathy Lee Gifford.
I had the computer open and set to www.time.gov. That clock showed that CNN was 7 seconds behind. So maybe the bluenoses were not in charge that night; it would also explain why they repeated it without editing. It's not her line originally, but it was judiciously used. Oh, and AC saying to KG, "Oh, but honey. . ." probably answered a LOT of questions (or maybe just one).
She forgot to say Zionist cock.
What I am worried about is your censoring yourself. Why do you put asterisks in your headline, as *D**ks*? Who is censoring YOU?
Her entire family is a pack of alcoholics, so she doesn't drink. She's like that naturally, which is why I love her so much.
This actually looked like a fun broadcast! If Cooper (and Kathy, of course) were this loose the whole time, then I am sorry I missed it. Good for them! Let's all loosen the hell up!
Edit:
Ah! And yes, as another poster said, after a second listen she is clearly yelling at a heckler.
