Kathy Griffin won’t be allowed back on CNN’s New Year’s Eve show after two consecutive years of profanity-laced jokes, AOL.com’s PopEater blog reported Tuesday, citing executives at the news network.A year after ringing in 2009 by trading barbs with a heckler on live television the comedian one-upped herself with a series of adult-themed jokes while standing next to straight-laced anchor Anderson Cooper.
“She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves 'The Most Trusted Name in News.' Even Anderson thinks it's time to say goodbye to Kathy,” a CNN insider told PopEater.
Makes me wonder if anyone at CNN bothered to watch one of Kathy Griffin's shows. Griffin isn't doing anything out of the ordinary (for her), so it pretty clear that if anyone should be embarrassed, its the morons at CNN.

I'll never understand why she has to use the f word in her routines. She can be funny - and I think she'd be even funnier if she didn't. Bill Cosby was hilarious, and he never used it.

..because that's who she is.
A comedy act is simply an extension of that comedian's personality, culture and perspectives. Kathy Griffin is an angry woman and so her act reflects that.
