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!

She was speaking to a heckler from down below. NOT AC

I’m pretty sure she was yelling that to the street-level hecklers she complained about earlier, not to Cooper.

I thought it was hilarious. I do hoped she’s asked back despite it. Not that it makes it any better to the bigwigs, but in her defense, she said that to a heckler, not to Anderson Cooper.

I’m pretty sure she and Anderson were being heckled by the crowd below, and one of the hecklers were who she was talking to. Considering the other revellers who got caught on camera I can understand her frustration.

Did you hear Kathy Griffith with her mic on while fighting with a passer byer?? Yeah, live on CNN-audio was running and she’s fighting with a passer byer and she says, “at least I have a job!” and then ” I should go by your job and knock the di@*s out of your mouth”, then she says “do you think they heard that?” because someone from CNN set must have told her that her microphone was on. They cut to commercial too late. Needless to say, we love Anderson but a fan or not of Kathy’s- her trash factor exudes!!!
