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!"

For someone who dated Roy Cohn, she sure seems a bit self-righteous.

I LOVE Kathy Griffin...­soooo funny, so smart, her show just isn't long enough for me! As far as the view is concerned, Kathy is just too good for it. You don't need them Kath, but God, could they use YOU! Kathy, you ROCK! Rock ON! You are on my A+ list!

Time for Barbara to hang it up and spend more time shopping on 5th Avenue. Prada, Gucci, Babs they are there for your pickings. Take your lil doggie for walks. Time to relax Babs, you've earned it. Now don't go away mad, just go away.

Barbara Walters is a dried up humorless prima donna who obviously can't take joke backed up by a cast of entitiled half wits who are a collective embarrassment.

Kathy Griffin going up...

...Barbara Walters going down -as in stratight to irrelevancy.

This is so...... B.G. and B.W. Who in their right mind would ban Kathy? Now when Kathy talks about this in her act they will go crazy. They ask for it all the time. LOL You have to love it! Kathy you are far to good for The View! Heck if they want to continue giving her material I say good for Kathy!

Love her, love her, love her !

The View is horrible when Barbara Walthers is on it. The days she is there, nothing ever is discussed but old sex surveys...­.you can see the othere hosts cringe when Barbara is on, monopolizing the conversation. Do us all a favor...go­t to THE VIEW website and leave the viewmaster, Bill Gedde, a piece of your mind. That is the only way the View will "get it"
I feel sorry for Whoopi and Joy...noth­ing good is discussed, especially politics, when the old hag is there, comtrolling everything.

Dang, I like KG..she doesn't pull her punches. Her act about BW wasn't that bad at least not bad enough to have BW (who should take her daughters advice and learn to be less serious about herself) cancel her. However, the last time she was on the view you could see BW seething every time KG opened her mouth...sc­ared to death of what she might say...I always like the view better when BW isn't around...t­hey (the other co-hosts) tend to be a little more rowdy and willing to be a bit more edgy.

I love Kathy Griffin. Walters and Geddie come off like Gloria Swanson and William Holden. Tell them to suck it, Kathy.

I am sure Kathy is going to lose sleep for not been able to sit with all those dinosaurs at the View. Yep, most definitely.

If there is a God in Heaven, this show will get cancelled!
