Kathy Griffin 'fired' from 'Hannah Montana'? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-30-2008, 10:41 AM

Comedian Kathy Griffin tells EW.com that her infamous declaration at last year's Creative Arts Emmys — "Suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now!" killed her appearance on the hit Miley Cyrus Disney Channel series, Hannah Montana. "I was fired from Hannah Montana for my 'suck it Jesus' remark," Griffin says. "Which I can tell you now that Miley Cyrus has been flashing her green bra and posing topless." Although it had never been reported that Griffin planned to appear on the squeaky-clean show, Griffin says it was in the works until her faux-outrageous acceptance speech. "I was basically told, 'Disney doesn't want you anywhere near the building,'" she says. (Disney says Griffin's Emmy speech had no bearing on its decision. "With all casting decisions, a 'pass' or 'accept' is ultimately a creative decision," a Disney channel spokeswoman said via email. "The 'pass' on Kathy Griffin in a particular guest role had nothing to do with comedy routines or public comments.")

Agreed.

Yeah, right.

Quit trying to use Miley's name to give yourself some publicity, you poor excuse for a piece of slime.

An appearance was "in the works". Translation: Tourette's-mouth-Griffin had her manager ask if she could appear on Hannah Montana, and Disney said NO.

Yeah, it's funny that she tells us this story the week Miley is going through this scandal and every news outlet is talking about her.

What a leech.
