Kathy Griffin Mocks Coulter on Today Show (transcript)

Steph Miller just talked about this:

Coming on long after Ann Coulter presumably left the Today show set Kathy Griffin couldn't resist taking a shot at the conservative author. Griffin cracked Al Roker up when she called Coulter a "nut-ball" and asked Al: "Doesn't she just make stuff up?"

Kathy Griffin: "I like to make fun of everybody. I think nobody is sacred, everybody can be ridiculous. And I love making fun of just all of celebrity culture."

Al Roker: "So you basically have gone after, you, you've made Steven Spielberg angry, now you're going after Oprah."

Griffin: "I go, although I'd like to go after Ann Coulter. I saw that nut-ball on the show earlier."

Roker: "Oh please. Okay."

Griffin: "What's she doing wearing a cocktail dress at 7am in the morning for? She got home from the party last night? Doesn't she just make stuff up Al?"

Roker giggling: "Kathy."

Griffin: "Who fact checks?"

Roker: "I, I don't know."

3. I saw one of her shows on Bravo last night. She is a RIOT, and she says

the truth..She holds nothing and no one sacred.

4. I like her too

her humor seems to be pretty self-deprecating, which is always funny...

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. i saw it yesterday morning and was in stitches and so damned happy

that if no one at the Today Show hadn't the nerve to call her what she really is, Kathy did!

5. kick

:rofl:

7. Hmmm. Obviously I need to change my opinion of

Ms. Griffin. I really didn't like her before. She just got on my nerves. But now, well, good for her.

[Yollam]

10. Eh, she's okay.

Her habit of referring to her gay fans and hangers-on as "my gays" seems rather patronizing, but I guess they take it as a term of endearment. She can be really funny, and really annoying depending on one's mood and the subject matter. Compared to Carlos Mencia, she's freaking Richard Pryor.

8. Is that why anthrax looked

so bad..cause she was out all night blowin' and snortin'?

[soleft]

9. tickets to her show tomorrow night in NYC are $225

I don't think she'd "D" list anymore.

[Yollam]

11. I wouldn't pay that to see Richard Pryor.

Hell, I wouldn't pay that to see the Beatles, complete with a reanimated John Lennon.

Ridiculous.

12. "Who fact checks?" I'd like to see that one catch on. Applies to the RW

every last one of them.
