Kathleen "Kathy" Griffin (born 4 November 1960, in Oak Park, Illinois) is an Emmy-winning American stand-up comedian and actress. She has also been a voice actor and a red carpet commentator. Griffin has proclaimed herself a "D-list celebrity", and is currently starring on her own reality television series "Kathy Griffin - My Life on the D-List" for which she won an Emmy in both 2007 and 2008. Much of her stand-up humour is derived from her embellished encounters with notable celebrities.

• [The 2007 Emmy Awards were] a little too Cirque de Seacrest. I shouldn't say that about Ryan, she's a very good hostess.

• Can you believe this shit? Hell has frozen over. Now, a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. He didn't help me a bit. If it was up to him, Cesar Millan would be up here with that damn dog. So all I can say is, suck it, Jesus! This award is my god now!
