I think Kathy is funny in the right venue. I don't think CNN is probably the right venue for her - she has absolutely NO filter.

We're going to make this a New Year's Eve you'll never forget! Who wants to hold the remote?"

Put her on Comedy Central where that type of talk is more appropriate.
CNN is not the venue for that. Or maybe that's what CNN is turning into now.

Right, because there is never a TV on during any of that stuff and kids don't watch the ball drop in time square.

If you've watched Jersey Shore more than once, you'd know that Snooki can be summed-up completely by two of her body parts, her vagina and her liver.

I happen to think Kathy Griffin is hilarious, but it's not as if anyone who is familiar with her style of comedy would find such a comment surprising.

I think there may have been a TV on at the party we attended, but then my children won't get too verklempt if they hear the word vagina.

I had never heard of her before I watched last night. We were tuned in because the local affiliates tape delay the festivities for our time zone and we wanted to see it live. She seemed on odd paring with AC and I agree she was vulgar at times. On the other hand, I got a few chuckles out of her as well. AC alone would have put most to sleep long before the ball dropped.

Did anyone else find that disgusting at such a time? I'm a huge fan of crude humor but there's seriously a time and place for everything.

EDIT: I was looking for it and found this happened moments before:


ANDERSON COOPER SWEARS ON LIVE TV -- Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper New Years Eve 2012-2013 - YouTube


Kathy Griffin Strips Live On CNN New Years Celebration & Flirts With Cooper & Gergen... - YouTube

Nevermind. I guess this is normal behavior for CNN.
Seems like typical News from them

I've partied enough years, and woken up with a killer headache and list of people I need to apologize to that I no longer need or want to go out for NYE fun. It's great to get up feeling refreshed on the first day of the New Year.
