What You Missed Last Night: Kathy Griffin swears (again) on CNN

by Bob Sassone, posted Jan 1st 2010 1:00PM
This was probably expected, but last night Kathy Griffin said the F-word while co-hosting New Year's Eve coverage on CNN with Anderson Cooper. Here's the video. I guess you can't have a time delay in a show that has a live countdown to New Year's Eve.

I agree; the broadcast was live, way past most kiddies' bedtime and so what - it isn't like that antiquated no-no's you can't say on TV policy is going to make any iteration of the F-word vanish. To me, Anderson Cooper's Cher impression was the highlight. Anyway, you hire Kathy Griffin, you know who you're getting. I'm a fan, but I hope for her sake that Thursday night's pairing is CNN's last attempt at making Anderson Cooper seem loose or "with it". He's holding Kathy Griffin back

Shrug. Why do people freak out about words on TV? Really. It's cable tv. They choose to follow the archaic rules of network tv.

Regardless of what she did say or didn't say, it was clearly one of the funniest two hours of TV I've seen in all of 2009. CNN would be crazy not to have her back again.

That's sad. As one who watches CNN for comedic relief I can see why you'd get some chuckles from it but mostly it's humor is unintentional. Like the whole "center" news campaign, thats comedic gold. But Kathy Griffin?? If her skin was pulled any tighter that stick up her arse would pop out of her nose. Besides could you blame anyone for cursing when they have to work with a flaming mental half-wit like Cooper?

I think in 2010 the most publicity Kathy Griffin will get will be the same reason as 2009.

I don't find her funny often, but I like her. She's cool

I'm pretty sure she told Craig Ferguson that she was going to swear on air again even though they made her sign a contract that she wouldn't get paid if she swore on air.
