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!"

Gee hope Kathy doesn't lose too much sleep about being banned from the "View" by it's head hag, Baa Baa Walters. That show has been such a joke for years (Rosie at least made it fun to watch) but unfortunately it has made millions for Baa Baa.

Really? God but how Walters has seemed to turn into an elitist socialite cow! When are the snots in social society finally going to get it??? They no longer make the rules! I love Kathy Griffin, and I'm sure she is beside herself with extreme joy in this story! It will make for more great comedy in her next stand-up special!

Go Kathy!

:)

Kathy is funny occassionally, but what a useless distraction. Who cares about either of them.

[alltwisty]

I can't wait to hear all about it in Kathy's next special!!

[Bulbul]

That is funny !

[avicenna]

Did her manager also say that her mental issues are treatable?

Go Kathy Go!

Baba Wawa is irrelevant

[deedrdo]

i've seen KG's live concerts on two occasions as well as the TV stuff.

of all the dirt she dishes she's very complimentary and flattering of baba wawa...not­hing that hasn't already been said. BW should be thankful that people are still talking about her.

i'm just waiting for her and marie osmond to cross paths. MEOW!

Is there anyone more irrelevent than that blotchy, wrinkled, old geezer Barbara?? Kathy Griffin rules!!

[Steamboater]

Too mean? Kathy was honest. She had said that Walters never looked at her when she was on the show before and it was true. Walters is a phoney old crank.

SUCK IT BABWA!

How come these shows give Don Rickles, an over, over the hill "comic" airtime when his act, which has not changed in 50 years and only consists of one stupid insult after another, all the airtime and ass kissing and Kathy is banned from the View because she does not "respect" Barbara? What idiot makes these decisions? Kathy is funny and bright and topical. I laugh with Kathy and blanch at Rickles. No comparison.

Kathy Griffin is a NON-TALENT.
Nada, non, nix, none.

She can't even deliver a simple JOKE correctly.­..

Hence, she should not be on a professionally produced show.

She's right up there with CARROT TOP.

I would suggest a training session with the Pickle Family Circus, if she still wants to pretend like people actually like her.

Bill Geddie should grow some balls. The new view
would be Kathy Griffin, Wanda Sykes, Paula Poundstone, Caroline Rhea and Linda Ellerbee from Nickelodeon kids news.

When Saturday night live stank back in the 1980s and NBC fired everyone. Gail Mathias, Denny Dillon and Charles Rocket were fired.

Piscopo and Murphy were the only cast members to survive the axe, after new producer Dick Ebersol took over.

Barbara Walters is a has been who does not have that power anymore. It is like a has been boxer who has gone to work as a professional wrestler and still wants the same respect as those in a real sport.

This only hurts her show and if Barbara loses this she will be doing supermarket openings.
She already screwed up and lost Rosie.

Kathy Griffin can tell Jesus to suck it, as a joke, she should be able to kidd Barbara Walters. Barbara can't walk on water.
