subject: Kathy Griffin Tickets - Kathy Griffin Receives Second Consecutive Grammy Nomination [print this page] The term "holiday album" can only be loosely applied to Kathy Griffin's Suckin' It for the Holidays, because although the fiery, flame-haired comic sports a version of a Santa outfit on the cover of her album, the only time Griffin references the holidays is when she pokes fun at the Kwanzaa celebration!
Misnomer withstanding, Griffin received her second consecutive nomination in the Best Comedy Album category at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards for Suckin' It for the Holidays. Last year, Griffin's album For Your Consideration lost to George Carlin's It's Bad for Ya in the same category. If she wins this time around, the My Life on the D-List star just may be promoted to the A-list!
Shout! Factory will also be releasing Kathy Griffin: She'll Cut a Bitch on DVD on Jan. 12. The show, Griffin's sixth original comedy special for Bravo, first aired on Bravo on April 15, 2009 and was filmed at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Ore. in front of a sold-out crowd. During the special, Griffin spearheaded celebs like Cher in her signature no-holds-barred comedy style. The popular comedian is also set to appear on a special episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing a lesbian activist, on Feb. 10.
While she is still on the hunt for a Grammy, Kathy Griffin does have a pair of Emmys at home in her trophy case, thanks to her Bravo reality show My Life on the D-List. Griffin got her start on the small screen when she played Brooke Shields' sidekick on the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan. The former member of the famed Los Angeles comedy improv troupe the Groundlings subsequently scored HBO and Comedy Central specials and was approached by Bravo to have her very own reality show in 2005.
Since first being added to the lineup on the network, My Life on the D-List has made Kathy Griffin a household name. While appearing on The Jay Leno Show recently, Griffin revealed that she will begin shooting 10 new episodes for Season 6 of the guilty pleasure around the first of the year. Before that, Kathy Griffin will be appearing on a network other than Bravo on New Year's Eve, as the Chicago native is set to ring in 2010 with Anderson Cooper on CNN. They unlikely pair have celebrated New Year's Eve on the network for the past two years, last year braving the cold with a performance by the Jonas Brothers.
Those who want to see Kathy Griffin in the flesh can see her on tour, as she will be hitting the road hard in 2010. Starting with a Jan. 16 date at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Griffin will embark on a tour that will see her stopping in Albuquerque, N.M.; Washington, D.C.; Seattle, Wash.; Rochester and New York, N.Y.; Palm Desert and Costa Mesa, Calif. and Dallas, Texas. Fans of the outspoken comedian can get their Kathy Griffin tickets online. Griffin is one of the hottest comedians on tour so tickets will be going fast!
