00:00Evan, why are we gay screaming right now?
00:01Because Kathy Griffin is in the house.
00:03We can't believe it, Kathy.
00:05Good morning, gays.
00:06I am so relieved.
00:08Just not see some heterosexuals first thing in the morning.
00:10That is the last thing I need.
00:12Isn't that the worst?
00:13Oh, they don't know how to groom themselves.
00:16They don't know how to dress for the day.
00:17Oh, it's terrible.
00:18They can't even get the season right.
00:20No, they use three-in-one products for everything.
00:22Oh, they don't know.
00:23Oh, my goodness.
00:24But Kathy, we are so excited that you are here.
00:27Yes.
00:27I'm thrilled.
00:27I mean, is it a shock that we've been obsessed with you
00:29for our...
00:30Oh, I mean, this is a love fest.
00:32It really, really is.
00:33Because who doesn't read page six and listen to page...
00:34And everybody wants to know what's going on.
00:36Exactly.
00:36And when I'm in page six, it's scandalous.
00:39And I get calls from my cousins that haven't talked to me in ten years.
00:42Oh, my God.
00:43From people I went to grade school with.
00:44It's fantastic.
00:45Do you remember the first time you were written about in page six?
00:49Um, I don't.
00:50You don't?
00:51Okay, that's probably for the better.
00:52But I'm sure it was either, like, stars without makeup.
00:55Okay.
00:55Hold on, one of my fake lashes is coming off right now.
00:58She's wearing makeup now, then.
00:59I'm wearing so much makeup.
01:01I'm like four drag queens under here.
01:03And, um, I was probably like a stars without makeup.
01:07Or, knowing me, I said, oh, I just hit the microphone like it was a...
01:11Well, I won't say it.
01:13We all know.
01:14But it was a long night.
01:15And I was probably, you know, caught talking smack about some celebrity in my act.
01:21And I'm sure page six probably called the celebrity, and they were probably mad at me.
01:26And so I have a long history of that.
01:28Oh, I love it.
01:28The celeb still can't take a joke, you guys.
01:31Really?
01:31I feel they even can't take it even more now.
01:33I think it's worse.
01:34They're more sensitive.
01:35And then I run into them at parties, and they're mad at me and don't want to talk to me.
01:38Uh-oh.
01:38Yeah, it's still happening.
01:39You're like, imagine what they're saying behind your back.
01:41Oh, it's so much worse.
01:42Or, like, to let those celebrities know.
01:44It's like, at least you let them know how you feel.
01:45Of course.
01:46And also, look, I have stories in my new special, which is on YouTube for free.
01:51My life on the PTSD list.
01:52Yes.
01:53I love it.
01:53And putting it on for free was the smartest thing I ever did.
01:56Okay, why?
01:56Because people don't want to give their data and their credit card information anymore.
02:01And also, just click and play and enjoy it on me.
02:05And also, we're all broke now.
02:07Yeah, everybody's broke now.
02:07Credit card information is declining.
02:09Of course it is.
02:10And so just click for free and watch me tell my little stories.
02:13Oh, my God.
02:14It is such a gift.
02:14But there's some good celeb gossip in the new special.
02:17Have you ever used Page Sixo to your advantage?
02:19Have you ever called them to let?
02:20Oh, yeah.
02:20Oh, yeah?
02:21Of course.
02:21Okay.
02:22Tell us about that.
02:23I tell a story in my special about when I ran into a former, now disgraced executive,
02:30Leslie Moonves.
02:31Oh, okay.
02:31And I got into a little altercation with him at the polo lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
02:36That's us.
02:37Yeah.
02:37And so I, it somehow ended up in variety.
02:42Now, I know that's a competing publication, but I just, you know, how those things somehow
02:47end up there.
02:49Yeah.
02:50So if you're asking me if I have ever called Page Six, of course I have.
02:55I'm Kathy Griffin.
02:56I'm on the D-list securely where I belong.
02:59Speaking of the D-list, my life on the D-list, it's the 20-year anniversary this year.
03:03I can't believe it, boys.
03:04Which is so crazy.
03:05How?
03:06That show really-
03:07Feels like yesterday to me.
03:07It was so formative for us as gay, closeted teenagers.
03:10Oh.
03:10Like, you know what?
03:11Like, you really have such a special place in the heart of millennial gay men.
03:14I hope you know that.
03:15Oh.
03:15You know what I'm really proud of?
03:17I'm proud of how funny and real my parents were.
03:21And I say that because my parents were true allies of the community, but they never kind
03:26of came out and said it.
03:27And I like, I love that they were portrayed as they were on that show as being completely
03:33an ally of the community without necessarily talking about it.
03:37But I just think they were used to so many gay people being around me, even though they
03:42were so old.
03:43But they were always, you know, when I would say that they would go to happy hour at the
03:47gay bars only because they have better appetizers.
03:50That was real.
03:51Like, my parents knew all the gay bars.
03:54And my mom, after she was on the TV show, she was relentless.
03:58She never paid for a coffee again.
04:00At that gay Starbucks on Santa Monica Boulevard, she never paid for a coffee again the rest of
04:04her life.
04:05Oh, I love-
04:06Oh, I miss her.
04:07Because the boys would come in and because they knew my parents really were welcoming.
04:12And I knew- it's a huge compliment when someone says, I was closeted, but I watched
04:18that show with my mom or dad and something about the show.
04:21It felt like a safe space.
04:23Yeah, that's what I- It honestly really did, yeah.
04:24Because it was, it was your reality show, but of course, because it's following you,
04:27it was just so funny and just so like, you're just like watching every episode.
04:31It feels like relatable, but also it's like you're in Hollywood, so it's not relatable.
04:34You just tackled every moment, so what?
04:36No, I'm really proud of the show.
04:37I haven't watched it since it was on, except for the first episode, but I'm sure I was
04:42so inappropriate.
04:43Like, I can sort of remember a few things where I'm cringing, but you know, it was a
04:47different time.
04:48Yeah.
04:48And I love that people can rediscover it.
04:52Like I said, it's on Peacock.
04:53I don't get a dime, but watch it anyway.
04:55Binge it.
04:56It was only like eight or 10 episodes a season.
04:58It wasn't even that many episodes, but I'm very flattered to hear you say that.
05:03Thank you very much.
05:03And I want my live shows to be a safe space, and I know I shouldn't do this on page six
05:09and you're Murdoch owned, but I am genuinely worried about the safety of the community.
05:15I think that LGBT rights are going away with a stroke of a pen, and so I'm going on tour,
05:21specifically going to the real America.
05:24I mean, boy, some of these cities, I am looking for the blue dot in the sea of red, because
05:28I really believe we need to laugh, and we need to just have a safe space.
05:33And those communities need it more.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Well, there's community.
05:36Look, he's trying to bring back gay conversion therapy.
05:39Yeah.
05:39He's made that legal again.
05:41Kiss gay marriage goodbye.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Like, sorry, but I'm, I am.
05:44Should I just throw out my ring?
05:45Like, say, that was a fun ride, but now it's over.
05:49And so I want to go to those markets, as we call them in touring, and the tour is called
05:55New Face New Tour.
05:57Oh, I'm obsessed with you.
05:58I've had a little work done.
05:59It looks amazing.
06:01It really does look amazing.
06:02Your third facelift, how are we feeling?
06:04And how does the third one compare to the first two?
06:07Does it get easier?
06:08The recovery experience?
06:08It was the first cut the deepest.
06:09Because this time I went to Kris Jenner's guy.
06:14You went to Steven Levine?
06:15Bowed down.
06:16Oh my God.
06:17You got the 100.
06:17Hold on.
06:18Hold on.
06:18Hear me out.
06:19I'm on the D-list.
06:20I admit it.
06:21I went to Kris Jenner's last time.
06:24You're like, I went to her gardener.
06:26Who's consistent?
06:26Who's consistent with the D-list?
06:28Right here.
06:29I love it.
06:30I love it.
06:30But his name is, I got no discount, but I want to give him a shout out.
06:34Ben Talley.
06:35Okay.
06:35T-A-L-E-I.
06:38And he did Kris's last one.
06:41Although now I saw Kris recently at Paris Hilton's house.
06:44Oh, that was.
06:44And Kris now looks younger than Kim.
06:46Oh my God.
06:46So Kim is probably pissed at her mother.
06:48I think Kylie's getting nervous too.
06:49Kylie looks 70.
06:51I mean, she looks great for 70, but Kylie now looks 70.
06:54Kris looks 15, and Kim looks 16.
06:58Oh my God.
06:59Do you feel better after the third facelift?
07:01Are you glad you got it?
07:01I do.
07:02I'm so vain.
07:03I just, you know, because we Zoom now all day, and then I become upset.
07:07First of all, nobody cares what I look like.
07:09I'm a comedian.
07:09I tell jokes.
07:10But I can't help it.
07:11But you care.
07:12When you're a girl comic, all the comments are about how you look.
07:15It's all about how old I am.
07:16And haggard, and blah, blah, blah.
07:18And so, after a while, you know, you look in the mirror one too many times.
07:23And then my good friend, name drop, Sia.
07:26Oh, she got a facelift.
07:27Yes.
07:28She looks incredible.
07:29How hilarious is that, that she wears a backwards wig.
07:31I know, I know.
07:32And yet she got a facelift.
07:33I went to her tour, and I was like, can I see her?
07:35Can I see a Sia?
07:35No, you can't.
07:36No.
07:36But that's when she got a facelift.
07:38And she didn't need one, but she looks beautiful.
07:40And her before and after pictures are ridiculous.
07:43And so she, like, hooked me up with this guy.
07:46And I, it's pure vanity.
07:48I have no excuses.
07:50But I do kind of love it.
07:52Do you have any wish list therapy?
07:53I mean, wish list plastic surgery that you're like, oh my God, now let me just throw this
07:56in the mix.
07:57There's a part of me that I'm not, I'm thin, but there's a part of me that wants to lose
08:02the little bump that's my tummy.
08:04Now, I also have total dysmorphia.
08:06I admit, I totally have this.
08:07This is a safe space for that.
08:08Okay, good.
08:09We also suffer.
08:10Suffer your fellow sufferers up at 4 a.m. at the gym in the dark.
08:14I know.
08:15I saw you with your backpack today.
08:17And so that would be, once again, I don't really need it, but the vain part of me is,
08:23you know, enjoying it.
08:24I got three procedures this year.
08:26I got a lower bluff, a nose job, and veneers.
08:28And I'm like, what's next?
08:29What can we do next?
08:31Because you love them all, right?
08:32I love them all.
08:32See, we wouldn't keep doing it if we hated it.
08:34Yeah, exactly.
08:35It's fun.
08:36It's so fun.
08:36I don't know if you were the same, but I feel he loved the act of being the patient and
08:40signing the forms and being like, I'm going under.
08:43I love the consultations.
08:45Did you say a tearful goodbye to your friends?
08:47Like, if I do not survive this nose job, I love all of you.
08:53Well, I mean, not to make it dark, but I always think of Kanye West's mom.
08:56I know.
08:56Who died on the table, but I was like, worth it.
08:58And also, did your doctors also tell you, because you are a famous redhead, that your
09:03anesthesia, they said the anesthesia doesn't work as well on you.
09:05I didn't know this until this year.
09:07There's all this science behind gingers are more sensitive to pain, and gingers are weird
09:12with drugs, and we intake too much of one, but not enough of another.
09:17So, yeah, the anesthesiologists are always nervous when they see us coming.
09:21But we survived.
09:22We are the redheaded stepchildren.
09:24We've got to deal with that.
09:26I know, I know.
09:27We have to deal with who does the carpet match the drapes, or, like, since we were
09:30children.
09:31Literally.
09:31Like, I was, like, seven the first time someone said that to me.
09:34Wait, speaking of carpet matching the drapes, what do you think of Kim Kardashian's furry
09:37pubic hair thongs?
09:39She has a red version.
09:40You know, everything old is new again, and leave her to think about it, because remember
09:44she thought of the bra that had nipples, so it looks like you're not wearing a bra,
09:48but you are.
09:48So I would buy them as a set.
09:51I would buy the bush, and then I would buy the nipple bra, and I would put a little hair
09:55around the nipples up here.
09:56Ooh, that's probably her next move.
09:58That's right.
09:58If she's smart, and she is.
09:59She should collab with you.
10:00It's like the married for five years bra.
10:02You're like, what do you want me to do?
10:03Right, right.
10:03And you were saying that celebrities really can't take jokes anymore still.
10:07Is there a celeb lately that you've just been loving making fun of?
10:10Well, you know, all of them, first of all, but especially the ones who can't take a joke.
10:16And so, you know, this one gets me in a lot of trouble, but I can't help but make fun
10:19of Taylor Swift sometimes.
10:21She's the biggest star in the world.
10:23She's as beautiful as the Victoria's Secret model.
10:25She's one of the richest women in the world.
10:28In a comedy, that's called punching up.
10:29I'm Kathy Griffin.
10:31I'm 64.
10:32I'm on the D-list.
10:33I'm here getting three facelifts.
10:34And so, yes, I make fun of Taylor Swift, and I feel she does not have as much of a
10:41sense of humor about herself as I, as an old school comic, would like.
10:45For example, there was one award show where they did one of those cutaways, and I don't
10:50even remember which host it was, but Gomez goes in on Taylor, and they both just take
10:55a sip of their wine and roll their eyes at the joke.
10:58And being the comedian who has hosted many events like that, you don't need that.
11:04It's the hardest job.
11:05It's thankless.
11:06You're doing it for free.
11:07You're next to nothing.
11:08And I just wish these celebrities, when they cut away to them, would be laughing.
11:13Laughing.
11:14You're already winning in life, Taylor Swift.
11:16Do you think the whole Katy Perry beef is really over for good?
11:21Remember the swish swish fish?
11:23Do you think they really have made up, or is that like a photo op?
11:26I think Taylor saw Katy's tour sales and was like, I'll forgive her.
11:30Yeah.
11:30You know what I mean?
11:31Poor Katy.
11:31By the way, hold on.
11:32Okay, controversial take.
11:33Okay, let's go.
11:34I went to that tour.
11:35Oh, with the Lifetimes?
11:36It blew my mind.
11:38Okay.
11:38Now, she talks a lot, and I like her, because she's funny.
11:41She's an ex-Mormon, because you know the ex-Mormons.
11:43Once they leave the church, they're worse than you gays.
11:46There's nothing can shock them.
11:47They do everything.
11:48Yeah.
11:49And they've got to rebel every minute.
11:51Constantly rebel.
11:52So she's been rebelling.
11:53She survived Russell Brand.
11:55Right, right.
11:55Just for surviving Russell fucking Brand.
11:57We've got to support our girl.
11:58Do we love her with Trudeau?
12:01Love.
12:01Obsessed.
12:02Isn't it great?
12:02She played the long game.
12:04She did.
12:04That's what I like.
12:06She was like, next time, head of state.
12:07Yeah.
12:08And the hottest head of state.
12:10I know.
12:11Who's right upstairs.
12:12Yeah, you look up.
12:13So I'm hats off to her.
12:15I say, you know what?
12:16She was saying that night in the concert, I'm the most hated woman on the internet.
12:19And I thought, all the way to the bank, bitch.
12:21Yeah.
12:21All the way to the bank.
12:22And his arms.
12:23Right.
12:24She'll be the first lady of Canada.
12:26You're like, Katie, check out my life on the PTSD list.
12:28That could rival you.
