Telling Kathy Griffin she looks prettier in person than on TV may get you a scolding.
“People constantly say that! And that’s a compliment how?” Griffin asked Newsday in Saturday’s editions. “It’s worse when you get, ’You look good in person!’ That’s what I get a lot. Or, ’Wow, you’re thin in person!’ As opposed to what? How fat and ugly I look on television? Or I’ll get ’You look soooo much better in person.”’
However she looks, Griffin is getting ready for the airing of her reality show, “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List,” now in its second season on Bravo.
The comedienne, who played opposite Brooke Shields on the sitcom “Suddenly Susan,” also appears in the upcoming “National Lampoon” movie, “The Last Guy on Earth.”
She sometimes seems a tad angry. Is she?
“I am angry all the time,” she said. “The only thing I can say that makes me different from a lot of other comics is that, like, I’m also pretty happy. A lot of comics sort of manufacture tragedy.”
