What character did Griffin portray in Pulp Fiction? If the character was unnamed, which scene?
On imdb.com (the Internet Movie Database) it says she played herself.
I removed this section of original anaylsis and hype -- including a laudatory quote from Kathy Griffin's mother -- as per Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Aside from constituing original research, it used wildly non-ency language ("sold-out shows"!) and was simply disallowed original research. and advocacy-- Tenebrae 00:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Has Kathy appeared on the Tonight Show previously? On her website, she does have a picture of her posing with Jay Leno on the set of the Tonight Show. BirdbrainedPhoenix 17:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
She claims to have been banned from the Tonight Show since that appearance. She has mentioned this in a number of promotional interviews of late. I know of no independent verification for this. - Jmh123 14:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
There was some quotes listed here - per the directions of the person who posted them, I moved them over to Wikiquote. NickBurns 14:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm not too sure that Kathy Griffin is the Kathy that the cited news article (which was a celebrity rumor site) meant. After all, the headline reads "Kathy Lee Griffin" and on Kathie Lee Gifford's article, it states that she is in the running for a seat on The View. It is also admitted by Kathy Griffin that she will probably never appear on The View again since a "showdown" with Barbara Walters. So, I don't know. It just doesn't seem to fit.
I added The View because various media outlets have said that kathy griffin is a front runner to replace rose on The View.
well i dont know how to source it. but just look online and youll see its all true.
Parking this here for the benefit of people with more time to cull info for the article:
-- Lawikitejana 09:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
While defensive types were quick to condemn the statement, others found it to be a clever skewering of those who thank God or Jesus for assisting them in trouncing opposition, making them money, and generally saying and doing things which are shallow and theologically infantile. If your particular theology can't stand up to jokes, you really need to do some reevaluation of your positions. This isn't remotely relevant to the article, of course, but the speech was quite funny. Censors, to say only a very little of Catholic censors, are apparently employed to murder free and relevant speech and do their little bit to make the world a little more bland. Also, as a final note, I say this as someone who is in the God biz, and still finds the statement hilarious. Good job, Kathy, I might even watch your show sometime.

Kst447 ( talk) 04:01, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Were someone talking about the event--assuming that they didn't happen to be an attorney--and made mention of the response the Catholic representative managed to elicit from the Emmy committee or whomever has the final say with regards to the Emmy broadcast's contents, they would not say, "Ms. Griffin's statements will not be aired here as an exercise of the broadcasting authority's right not to disseminate certain material." They would say: "What Ms. Griffin said has been censored." If nothing else, this is much more expedient. To excise material from a publication or broadcast due to its content and based on pressure from some individual or body is properly identified as censorship. If an editor cuts something from a book because it talks about something that editor feels is inappropriate, it is censored. This does not prevent the author from keeping the material and finding a different editor, but the act remains one of censorship. There are degrees of censorship. Within a particular sphere of public consumption, the statements of Ms. Griffin were censored. As a side note, don't tell me to be careful as if I used language unthinkingly. What I offered was not introduced into the article nor was it intended to be; it was simply meant to point out that there are religious persons who think Jesus can take care of himself, and wouldn't mind a good joke at his expense. Oh, and use italics for pete's sake. All caps is rather gauche. MerricMaker 15:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
I have attempted to document on Renee Zellweger's page a brief mention of her Fued with Kathy over her "alleged" use of the term "sweaty, puffy coke whore" after Zellweger refused to allow Kathy to present her an award at some Celeb show. I wanted to include that Renee sent Roses to stop the fued (fairly classy on Renee's part) The three or four fans (fanatics) that control her page remove the informations literial SECONDS after what they see as a negative post. Dozens of other celebs, writers, politicians etc have documentations of such fueds...Thoughts? Fanofdirtydancing 00:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

At the very bottom of the article page is a listing that she is at a certain latitude and longitude, saying, "Kathy Griffin is at...." Is that the location of her home (and, if so, is listing that cricket?) Or is it a piece of vandalism? 98.215.48.213 ( talk) 14:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
does anyone have a good way to add this information to the page?
There was a lot of talk about cosmic connections with deceased music legends at last week's AMFAR event, and not everyone was amused by it. A source who attended the event tells us that honoree Rosie O'Donnell was slightly annoyed and less than impressed by event chair Sharon Stone's at-the-podium musings about John Lennon. Stone recounted how she first heard the words to "Imagine" as a girl. Then, she continued, when she was 20 she felt John Lennon's "presence" and turned around to come face-to-face with him on the street. She then recited the last two lines of "Imagine" to the restless audience and proceeded with her speech, peppering it with quotes from the song. "Everyone thought it was really inappropriate. People were turning to each other with these bemused looks on their faces," says the source. Later in the ceremony, comedienne and event host Kathy Griffin poked fun at Stone, citing a chance encounter of her own: She felt Elvis's presence, turned around to see a glittery belt, recited lines from "Hound Dog," and proceeded to have sex with the King. O'Donnell's rep denies that Rosie was miffed by Stone's ramblings and tells us a good time was had by all.
comment added by sadchild ( talk) 11:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC) This was ALSO accounted for on her show. Apparently Rosie dared her / promised her donation money in exchange for the mocking. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.197.230.127 ( talk) 20:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

To whoever has put 1961 as her birth year, it is incorrect. On kathy's website www.kathygriffin.net on her personally written biography, she says she was born in Chicago in 1960. Also, on her True Hollywood Story interview they even said she was born in 1960. So to all who have been putting in 1961, please stop.

Why are the Emmy nominations and awards left out of this section? 98.196.146.113 ( talk) 22:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Hmmm...I was wondering whether to include in the "Emmy award speech controversy" section, that (according to Kathy herself , and I can reference this) her "suck-it jesus" speech was written by the writer from that kids tween show "Zoe 101". She herself has brought that up numerous times, and I think it deserves a mention in the article because it's a fact, and since we mentioned the speech itself, why not mention that? If I was a random encylopedia reader and stumbled across this I wold definitely appreciate knowing that. Any comments? ( Aimma ( talk) 09:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC))

In the intro of the article, should "gay rights activist" be added as one of her titles? I mean, she's done tons of work with gay organizations, and is an outspoken supporter of Gay rights including marriage. It's my opinion that it be added, but I wanted to see what other people think first. What do you recommend?

Since a lot of information about her comes from Kathy Griffin herself, primarily through her reality series, it seems odd that certain things are being tagged as "citation needed".

is it possible to add a section, similar to the filmography, regarding her stand up shows on bravo and HBO? Tlatseg ( talk) 04:06, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
When she mentioned that she was a militant atheist (on a biased website, not that they shouldn't be biased), I think the tone of it was rather smart-ass or an attempt to be funny. Hell if she was "militant" at all, wouldn't she be happy with the criticisms she recieved from the "Jesus comment?" It's not that I doubt she is an atheist (nor do I really care, I won't remove the statement for that reason), but the source has no other sources to back it up. Anyone care to find other sources where she mentions that she is in fact an atheist, from something a little less biased? 64.234.0.101 ( talk) 08:04, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Why did she go uncredited? 206.123.191.246 ( talk) 09:08, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I was the first person to come to this article and enter information about Kathy Griffin's brother Kenny. After listening to her 6 1/2 hour audio book reading of her recent biography "Officially Book Club Selection," in which Griffin discusses the history of her brother for a good 20 minutes, I felt that it was compelling and relevant information that seemed to have shaped a huge part of her life.
Almost immediately after I made my edit, someone deleted half of it as "unsourced garbage"; that person was an anonymous IP user. I didn't know this happened until today. The paragraph that was deleted came from the exact same biography as the first paragraph, so I'm not sure why someone would call it unsourced, yet not the first half.
As the part about Kenny stands, it is not factually accurate; the way it is phrased makes it sound like Griffin ended her relationship with her brother when she was in her teens and he inappropriately snuggled with her in bed. That's not correct.
I guess I am unsure as how to cite/reference Kathy's book as the source for this information, but if someone could tell me how, or could add the citation, it would be most appreciated. CouplandForever ( talk) 07:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Actually, that is not incorrect. I have her book, and in the book she herself says that he used to inappropriately climb into bed and snuggle with her. ( Aimma ( talk) 09:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC))
I just wanted to point out that the last sentence of this paragraph does not read well in my opinion. The addition of "in his mother's arms while waiting for an ambulance" is a little confusing to a reader not familiar with Kenny's life (and they must be many). I think it would be best either (a) to delete this portion of the sentence, and just state that Kenny died at his parents' home or (b) provide more information and explain why he died/needed an ambulance.

Ok @ FlightTime: let's have a discussion! I hope you'll agree that my contribution was in a neutral point of view (or at least as neutral as possible for an incident as controversial as this). I also think the incident satisfied notability criteria. To try to reduce our biases due to our feelings towards both Griffin and Trump, let's consider what has occurred, in abstact: an American has been fired from multiple jobs, following an interaction with the sitting President of the United States, due to that interaction. That seems like a pretty big deal. I therefore suspect the reason you take issuse with the edit is due to WP:RECENT, in which case, I'd like to argue my position that this is worthy of the lede. Firstly, I stripped out lots of the less relevant information, then I think won't matter as much going forward into the future. This includes: her rescindment from congressional speakers and also anything regarding Barron Trump or the (in my personal opinion) frivolous subsequent legal action of her. The consensus (see above), although somewhat meagre, was that a mention of the incident in the lead was worthy, if after the passage of some time, effects from the incident were still being felt. Well, it's been 6 weeks and CNN has not rehired her, nor have her previously cancelled tour date venues been restored. Due to all of the above reasoning, I feel the edit was worthy and should be reinstated. What do you think? Greg ( talk) 19:31, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Please change the current photograph of Ms. Griffin to Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg . I am a professional celebrity photographer and have over 30 images on Wikipedia, from Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Ted Nugent and many more. I have photographed Kathy on multiple occasions, and would like to change the image to a more suitable image that depicts this brilliant entertainer's character. The image I have uploaded was taken with Kathy's permission, and I spent some time before the performance with her. This is in no way attempting to berate, belittle, or vandalize her current image in any way whatsoever. The image I just uploaded is absolutely reflective of her character, both on and offstage. Her fans, and friends will absolutely agree that my proposed image is more appealing that the current one. The image I suggest is my own work, titled Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg, located here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kathy_Griffin_LGP.jpg#.7B.7Bint:filedesc.7D.7D Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

01:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Thank you for your attention to this proposed edit. While I was granted editor status under my old handle "nightshooter", in order that I could upload and edit images of rock stars, I let that lapse and began using "Lgphilpot". I have no idea how to get a consensus, and certainly do not want to even have the appearance of a disputed edit with an editor, I just thought the image would be a better fit. As a photographer, if an image doesn't portray a subject's personality, it is simply a 2 dimensional representation that may as well be a sketch. I know that Kathy is under some controversy of her own making, but if you change your mind, the image will be available, but I do not know how to get a consensus.

It is also admitted by Kathy Griffin that she will probably never appear on The View again since a "showdown" with Barbara Walters. So, I don't know. It just doesn't seem to fit.
I added The View because various media outlets have said that kathy griffin is a front runner to replace rose on The View.
well i dont know how to source it. but just look online and youll see its all true.

While defensive types were quick to condemn the statement, others found it to be a clever skewering of those who thank God or Jesus for assisting them in trouncing opposition, making them money, and generally saying and doing things which are shallow and theologically infantile. If your particular theology can't stand up to jokes, you really need to do some reevaluation of your positions. This isn't remotely relevant to the article, of course, but the speech was quite funny. Censors, to say only a very little of Catholic censors, are apparently employed to murder free and relevant speech and do their little bit to make the world a little more bland. Also, as a final note, I say this as someone who is in the God biz, and still finds the statement hilarious. Good job, Kathy, I might even watch your show sometime.

Were someone talking about the event--assuming that they didn't happen to be an attorney--and made mention of the response the Catholic representative managed to elicit from the Emmy committee or whomever has the final say with regards to the Emmy broadcast's contents, they would not say, "Ms. Griffin's statements will not be aired here as an exercise of the broadcasting authority's right not to disseminate certain material." They would say: "What Ms. Griffin said has been censored." If nothing else, this is much more expedient. To excise material from a publication or broadcast due to its content and based on pressure from some individual or body is properly identified as censorship. If an editor cuts something from a book because it talks about something that editor feels is inappropriate, it is censored. This does not prevent the author from keeping the material and finding a different editor, but the act remains one of censorship. There are degrees of censorship. Within a particular sphere of public consumption, the statements of Ms. Griffin were censored. As a side note, don't tell me to be careful as if I used language unthinkingly. What I offered was not introduced into the article nor was it intended to be; it was simply meant to point out that there are religious persons who think Jesus can take care of himself, and wouldn't mind a good joke at his expense. Oh, and use italics for pete's sake. All caps is rather gauche. MerricMaker 15:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

There was a lot of talk about cosmic connections with deceased music legends at last week's AMFAR event, and not everyone was amused by it. A source who attended the event tells us that honoree Rosie O'Donnell was slightly annoyed and less than impressed by event chair Sharon Stone's at-the-podium musings about John Lennon. Stone recounted how she first heard the words to "Imagine" as a girl. Then, she continued, when she was 20 she felt John Lennon's "presence" and turned around to come face-to-face with him on the street. She then recited the last two lines of "Imagine" to the restless audience and proceeded with her speech, peppering it with quotes from the song. "Everyone thought it was really inappropriate. People were turning to each other with these bemused looks on their faces," says the source. Later in the ceremony, comedienne and event host Kathy Griffin poked fun at Stone, citing a chance encounter of her own: She felt Elvis's presence, turned around to see a glittery belt, recited lines from "Hound Dog," and proceeded to have sex with the King. O'Donnell's rep denies that Rosie was miffed by Stone's ramblings and tells us a good time was had by all.

To whoever has put 1961 as her birth year, it is incorrect. On kathy's website www.kathygriffin.net on her personally written biography, she says she was born in Chicago in 1960. Also, on her True Hollywood Story interview they even said she was born in 1960. So to all who have been putting in 1961, please stop.

Hmmm...I was wondering whether to include in the "Emmy award speech controversy" section, that (according to Kathy herself , and I can reference this) her "suck-it jesus" speech was written by the writer from that kids tween show "Zoe 101". She herself has brought that up numerous times, and I think it deserves a mention in the article because it's a fact, and since we mentioned the speech itself, why not mention that?

When she mentioned that she was a militant atheist (on a biased website, not that they shouldn't be biased), I think the tone of it was rather smart-ass or an attempt to be funny. Hell if she was "militant" at all, wouldn't she be happy with the criticisms she recieved from the "Jesus comment?" It's not that I doubt she is an atheist (nor do I really care, I won't remove the statement for that reason), but the source has no other sources to back it up.

I was the first person to come to this article and enter information about Kathy Griffin's brother Kenny. After listening to her 6 1/2 hour audio book reading of her recent biography "Officially Book Club Selection," in which Griffin discusses the history of her brother for a good 20 minutes, I felt that it was compelling and relevant information that seemed to have shaped a huge part of her life.
Almost immediately after I made my edit, someone deleted half of it as "unsourced garbage"; that person was an anonymous IP user. I didn't know this happened until today. The paragraph that was deleted came from the exact same biography as the first paragraph, so I'm not sure why someone would call it unsourced, yet not the first half.
As the part about Kenny stands, it is not factually accurate; the way it is phrased makes it sound like Griffin ended her relationship with her brother when she was in her teens and he inappropriately snuggled with her in bed. That's not correct.
I guess I am unsure as how to cite/reference Kathy's book as the source for this information, but if someone could tell me how, or could add the citation, it would be most appreciated. CouplandForever ( talk) 07:33, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Actually, that is not incorrect. I have her book, and in the book she herself says that he used to inappropriately climb into bed and snuggle with her. ( Aimma ( talk) 09:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC))
I just wanted to point out that the last sentence of this paragraph does not read well in my opinion. The addition of "in his mother's arms while waiting for an ambulance" is a little confusing to a reader not familiar with Kenny's life (and they must be many). I think it would be best either (a) to delete this portion of the sentence, and just state that Kenny died at his parents' home or (b) provide more information and explain why he died/needed an ambulance.

Ok @ FlightTime: let's have a discussion! I hope you'll agree that my contribution was in a neutral point of view (or at least as neutral as possible for an incident as controversial as this). I also think the incident satisfied notability criteria. To try to reduce our biases due to our feelings towards both Griffin and Trump, let's consider what has occurred, in abstact: an American has been fired from multiple jobs, following an interaction with the sitting President of the United States, due to that interaction. That seems like a pretty big deal. I therefore suspect the reason you take issuse with the edit is due to WP:RECENT, in which case, I'd like to argue my position that this is worthy of the lede. Firstly, I stripped out lots of the less relevant information, then I think won't matter as much going forward into the future. This includes: her rescindment from congressional speakers and also anything regarding Barron Trump or the (in my personal opinion) frivolous subsequent legal action of her. The consensus (see above), although somewhat meagre, was that a mention of the incident in the lead was worthy, if after the passage of some time, effects from the incident were still being felt. Well, it's been 6 weeks and CNN has not rehired her, nor have her previously cancelled tour date venues been restored. Due to all of the above reasoning, I feel the edit was worthy and should be reinstated. What do you think? Greg ( talk) 19:31, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Please change the current photograph of Ms. Griffin to Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg . I am a professional celebrity photographer and have over 30 images on Wikipedia, from Willie Nelson, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Norah Jones, Ted Nugent and many more. I have photographed Kathy on multiple occasions, and would like to change the image to a more suitable image that depicts this brilliant entertainer's character. The image I have uploaded was taken with Kathy's permission, and I spent some time before the performance with her. This is in no way attempting to berate, belittle, or vandalize her current image in any way whatsoever. The image I just uploaded is absolutely reflective of her character, both on and offstage. Her fans, and friends will absolutely agree that my proposed image is more appealing that the current one. The image I suggest is my own work, titled Kathy Griffin LGP.jpg, located here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kathy_Griffin_LGP.jpg#.7B.7Bint:filedesc.7D.7D Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

01:08, 23 October 2017 (UTC)Thank you for your attention to this proposed edit. While I was granted editor status under my old handle "nightshooter", in order that I could upload and edit images of rock stars, I let that lapse and began using "Lgphilpot". I have no idea how to get a consensus, and certainly do not want to even have the appearance of a disputed edit with an editor, I just thought the image would be a better fit. As a photographer, if an image doesn't portray a subject's personality, it is simply a 2 dimensional representation that may as well be a sketch. I know that Kathy is under some controversy of her own making, but if you change your mind, the image will be available, but I do not know how to get a consensus.
