Kathleen Mary “Kathy” Griffin (born November 4, 1960) is an American actress, stand-up comedian, media personality, and LGBT rights advocate. A self-proclaimed “D-list celebrity”, Griffin first gained recognition for appearances on two episodes of Seinfeld, and then for her supporting role on the NBC sitcom Suddenly Susan. She is now the star of the Bravo reality show Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, for which she won two Emmy Awards as executive producer. She has also worked as a voice artist and red carpet commentator, in addition to several other career pursuits. In 2008 and 2009 she was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album.
On June 10, 2008, Griffin released a comedy CD titled For Your Consideration. It is Griffin’s first audio-only release of her stand-up material. The disc was recorded at the ETK Theatre at the Grand Theatre Center For The Arts in Tracy, California on February 17, 2008. Included on the disc are her takes on various celebrities and her personal life. Griffin stated that she decided to release this CD to try to win a Grammy award. On December 3, 2008, Griffin was nominated for a Grammy for Best Comedy Album. However, she lost to George Carlin’s It’s Bad for Ya. On August 25, 2009, Griffin released a second comedy album, Suckin’ It for the Holidays, in another bid for a Grammy. The album was initially released as a digital download and will retail release on November 3, 2009. Despite the album’s holiday title, it contains little holiday-related content, and it just barely made the nominations cut-off. On December 2, 2009 it was nominated for Best Comedy Album, making it Kathy’s second Grammy nomination.
