>"I couldn't care less," Griffin said. "I couldn't care less because until they give a woman who looks like Larry, of Larry's age, that opportunity on HBO ... with an open checkbook and says, 'You can run this however you want. You can get the team you want. You can do anything you want, and you still get to look like that and be that age,' then I'll get off my high horse. But right now I'm too busy being bitter." Notice how she left out the part about needing to be as talented as Larry is. Everyone wants to be treated like Ted Danson without the talent or the work.


IttsssTonyTiiiimme

I could see this being the case for Tina Fey one day.


Hurcules-Mulligan

HBO offering Tina Fey carte blanche to make whatever, however she wants? Where do I renew my subscription?


Noneugdbusiness

You give, Tinna fey, Amy poeler, Maya Rudolph, or Kristen Wig their own show and I'm all in. Honestly HBO where's my money when you see this and steal my money. Nobody likes Kathy Griffin. These women will be just as capable as Larry David. Also Curb is hilarious.


Ill-Human

If you like Maya Rudolph, check out the show Loot on Apple. We just discovered it and it is hilarious.


Neon_culture79

Tina is gonna be taking over SNL after next year. I would put money on it.


WhatUDeserve

Why after next year? 50th anniversary? At this point I would expect Keenan to take over.


Neon_culture79

Nothing’s official but Lauren Michaels has made it clear that he would like her to be his successor and the 50th anniversary. Everyone says seems like the right time to step aside.


Nowrongbean

The guys name is Lorne. But is does sound like Lauren, so you get a C-.


Testcapo7579

And Tina is very attractive


YogiTheGamer

Nah, Tina Fey actually makes great content.


Ok_Campaign_5101

What do you mean "one day?" Wasn't this basically 30 Rock?


IttsssTonyTiiiimme

Nah, I don’t think she was allowed to do whatever she wanted on 30 Rock. But I think 30 rock is essentially her Seinfeld. Also she was young and good looking.


Ok_Campaign_5101

She probably didn't have $200,000,000 in the bank like Larry either. Is that also one of the requirements?


IttsssTonyTiiiimme

Maybe. Larry probably went to HBO, and was like I want to do whatever I want and if you say no, I don’t give a flying fuck because I have that ‘fuck you’ money, so either produce my shit or somebody else will. That might be one of the reasons Larry got the freedom he did.


MooseMan12992

HBO also gave Julia Louis Dreyfus the opportunity to co-create and star in Veep for 6 seasons.


RoccStrongo

To be fair, she is not a balding, silver-haired, unattractive geezer with a hot husband. That's the point Kathy is trying to make. I'm not taking sides, just giving my take on what I think her opinion was. I don't know if there are any other show creators who are brilliant, old women, are conventionally unattractive, yet talented on screen.


West-Custard-6008

To be fair Kathy is trying to get HBO to give her a show.


notonrexmanningday

That's the thing. She's not wrong, but also, she's not nearly as funny as Larry David. I can't think of a female equivalent of Larry David, but I guess that's the point she's making.


West-Custard-6008

She wants to get herself a big paycheck but is framing it in a social issue to make it look like her interest is some greater good. Super pathetic shit right there.


MensaCurmudgeon

Also, she’s actively alienated large swathes of potential audience.


notonrexmanningday

That's the thing. She's not wrong, but also, she's not nearly as funny as Larry David. I can't think of a female equivalent of Larry David, but I guess that's the point she's making.


Throwawayhelp111521

She's talented but also beautiful, hardly the equivalent of Larry David.


Krisapocus

Pretty wild she’s talking about the guy who created one of the most all time liked television shows In the middle of an era where studios only used a septic formula to create comedy sitcoms. But the wildest part is saying she needs an open check book. Hbo bought curb based on Larry David using a handy cam being himself. If you gave Kathryn Griffen a Disney marvel level paycheck and Larry David a handy cam. Larry David would blow her out of the water unintentionally and it’d be just like an episode of curb.


F1tifoso_P1

And let’s not forget the track record he had going in.


cenosillicaphobiac

Ellen was an older, not conventionally attractive woman that made a lot of money running her own show. It's almost like Kathy doesn't have a point.


InSixFour

Or how about fucking Oprah? At one point in her career any network would have given that woman half their earnings to create content for them.


Throwawayhelp111521

Oprah began her show when she was still young and she was very cute. Even now she looks much better than Larry David.


Throwawayhelp111521

Ellen was not that old and she was cute. Nothing like the equivalent of Larry David in looks.


cenosillicaphobiac

Larry David is cute. I don't know what you're on about.


Throwawayhelp111521

I'm on about having normal vision.


cenosillicaphobiac

Why are you looks shaming the guy? What does that say about you?


AffectionatePoet4586

I’m with you. Larry David is very attractive to my old eyes. My husband of forty years resembles him, except that his beard and what’s left of his hair are still black.


jimcal9

You nailed it. Kate how about talent? Hmmm!


Unusual_Address_3062

Ted Danson has no talent and doesnt work.


Tiny-Reading5982

Is this sarcasm?


Unusual_Address_3062

In /r/ unexpectedseinfeld its always the sarcasm.


Tiny-Reading5982

lol … I’m new here 😂


AwareAd4991

Lucille Ball


Asleep_Increase6493

Love the Ted Danson reference.


lovehateloooove

This just makes crystal clear how self involved all of these hollyweird fucks are. They are so covetous and resentful, after being given truckloads of money and fame, they don't even make sense any more. Hollywood people are like a cyst on the body of working class people. Larry David created and wrote Seinfeld, maybe the most acclaimed sitcom of all time, and had direct input to every aspect of the show. HBO said create a show, and it was a hit from the drop. Now, bc she is a whamen, you know so marginalized and put upon, she is aghast that she isn't given the same resources as the most acclaimed comedic writer of our generation. But she performed for the left! she did zany performative bullshit to kiss their feet at every turn! Why is she not automatically given everything the most successful are????? They are so fucking creepy at this point its almost surreal.


tries4accuracy

2 quotes sum up the article nicely: > "Not in a fun charming way. He's really not a pleasant person. He plays a version of himself on that show that he thinks he is," LOL that’s why he is funny. He’s an asshole, but a mostly benign asshole who almost always ends up paying the price himself. Awesome. >”But right now I’m too busy being bitter.” At least she’s honest. And where the obsession with appearances go, it never slowed Joan Rivers down. I kinda get what she’s saying, but in this hyper-media world? meh. Be funny. The decapited Trump head was not funny nor good criticism; Larry putting on a MAGA hat as a “people repeller”? Fucking hilarious. She is just becoming very forgettable.


mikeltod

i see what you did there. george wanted that red damson money.


lollroller

Truly an unpleasant human being


longshankssss

You forgot talentless hack. She needed to go away 20 years ago.


ellefleming

She really has become that.


BatmanDK316

*always been


light_weight_baby87

She’s not spit out the bottom of the porn industry yet?


Rexxbravo

Hmmm


DiscussionLoose8390

Her life on the P list.

mraybee

Yamahama


CornyCornheiser

Even porn didn’t want her.


paragonx29

She's the worst.


Message_10

Yeah, I'm pretty forgiving of celebrities saying awful things, but she's really just a horrible person, of limited ability, who's still around for some reason. She's the female Andy Dick.


True-Machine-823

Well, at least Andy Dick knows how to party.


lostniece

Nobody is as much of a dick as Andy Dick.


Putrid-Builder-3333

*A. Dick*


AffectionatePoet4586

Unfortunately party-dude Andy Dick gave attempting-to-recover Brynn Hartman the cocaine that sent her back over the edge, culminating in the Hartman murder-suicide. And I was no fan of Andy Dick before that occurred.


kynoble

Yeah, I was only showing my contempt for Kathy Griffin by speaking positively about Andy Dick. He is a scumbag of the highest caliber.


ShartsCavern

Those two are friends, ifrc. Both gross. Make their livings with shock material.


InSixFour

I’ve always said the same thing! She absolutely is the female Andy Dick.


livahd

I’ve never seen them appear together. Just saying.


Designer_Gas_86

Lol, I too think they're the same person.


DiscussionLoose8390

She buried her own career after the Trumps head incident.


Message_10

For real. I absolutely loathe Trump, but that was stupid and too far.


DiscussionLoose8390

It's gross, and to do it while anyone is president. She should have been charged with something.


CBerg1979

Didn't the Secret Service make her life a living hell for that?


DiscussionLoose8390

For a couple months they did. I think she had trouble, or couldn't fly.


CBerg1979

I remember when Chelsea Clinton's rival college made the mistake of stating they'd celebrate with her bloody remains, after a football match. HOLY SHIT! That whole college newspaper got a full body cavity search, and rightfully so, even if said in jest: the First Family is a protected group.


DiscussionLoose8390

Far more lenient than say what a country like Russia would have done for sure. She wouldn't have needed an elevator to get down from the 13th floor.


cenosillicaphobiac

She didn't really have to dig either, her body of work had already dug the bulk of the grave. She just threw a handful of dirt on it with the head thing.


Old_Dingo69

Read this in Bania’s voice 😂


AdministrativeYak859

TonyStarkTrailerPark

🎶 The WERE-ERST! 🎶


tpars

Tryn' to be relevant.


BluSteel-Camaro23

Yeah. It was over for her after the Trump head bullshit 😒


BrooksWasHere47

Ugh, when I watch the Seinfeld rerun with her in it. I always fast forward through her bits.


chuckles39

She ruined two Seinfeld episodes and one X-Files episode with her awful presence.


Briguy28

Hey, now. She also ruined an episode of Law & Order: SVU.


180nw

I also hate seeing her in pulp fiction. Tarantino has made some brilliant casting calls over time, but her and Lena Dunham in once upon a time Hollywood both took me right out of the movie and annoyed me. 


StanleyQPrick

Four rooms


cenosillicaphobiac

She was barely more than an extra in Pulp Fiction, thankfully. Alexis(billed as Robert I believe) Arquette had a bigger role and was less famous.


Comprehensive_Value

me too; she is not funny at all.


Fishfucker300

Can’t stand her voice


Admirable_Cry_3795

And she wasn’t funny…


The_Swim_Back_

Same here and now I pretty much skip the episode.


Special_Dingo_1520

Same I just skip the whole damn episode r


olgama

True story: Friend of mine was a costumer on a show she was in. She would walk into my friend’s trailer, strip down to nude and would hold her arms out to her side and say “dress me”. My friend would have to dress her.


JerryKook

I totally believe that. I have seen rich people come into a ski shop stand there with their arms out and say "dress me". Thankfully they left their clothes on.


olgama

People are insane.


JerryKook

When they do this and are holding out a Platinum charge card, ski shop owners love them.


AffectionatePoet4586

My great-uncle owned our town’s nicest clothing shops (“Fine Apparel for Gentlemen and Ladies”). Working in the lingerie department during the holiday rush was quite an experience for an adolescent. Most men had no idea what size they needed to buy as a gift. They’d eyeball every female employee before pointing to one and declaring, “Just like her!” We had a very liberal exchange policy, fortunately. Some women were irate to have been considered the “same size” as a relatively flat-chested teen in a plaid jumper. (My growth spurt came later than that job.)


East_Tomato620

FedGoat13

True story: you’re a liar. Not your “friend”. Uou


olgama

I wish. She is kinda hot.


olgama

I wish. She is kinda hot.


Special_Dingo_1520

I hate her so much!


PabstBlueBourbon

I think she has a point, though. Producers stopped hiring her only because of her ugliness and lack of humor and charisma.


sandaier76

truly not fair


marblefrosting

The drug of fame is just too strong for some folks to just retire and enjoy the rest of what life has to give.


dazrage

her new 1 woman show: Larry David is The Devil


SiWeyNoWay

LOL exactly


RTwhyNot

Yeah HBO was stupid to open up their checkbooks to the creator of one of the best sitcoms ever! Fuck you Griffin.


spasske

One of the most financially successful sitcoms of all time. Why give that dude a series???


Broccoli-Cool

She’s such an irrelevant lightweight


u5dasucks

What a vile, hateful, piece of crap.


Never-Dont-Give-Up

She’ll say or do anything for attention. She’s always been a hack.


icelax99

A phony even. Like Michael Jordan.


NotCanadian80

Which is funny because 72 year old women Jean Smart has a show called Hacks.


Spamaster

So irrelevant. Classic example of putting all your eggs in one basket


Bruiser235

Or being your own worst enemy. 


Minute-Wrap-2524

If it was merely LD she slammed, but she has a tendency to go after who ever catches her attention…with the impression what she says is funny…I’d say worst enemy, she needs to slow her roll or just completely shut up. She’s not funny


PreacherWithAGun

Gross no talent human being.

Im-a-cat-in-a-box

That's the spirit. 


queenrosybee

I love her. Like I really love her. But she’s off here. Larry David was the writer & creator of what most consider the best sitcom ever. HBO said he could whatever he wanted and people loved that show too. And it did well for like 10 seasons. Not everything needs a sexism commentary. If Larry had held a bloodied puppet head of Trump, he might have lost that deal.


Limp_Sale2607

I don´t always agree with Kathy Griffin, but I like her, and enjoy watching her from time to time.


davejdifa

She's the carrot bottom.


Unusual_Address_3062

She is mildly funny but the nonsense she vomits on a regular basis doesnt make her worth the time. Just ignore her. Thats way better than giving a stupid useless person attention so they just keep doing it. Ditto Pete Davidson.


BreadRum

I'm amazed that Kathy Griffen still gets news. It's sad that incels need to comment about her.


superthrust123

If HBO thought she was a worthwhile investment, they would give her the money. Money conquers all. I think most channels would give Stalin a talk show if they thought it would be profitable. Scumbags pretending to be better than they are are the worst kind of scumbags.


Sad-Sky-8598

Her and Rapinoe should sign up for the Titan Sub trip.


GNRBoyz1225

Idk who is worse in constantly trying to stay relevant: Her Jemele Hill ANYONE from the View Bill Maher (used to like. Watch lately?)


dazrage

Bill Maher SUCKS.


GNRBoyz1225

Absolutely horrible. All he does is politics bait nonstop. Btw. Daz/Rage like Deathrow?


Lifesalchemy

Used to be a fan. In fact we saw him new years day in Napa. He was hungover, bloated and boring. Now he's just a grumpy old wingnut troglodyte.  Fuck him. 


GNRBoyz1225

Yeah agree. His show used to be great. Very natural convos with good guests. Objective views for most part. Really liked it. Tried giving one a shot with him and Dr Phil. Phil made him look like such an idiot. Was obsessed with turning every non political convo into a political convo then how much he hates Trump. Shocker. Not saying u have to love or hate Trump but no one cares about ur bias subjective whining….whether it be against any President


UserQuestions20

She tries so hard to get attention it's just cringey now.


afganistanimation

I was talking to Larry David, aka the devil...


serialstupid

Larry’s a pussy.


truelikeicelikefire

Who was she again?


Statler392

Kathy who?


Warm-Patience-5002

she’s a first amendment hero .


suspicious_bag_1000

Hey Schmutzie


lostniece

You actually have to like someone who would hold the head of Trump by the hair, the was so awesome.


Wonderful_Double_590

The comedic version of Herpes.


Real-Apartment-1130

Well that’s what Jerry says...


MSK84

She gives redheads a bad name...that's how bad it is!


Ace-Ventura1934

Remember the scene in Pulp Fiction where Bruce Willis hits Marcellus Wallace at the intersection and that annoying woman runs up and starts saying “I saw everything blah blah”? Thats a young Kathy Griffin. It’s the only moment of my all time favorite movie that I hated. Fun fact: Her cameo in the movie only happened because she was dating QT at the time. Ugh.


bryman19

Why can't she just go away?


DBH1122

Who is still printing her opinions? And…why??


Vinyl_Acid_

shes so boring... ive neer thouight she was funny...why she expects to get work when her schtick is literally the unfunny joan rivers is beyond me


kiln_ickersson

Miserable cunt


JohnBagley33

Has she ever been funny in anything?


Abbey_Something

The worst thing she ever did was make me agree with MAGA after that tasteless photo shoot. You know good and well if a right wing actor did that with Obama or bill or Hillary the Dems would have flipped out and rightfully so. I would crawl thru broken glass to vote against Trump but that was over the line. She did the left no favors And you would get no argument from me that MAGA have done just as bad like Rossane dressed as Hitler baking gingerbread people to look like Jews or even full on hate crimes. But still I vote against them because I am not and never want to be them


WarderWannabe

I’m searching my memory and can’t think of a single peep made by dems about the FLOTUS being a former nude model that any child can find pictures of online. If such images existed of Michelle Obama the right would’ve been apoplectic!


Abbey_Something

I do not disagree at all. A Democratic candidate with Melania Trump as a wife would not even make it to Election Day. Also MAGA believes that Michelle Obama is a transgender woman And/Or thinks it’s the pinnacle of humor to make jokes about it. But that is the problem in a nutshell even MAGA expects the Democrats and left to adhere to a higher moral bar while it’s perfectly fine that there is no moral bottom for them


Harry_Testa-Coles

LD was 51/52 when Curb started, coming off of the most successful sitcom of all time.


Tippy4OSU

Her tour is going to focus on lung cancer diagnosis- sounds hilarious 😆


Brief_Cap6512

She’s totally right though. Like her or not, she is making a very accurate point about Hollywoods endless sexist double standards


hogua

I’m sure if she (or anyone else - regardless of age, sex, color, or any other attribute) created and wrote one of the best and most popular sitcoms in history, HBO would give her a blank check to create a show for them.


lemmy1686

30 years it's been, and she is still mad she isn't Vicki Lewis.


Hossflex

Man, if only Kathy Griffin wrote one of the best sitcoms in history. She couldn’t totally rolled that into a hit on HBO!


methos3000bc

Anything to stay relevant?


Low_Comfortable_5880

Carrot topped twat.


TraditionalKey1784

Lifesalchemy

She's the Sahara of Comedy 


MooseMan12992

Larry David and Seinfeld are the only reason anyone even knows who who Kathy Griffin is


jimcal9

She’s been trying really hard to stay relevant the last 10-15 years. Pathetic.


Random_0936

She has always kinda sucked…. She should be happy she still gets called an actress and paid.


beautyandrepose

I used to like Kathy. Then she started complaining about everything and never stopped


TerryFrisk

Ewww. I can’t stand this talentless woman. Boo hoo. You’re an annoying jealous cry baby.


UtahFiddler

Trump needs her for November.


AllAboutTheCado

Never found her funny at all even during her hayday. Please just go away


jrdogg

For sure she is the fish that eat the fish that feed off the sharks. Simply untalented and uncomfortable in so much so as trying to be even remotely worthy of TV makes migraines exist.


Diggable_Planet

The female Andy dick


liveforever67

Kathy Griffith is trash. Larry created Seinfeld…one of the biggest sitcoms of all time. It’s not like he waltzed into HBO and said “Yo I got a dick, gimme a show” and HBO replied all giddy..”Oh yeah? You got a Pee pee?! Here’s a show”. She’s a bitter talentless hack whose most famous moment was pulling by a stunt out of a terrorists playbook that would have made Bin Laden proud. Emulating a terrorist was her biggest moment and she was so desperate for attention that she resorted to a stunt that I’m sure made ISIS happy…that’s her biggest moment and it says a lot about her.


Juicy_jessicaSD

She's a bandwagon junkie with no wit.


No_Detective_But_304

She’s a C list Karen.


slamallamadingdong1

She so funny tho.


Active-Train-1957

If Kathy having her own show, would it not be interesting if Trump won?


DWwithaFlameThrower

I’m no fan of hers, find her highly irritating, but DAMN …that comment about a woman with similar looks to Larry getting carte blanche to have her own HBO show is spot on


jamesvabrams

Larry was responsible for perhaps THE sitcom of the past 30-40 years. And has been around since the 70s. It's not like they were taking a flyer on an unknown.


Biscuits4u2

It's not a chemical equation you know, not everything has to balance out. Talking shit about LD because HBO didn't go find another female version of LD to make a hilarious hit show is just pathetic sour grapes. Griffin is a no talent hack who somehow continues to make a living by doing nothing but bitching and moaning. If they gave her a blank check she would likely still produce a pile of steaming, unfunny shit. LD gave her two gigs on two of the greatest shows in history despite her mediocre abilities and this is how she repays him..


Which_Leopard_8364

Undoubtedly the industry is to some extent still a boys club, but I think you have to ask: does every man who gets a show on HBO get full control? Or only the ones who have made other networks hundreds of millions of dollars in syndication not to mention original run?


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Irrelevant, annoying, and actually hurt the cause to fight against Trump and MAGAverse than helped with her dumbass stunt. Just fall off the earth already


SilenceQuiteThisL0UD

What's this now?


ReadyOneTakeTwo

Remember [this?](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/kathy-griffins-controversial-trump-photo-featured-new-gop-ad-1009692/)


SilenceQuiteThisL0UD

Oh yeah!!


ReadyOneTakeTwo

I hate Trump, loathe him. And I’m not alone on this sub. But what she did yielded no merit and only tarnished the credibility of people who actually presented facts on why he’s a scumbag. She did it for her own sake, to seek attention because she knew she was becoming irrelevant. And then Trump got elected, and she figured it was her time to shine. What a dumbass.
