The Emmy-Nominated Comedy Special on DVD
Two-time Emmy Award-winning and self-proclaimed D-Lister Kathy Griffin's latest comedy special takes you backstage in Hollywood: from the Emmys to the Grammys and even to the Malibu mansion of Cher! Appearing before a sold out crowd at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon, Griffin is in top form dishing about scandalous misbehaving celebrities and her uproarious escapades in Tinsel Town.
Star of the hit TV show My Life On The D-List, Griffin's sharp, revealing narratives have become legendary, and her latest special She ll Cut A Bitch is no exception.
Bonus Features
* Never-Before-Seen Bonus Bits: Unaired Stand-up From The Special
Kathy Griffin was made for these times. In our celebrity-obsessed, Page Six, TMZ, reality show culture, she is our Dante, dishing and dissing celebrities, the famous and infamous. "Here's the dirt," she promises at the beginning of this Emmy-nominated standup special, and the diva of the D-list delivers. Cher, with whom Griffin spends an unforgettable birthday at her Malibu mansion, comes off grandly, as do Rosie O'Donnell, Betty White, Don Rickles, and Tracy Morgan. Not so much the Jonas brothers, or perhaps the unsuspecting James Gandolfini. For a special recorded in 2009, Griffin's material holds up well. Chatty Kathy's accounts of her experiences at the Grammys and the Emmys, like Cher, never get old. The special is presented unbleeped, which is a bonus, as are about 12 minutes of unaired bits. The best concerns a text from Sarah Silverman, whom Griffin had thanked for mentioning her in a Playboy article about women comedians, which, typically, snubbed Griffin. --Donald Liebenson
