Kathy Griffin Banned From CNN! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 01-05-2010, 09:28 AM

Following her very controversial F-bomb-dropping New Year's Eve hosting gig, CNN executives have decided Kathy Griffin will NOT be getting a 2011 invite. "She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves 'The Most Trusted Name in News.' Even Anderson (Cooper, her co-host) thinks it's time to say goodbye to Kathy," a CNN insider tells me.

Not only did the potty-mouthed redhead drop the F bomb on live TV, she also made not-so-funny jokes about needing a "bump" of cocaine and asked Cooper if he pleasured himself while looking in the mirror. As sexy as the Silver Fox is ... that's just too much, Kathy.

Even worse than the comedienne's desperate need to shock was the fact that the show was a ratings bomb, as it fell far behind the family-friendly 'Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve' on ABC.

Still, CNN publicist Shimrit Sheetrit tells me: "No decisions have been made yet regarding next year's show."

CNN, I find it hard to believe that you have not yet made a decision regarding someone who drops the F bombs live on your network!!!

Either way, it's nice to see Dick Clark on top like the classy fella he is.

Good

Zoneboy · 01-05-2010, 12:45 PM

She should be banned from all of tv not just CNN.

TripperFan · 01-05-2010, 12:47 PM

Now if they only could ban her from television and ALL media we'd be in great shape!!

I've had cases of bad gas that I found a lot funnier and interesting than Kathy Griffin.

catlover79 · 01-05-2010, 12:49 PM

I agree with Charles and Cathie. Get her away from ALL media and I'll be a happy girl!!

Pitooey · 01-05-2010, 08:49 PM

I never did like her.

Maybe this will also convince Anderson Cooper to stop trying to be the next Regis Philbin and go back to being a..oh, i don't know..a news reporter?

I'm with you guys. She should be banned from every network!!

According to the folks at TVsquad the news on the ban is false:

"Update: CNN says that reports that Griffin has been banned are false because no decision has been made on next year's show yet."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

...I certainly hope Kathy will return to appear on "LARRY KING LIVE" and HLN's "JOY BEHAR SHOW". Just because she's about to be persona non grata on New Year's Eve doesn't mean she can't control herself on those programs....I like her attitude. She's more honest than most talk show guests these days.

Yeah, and if I think an actual ban had taken place, CNN would have said something official. Addressing the issue by saying "no decisions have been made for next year yet" is quite vague.

CNN just haven't officially commented on anything yet. The cancellation is strictly "insider reports".
