Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List

Bacchus ·
Did anyone watch the premiere of My life on the D-list? I have never liked Kathy and find her annoying at best - but for some strange reason I have seen every episode of her reality show. Maybe it is because she does as she says. She is a fame ***** and one of only a few in the entire world that readily admits that everything she does is for more fame, not matter what. Overall the episode was quite engaging with all sorts of A-Listers (including Anderson Cooper) and plenty of great lines from Kathy (as well as plenty of cringe worthy moments.) I love Woz (apple co-founder) and thought it was hilarious that he hacked her iPhone! They just don't seem like a "natural" couple.
Spoiler....and they don't last long as one although it looks like the season will not reveal that. I am guessing Kathy decided that looks were worth more to her then personality and money (even billions.)
Oh, and Nothing is worse then getting the snub by Michael Moore! Kathy totally is D-list! lol

Everyone in show business is rumored to be gay at one point or another.... I like "Andy" but also enjoy making fun of him. I read his "picture book" that I think was supposed to be an autobiography. He is no Edward R. Murrow - but he is entertaining and that seems to be what cable news is all about these days.

oh well i dont know... you know they say guys are just like parking spaces... all the good ones are taken and all the rest take it in the ***...errrr something like that right? (p.s. just to make myself clear, i find absolutely nothing wrong with anyone who likes to take it in the ***, gay or not)

Anderson Cooper is basically out of the closet, he just hasn't announced it. He's kind of like Neil Patrick Harris before that disgusting slob Perez Hilton forced him to come out to the media. NPH was out to everyone around him for years but simply never had announced it in the media so people classified him as "closeted". Anderson Cooper is the same way and has a younger boyfriend that he is photographed with all the time. Anyway, I love this show so much. Never fails to crack me up.

Interesting info about NPH, I didn't know that!! (That he was out in his personal life). I love him on "How I Met Your Mother". :D

I love it too (when I can catch it). With Kathy Griffin you either love her or you hate her, and I love her. P.S And I would totally love to be one of her assistants!! :D

hhaha her assistants must have a great time! i wonder how much assistants make...even for someone on "the d-list"

Not sure, but that job would rock!

Nope! Last night was awful. I'm not finding her as funny as she used to be. :(

Say it isn't so!!!
So Long, Farewell! Filed under: TV News > Exclusives! > Kathy Griffin Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Kathy Griffin's long-time assistant and My Life on the D-List co-star, Jessica Zajicek, has quit. And, "it's not pretty," an insider tells us. The split happened earlier this month. Unfortunately, her Bravo show is not currently under production, so we'll miss out on the drama on TV! "Jessica had just had enough of Kathy," says our insider. "She put up with her for several years. She couldn't take it anymore." Sad to see her go. Jessica was a huge part of Kathy's show!
Then again.....an opening on Team Griffin?!?!

In recent weeks I'd started to think that Jessica was the best part of the show.

Awww, that's a bummer! I liked her too! Does that mean that Tiffany is gone too since Tiffany was Jessica's personal assistant?

Did anyone else catch the season premiere this week of D-List? My late spring/summer is all about 3rd rate reality shows. I have to admit that I didn't miss Jessica in the least bit (actually, I didn't notice she was missing until I read about it) and thought that Kathy hanging with Bette made a good start to the season. Although there are parts I just can't bare to watch, this is still a show I like to watch to fill in the dead air during the "off season."

I actually really like Kathy but I have never seen a single episode of her show that I can recall...I am going to have to check it out.

She's sooo funny, Stacee! I've always enjoyed her series, but I haven't yet seen the first ep of the new season.
Queenoflove#24
The Kathy Griffin, Paula Deen epi was funny. After watching it I had to go youtube the switch clip. I loved it when Kathy hit herself not knowing what to do. "I wouldn't even hit Elizabeth Hasselback with a switch and I hate her."-Best line

New season feels less D-list, and more contrived. Still watching though.

Don Lemon and TJ Holmes are better than Anderson. Anderson should retire.

I ended up passing on the last three episodes. The premise was very contrived this year with the "Kathy hangs with celebrity tour" and I think the show was not the same because of it.

I missed Jessica:p

Also - Kathy really isn't that D-List anymore! Maybe when the show started, but now? Emmys and Grammy Noms later? Not so much. And yeah, I miss Jessica too.
saltvinegar#30
As long as Kathy is funny I will watch.

This show is getting old! I think it is about time for Bravo to pull the plug!
