Kathy Griffin first stand up special. part one

[brwneyeguy2010]

wow she was super pretty why did she have the plastic surgery

[photoman2004]

She's just like her character in seinfeld LOL

[tylertyler82]

WHy are these only 6 minutes long?

[Elphiesgreenfriend]

She talking so fast XD

[FutureTrophyWife96]

Her gays would nor be happy with that outfit :)

[jbrisby]

Yeah, it's pretty retarded to aim a video camera at a tv screen and then say "Watch in HD!" Learn to transfer.

[anbr90]

she's really cute here :)

[tandavaval]

Oh wow- I LOVE this-thanks for the upload!

[justjack411]

THANKS for posting this... I remember well when this came out and had never laughed so hard!!!

[ArchivesMLS]

kathy griffin's claim-to-fame:

1) she looks exactly like katey sagal (and they even have similar first names!),

2) she even has the same last name as merv,

3) always ends a sentence in, like, an upward inflection and stuff (?) or a trailed-off ellipse (,,,)

Another cursing comedian with a limited vocabulary that only talks about one subject.

[Tara23721]

Vintage Kathy. Love it.

[ivysensei]

Jerry and I are on a fight except he doesn't know it. LOL!!!

[ivysensei]

She's talking fast because she's nervous. But she's a pro now with all her confidence and greatness as a stand-up comedienne. I love her!

[IsCoolSilke]

I think she looked beautiful...

[loverlyrachy]

She talks... SO FAST

[KittydorkX3]

Interesting fashion chioce.......XD

[EteoKliz]

What year is that?

[iHeartMADtv]

@EteoKliz read the description. :)

[davidlynn77]

Wow she IS really beautiful in this. She looks so much better without the "dental work". Why did she feel she needed it?

[Warcheiftin]

she's a total bitch i love her lol

[TDog14126]

should I assume this special is why she came back in an episode where she had a Jerry-bashing show?

[iHeartMADtv]

@TDog14126 Yes, that is a correct assumption. :)

[TDog14126]

and the special where she proclaims her love for the gays, lol

[TDog14126]

now THIS is the kathy i grew up with...

[TheaterBound31]

Wow, she looks sooo different without the "Dental work" :P

[iHeartMADtv]

@TheaterBound31 She is in her thirties here, and she had her first nose job when she was in her twenties. So, this was after she had already had "dental work"

[StreisandLove]

I thought Hot Cup 'O Talk was her first stand up .

[iHeartMADtv]

@StreisandLove Nope, Hot Cup 'O Talk came after.

[oobah2]

OMFGshetalkssofuckingfast

[Whitemilkenator]

Boop boop boop boop Fever! Lol!

[ammarios]

Ok, I know the cheese probably stands alone on this one, but I really really really really think she's absolutely stunning..... and no, not because I like her and feel sorry for her... I think she was absolutely physically beautiful with those blue eyes and that hair.... she's still gorgeous now, but honestly, the way she talks about how she HAD to have surgery ...etc, you'd think she was a completely ugly dog or smthg.. she's really hot! But then again, your own opinion is what matters only.

[iHeartMADtv]

@ammarios The cheese does not stand alone, I complete agree with you. :)

[iHeartMADtv]

@ammarios *completely

[effingya]

how little did she know, the celeb gossip would be gold....

[audreyhepburnrules]

"So like me and Jerry are in a fight.. except he doesn't know it" Haha love that.. because that's something I'd say. XD

[lovemymomma]

She looked pretty then, I don't see why she felt she needed plastic surgery!

[scar9face09]

I think she looks really pretty here...

[treemonster123]

she talks so fast!

[mvpc2323]

SHIT, LOOK AT THAT OUTFIT

[lorrswim34]

This is me in about 15 years

[DaBearsRockMySox]

wow she looked so different

[mariskalover44]

wow okay that skirt makes her look S-H-O-R-T

[iHeartMADtv]

@mariskalover44 She is short, haha.

[TheIMC8]

First?

[iHeartMADtv]

@TheIMC8 I believe so. Or first HBO special, I should say.

[vanessafabulay]

It's funny to see her now, when her timing is so perfect, and the pattern of her speech is so clear. She's so cute her though

[anonwillprevail247]

DAMN! she was good looking once??? way to much work done. now she looks really old and weird but i still love her =p

[Sei1863]

HOTTIE!

[spoenk]

I love her nervous giggle, so cute

[iHeartMADtv]

@spoenk I know, right? :)

[hazard04]

I've been waiting for this! thank you.

[iHeartMADtv]

@hazard04 you're welcome. :]

[chadeffer]

She use to be really annoying...Like that's a different person then the person she is now....

[diomiguel]

loved her back then. she was actually on the d-list.

[destinych3]

I love her!

But,geez, the nineties fashion sucked! lol

[iHeartMADtv]

@destinych3 haha, there was even really "fashion" in the nineties, haha. it was like some people were still trying to do the 80's think, which didn't really work, and then there was this look... and ... kids in tight fabric floral pants.(me)

[ciara4893]

I LOVE her.

[SpeedyBlueDemon]

Thanks for uploading this! I LOVE Kathy Griffin.

[jabori1]

Hey thanks for posting the video! It's crazy to see Kathy nervous since she's all blunt and a pro at stand up now...lol...Awesome!!!

[alphaerik]

wow, Kathy was really cute here!

[DoubleDBlogXX]

kathy is so cute here!

[potoXmikey]

she talks to fast

[GreysALIASAnatomy]

She always makes fun of her former self before she got plastic surgery. I think she looks great. I'm not sure why she's always so down on herself. Thanks for posting this! :)

[beckyseo]

it's so weird... she's so nervous!

[closer7339]

I love it when people are smart enough to post on YouTube but not so smart as to get the video off the TV and into a file unless they freakin' videotape it.

[iHeartMADtv]

@closer7339 Umm, excuse me but just because I don't know how to transfer it from my DVR to the computer doesn't mean I'm not smart. Not everyone knows how to do that. I don't have this on tape so it's not like I can make it into a file. I don't see anyone else complaining. I love it when people on youtube have nothing better to do than criticize videos. Grow the fuck up.

[JeremyGafford]

@iHeartMADtv Lol , I agree with you don't watch it if you don't like it.

[PianoChick36]

I swear the announcer said Kathy Griffiths...

[iHeartMADtv]

@PianoChick36 You're not the first person to think that! haha. No, that was me actually. While recording this I had a stuffed up nose, so I was sniffling. It didn't sound like that on my television, haha. :)

[DitaTwilighter]

@PianoChick36 he did lol

[Maneater1984]

Oh my god, everything about her is sooooooo different these days! New face, new hair, new body... she looks "chubby" and a little butch here haha.

[pescilinirosso]

When she giggles I giggle... Love you kathy!

[813BlackMagic]

Wow!!!!!!!!!!She is sooooo nervous.She is talking so fast!!!!!!!

[internationalutuber]

wow she's talking even faster than usual here. lol

[mkayeSMILEZ]

she's soo adorable in this 'cos she's nervous (;

&& her book IS awesome !

[Dlo111]

omg lmao

[321livi]

She's so pretty! <3

[TheInnerSanctuary]

"If this doesnt work out I'm just gonna start stripping and crying like Cocoa from Fame."

[Muffincakes1976]

LOVE her. Thanks for posting. I wish she had never gone for plastic surgery though... She looks awesome here

[iHeartMADtv]

I love her, too! :D No problem. yeah, I know she so didn't need plastic surgery. she's beautiful.

[Muffincakes1976]

I know they say it's ripping them by posting on youtube.... but because of your posting, I'm buying her book and dvds.... Totally going to support her. Thanks so much.

[iHeartMADtv]

@Muffincakes1976 aww yay! That's so awesome! I'm feeling rather proud of myself, haha. Oh and by the way, her book is really great. So are her stand up comedy specials. xD

[Alfruna]

@Muffincakes1976 I agree! I love her eyes and eyebrows here.

[adrianeaglrck]

hey woo how about that sliver chair band,,,hahah...and romeo+juliet....what? oohh man yeah the 90's he he *cough* *tumble weed*

[DarknTwistyTopModel]

OMG! what is she wearing? hilarious tho, and her old nose =S

[djmixnmagic]

Everyone remembers the first time they fell in love. I remember this special crystal clear because it's when I fell in love with Kathy.  I'm so happy she's finally getting the recognition she so completely deserves. Love you, Kath Kath!

[iHeartMADtv]

awwhh, that was so sweet!

[danyboy9]

she looks like a man

[iHeartMADtv]

hey now, that's not nice! :/

I think she's beautiful.

[Keeana94]

whoa ! she talks fast xD

love her thoughh ;D <3

[monkeypaw1010]

She's talking so fast. Nerves.

[DvdTrincao]

"please welcome Kaaaaathyyy Griffiiiiiiiiiith!"

The intro says it all.

I love it. :)

[iHeartMADtv]

haha, you're the second person to say that.

I know it sounds like Kathy Griffith, but that's because right after he said Griffin I sniffled. I had an incredibly stuffed up nose that day, haha.

[Chrysothemis]

Wow, what a difference a decade makes - a decade of dedication and hard work.

[xKimxMeganxMerylx]

OMG, thanks for posting this!!

Kathy is just adorable, I love how nervous she is, and how fast she talks! :D Aww, sooo sweet! :D

[iHeartMADtv]

you're welcome!

haha, I totally agree with you. aww. :D

[Sepir29]

She talks so fast !!!!

[jphilipgardner7]

she's definitely gotten better. you can tell she's much more relaxed these days.

[iHeartMADtv]

oh, totally. Well I mean, she has been doing it for so many years. :)

[KingofIce547]

She was so cute. :P

LOL She still has that voice that I love. She dressed so hippyish lol

[lalaloobabe]

she was so cute!

[iHeartMADtv]

was? ;)

[lalaloobabe]

lol you know what i mean. she's still adorable!

[iHeartMADtv]

haha, yeah I know. :)

[brotmann86]

she looked kinda like ellen with fake her. but she was and is the queen

[iHeartMADtv]

did you mean to type "Hair" ?

if so, what fake hair? that's her real hair.

[xSiouXBoix]

I think she was prettier before the plastic surgery. Her eyes especially.

[iHeartMADtv]

oh yeah. her lasik eye surgery really fucked up her vision.

yes I totally agree, she did not need any surgery. damn insecurities! D:

[kc139799]

i dont think it was the lasik that changed the appearance of her eyes. i think she might have done like a brow lift. her eyes are much rounder and smaller these days than whats seen here.. also i feel like her voice is different too..

[iHeartMADtv]

yeah you're right, she has gotten a brow lift. I didn't mean it changed her appearance, I just meant that she definitely shouldn't have gotten lasik because, like I said, her vision is ruined now. but yeah, she did get a brow lift. :)

[neoeros]

erm... lasik surgery is a procedure where by lasers go into the cornea to correct your visions.... It doesn't really do anything to the way you look...

[iHeartMADtv]

I know that. I never said it changed your appearance. I said she shouldn't have had ANY surgery, that includes lasik. I mentioned the lasik because she lost a part of her vision that she'll never get back.

[neoeros]

Well any type of surgery plastic or not has some sort of small risk involved and I'm sure she knew that. Lasik is really popular and quite an economical investment from where I'm from because when u think about it, it means no more contacts and no more glasses that you need to change every one month or so. It's just unfortunate that hers was a fluke

[iHeartMADtv]

yeah that's what scares me. she did know that but she still got it anyway and almost died from her lypo. but she didn't know that there was a huge risk at that point, though.

[LiteraryFashion]

she's talking really fast, i guess she was nervous... but super-cute anyway... :D

[iHeartMADtv]

yeah I know, when she said she was nervous at the beginning, she wasn't kidding! and yes, still cute. :D

[Rain2020]

I love Kathy. But she does look better after the nose job and Veneers.

[iHeartMADtv]

hah, aww I think she looks great either way.

[Snapepet]

WOW...the cropped top, shiny skirt, and brownish lipstick is SCREAMING "NINETIES!!!" She's absolutely adorable.

[iscrmoal]

That was before the nose job. She looks very different. I've loved her since Sudenly Susan, She's one of the most honest and funny people in Hollywood!

[iHeartMADtv]

I agree! :)

[bberny2004]

is this the stand up she did that lead to the seinfeld storyline?

note: on the seinfeld disc in the extras they talk about a standup show she did where she talked about seinfeld, after being on it, and then they brought her back and wrote the story about how her character bases a stand up show on him.

make sense to anyone?

[iHeartMADtv]

ohh, yeah I know what you're talkng about now!

and the answer is yes. It led to the second time she was on seinfeld where they wrote a script for her to be on it again.

[liveNbreathemusic]

wow she talking soooo fast

[shmandy232]

how old was she here???

[iHeartMADtv]

hmm, well this is from 1996.

[inick122492]

36... born in 1960

[iHeartMADtv]

oh, niceee.

that answers that question! :) thanks.

[shmandy232]

WOW she looks soooooo different! still love her though!!:D:D:D

[chriscashe]

I have this on DVR on my DirecTv. AAAAHHH Look how she's dressed!

[iHeartMADtv]

haha, I have it on my DVR, too.

[imreallytired]

lol she is going so fast!

[mazze00]

OMG...did the guy introduce her as kathy griffith

[iHeartMADtv]

oh no that was me; I had a stuffed up nose.

[RedApeNinjaZord]

oh wow. she looks so nervous.

but 13 years ago she was still amazing :D

[myophil]

y'know i dont think she looks half bad in this. i dont why she had all that plastic surgery, she didnt need it that bad

[iHeartMADtv]

I know. I guess she was insecure. :(

but she's gorgeous no matter what.

[StrawberryBigMac]

fashion died in the nineties....her outfit is sooo nineties ...iiick!

[iHeartMADtv]

well duuh her outift is 90s.

this was in the 90s

[wisteria321]

lol omg this is so funny....I love no matter how much she trashes celebs, she always makes fun of her self. LOVE her.

[iHeartMADtv]

yeah I know! My philosophy is as long as you have a sense of humor about yourself you can tease others.

[AxeGrrrl]

EXACTLY!

if Kathy didn't do that, I wouldn't have the huge affection for her that I do! :)

[jebusi]

omg i have tthat sense of humor, i mean is u cant make fun os yourself how can u ake fun of other people

[iHeartMADtv]

exactly! you have to be able to make fun of yourself, otherwise every mistake you make turns into an international crisis and you beat yourself up about it.

At the end of the day, all you can do is laugh and never make that same mistake. :)

[jebusi]

good pint, im so happy that i find somebody that thinks the same.

[iHeartMADtv]

me too.

I'm glad we have the same view point on this.

[eveylively]

omg, she was so dorky and nerdy back then! She's really refined her style and evolved as a comic. love her!

[iHeartMADtv]

haha, I know. She was kind of a dork, wasn't she? I think she still has that side to her, though. It's not as noticable because she doesn't get as nervous.

But this makes me love her even more. :]

[iHeartMADtv]

watch in HQ!!

It does make some difference. :)
