Kathy Griffin Wants to Be an Emmy Awards Seat-FillerThough her 'Life on the D-List' show is up for an Emmy, Kathy Griffin doesn't have a ticket to the Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony. (Maybe the diss is due to her "Suck it, Jesus!" acceptance-speech comment in 2007?)

Regardless, Griffin has a plan. "I would like to be the first celebrity seat-filler for the Emmy Awards," she announced on 'Late Night' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on NBC).

Jimmy Fallon explained the $35 job: When an (invited) entertainer leaves their seat momentarily, the seat-filler helps maintain the look of a full house when the cameras pan the audience.

Griffin described what she'd be like as a seat-filler, mixing with the likes of Alec Baldwin and Kyra Sedgwick. She also offered sexual favors to the voting Academy members in order to ensure an Emmy win. Um, good luck?
