Kathy Griffin: Profile

Chicago native, Kathy Griffin, is a multi-faceted performer who is probably best known for her four-year stint on the NBC sitcom “Suddenly Susan” as Vickie Groener, Brooke Shields’ acerbic colleague. 

After moving west and joining the famed Los Angeles Groundlings comedy improvisational troupe, Kathy Griffin began building her resume with guest starring roles on such series as “Mad About You,” “ER,” and also appeared as the recurring character Sally Weaver, on “Seinfeld.”

After her various TV guest spots, Kathy began gaining notice as a stand-up comedian and landed her own “HBO Half Hour Comedy Special.” In 1998, HBO gave Griffin her own One-Hour Special, “A Hot Cup of Talk.”

Griffin has supplied voices for characters on the animated series “Dilbert” and “The Simpsons,” and she appeared in a dual role on the “X-Files” as well as in Eminem’s video, “The Real Slim Shady”, co-directed by Dr. Dre.

Kathy co-hosted The Billboard Music Awards three years in a row; appeared on numerous talk shows including “Late Night with David Letterman,” and “Live with Regis and Kelly” and has been featured in the films “It’s Pat,” “Four Rooms,” “Muppets From Space,” and in the animated feature, “Lion of Oz” among others.

Kathy has a great passion for reality TV. She participated in and won “Celebrity Mole” on ABC, hosted the NBC reality series “Average Joe” and hosted the MTV series, “Kathy’s So-Called Reality”.

Kathy’s stand up comedy special called “The D-List” has just finished its run on Bravo and she just recently taped another special for Bravo at the Orpheum Theatre on March 19th titled, “Kathy Griffin Is Not Nicole Kidman.” In addition, Kathy released her hilarious comedy stand-up on DVD, “Allegedly,” which is in stores now and she is currently in production on her new reality show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List,” that will air on Bravo in late 2005.
