Kathy Griffin

Not too shabby on the book, Kath. Do you mind if I call you that? No? Great.

Here's my favorite part: It sounded like you. As in, you were narrating a book on tape just for me. Well done. I could have done without...well...pretty much all of it that wasn't the backstage world of a comedienne. I understand your brother did some really fucked up things, but I gotta tell a, I turn to you for pee-my-pants laughs. And that part, along with the exchange between you and Woz, really brought me down.

Here's a comprehensive list of things I loved:

1) The parts where you were hilarious and failing and relentless all at the same time.
2) Your moms particular breed of crazy.
3) That banter you've got going with Oprah.
4) How damn crazy the Groundlings were/are. What's a girl gotta do to get in?
5) The stuff about your husband, while not particularly funny, was ok with me because...not sure why. Maybe I am some kind of secret man hater.

Final vote: Better than the housewives books, but not quite Chelsea Handler. Get more raunchy next time?
