Barbara Walters Bans Kathy Griffin From "The View" — Again

"I was supposed to be on 'The View' [today]," said Griffin, who performs her final sold-out stand-up show tonight at Madison Square Garden. "But then I get a call from [producer] Bill Geddie, and he says, 'You were too mean to Barbara [Walters] on your last special, so you can't come on.' Can you believe it? I've been banned before but never re-banned!"

I like Kathy Griffin. I am sure she considers it a badge of honor that Ms. Walters has banner her from this frivilous show.

I like Kathy Griffin. She's funny as hell as long as she stays away from the political stuff.

You KNOW Kathy loves this..I can't wait to hear all about it on her HBO specials...Yup..I got hooked..love her "reality" show and specials..Thanks BABA WAWA...perfect timing..
Wish I could be in NY to see her "concert".

Barbara, please retire!You should have quit at the top of your game.

Well, Babba WahWah--is pretty much past her time and relevancy---she was good when she was paired up with Hugh Downs on the old 20/20 show but look at what Hugh is doing now--infomercials for God's sake---sorta like the way David Brinkley soon became a shill for Archer Daniels Midland on his old show--ohh how the once mighty have fallen. Babs in the ringleader on a joke show----she hardly ever even does her celeb interview shows any longer where the highlight point is "she always get them to cry!!!"

Really, now... Barbara is too old to care about such jokes.

Babs will ban a talented comic but keep a moron who doesn't know the earth is round and another who's claim to fame is "Survivor". Way to go Babs, you keep impressing me everyday.

I would think that being banned by Barbara twice would rank right in there with those stupid medals that Bush likes to give out to everyone who has helped him screw America.

I wish I knew both Kathy Griffin & Rosie O'Donnell just so I could invite them over for a dinner party and hear a whole night's worth of awesome stories about their observations and experiences with Walters. And if Whoopi would come, I'd promise to keep everything she said off-the-record. You know she's gotta be keeping a daily log of some sort while she's got the gig.

The ringleader of The View circus needs to stop embarrassing herself. It's becoming so commonplace now.

Babas does it because she can. Maybe one day she'll only have paid street people left to come in who she can un-invite from her show. I think she should pack it in....she has nothing left to offer.

With all those accolades comming her way, I thought Ms Griffin would be put on the "A" list and thus, out of a gig. Good to know you've been banned back to the "D" list, Kid. Keep those Specials comming

[provgrays]

Griffin's whole career is whining in public about her encounters with other celebrities. What is she complaining about?

[A Meat Beetle]

Is that a mullet Barbara is sporting?

[Lisette]

Barbara Walters is a Stalinst
Yes, a book burning Stalinst.
She tries to act oh soooo polite,
But she is really a low down bitch.

[Hephaestion]

Kathy doesn't realize that Jesus came before the Ancient Greeks and Romans, so OF COURSE she had to be banned.
