I made a resolution to be a little less cynical this year. I am tired of being barraged by ads everywhere and I got my last bit of cynicism out as I cursed the ball dropping over a huge Toshiba ad and then quickly broke it as I saw everyone wearing blue top hats provided by Nivea. I think that’s a record even for me.
If comedian Kathy Griffin made a resolution to not say anything others would view as inappropriate on the air, she broke that one an hour into the new year. Griffin was being teased by a heckler in the crowd and dropped “I don’t go to your job and knock the dicks out of your mouth!!” Quickly cut away to commercial. It was a much more toned down vibe when they came back from break as they announced 3 Doors Down and both Anderson and Kathy looked like they may have been scolded. Kathy didn’t really speak much after that. I wonder if she’ll be asked back. Regardless, we were shocked and laughed our asses off. That’s what happens when you put the 2 time Emmy winning, razor tongued funny lady in a live situation! The whole reason we tuned in to CNN was to see what she would do this year and with that comment alone, she didn’t disappoint! Happy 2009!
Update: As pointed out by people in the comments section, she apparently made that comment to a crowdside heckler not Anderson Cooper which makes the comment even better. I somehow missed the heckler’s comments but her comment perked my ears! Thanks for pointing that out, I updated the post accordingly!
