Why? AC and KG have been hosting this freewheel, loose cannon, slightly tipsy shitshow for nearly a decade. Ringing in the new year with the Vienna Philharmonic, this ain't. Though I suppose they could go back to doing a "light-hearted" retrospective of all the news and "newsy" stuff that happened the previous year.…

HA! someone who thinks archer was better than picard has the gaul to assume i would value anything they have to say. how ridiculous.

She's taken off her clothes on the NYE show before so this was not even close to a surprise for him. Also, they are actually quite good friends. He knows what he's getting when he agrees to work with her and he seems more than fine with it.

Housewives and gay guys? Wow.

Kathy Griffin is a comedian. She earns her living in comedy. Her aim is to make people laugh and sometimes she does outrageous stuff for that purpose, including taking off her jacket and prancing around in her bra, something she has done in the past as well.

Boom, right there.

Been here for years, but it must be your first time. Those imaginary women in your head are scary, huh? Poor boy.

I didn’t say I was a trafficked prostitute, dumbass. Sex worker is a term that encompasses everyone in the adult industry.

Don Lemon may be a douche, but he’s a douche wearing a shirt.

If I looked that good now, I'd be nekkid all day long

The same reason you’re not. She’s entertaining and funny.

Good catch. The girls of the world must know that if you take off your top and bask in the applause of a crowd celebrating how good you look, that is no excuse for your gay friend to just throw a compliment verbally acknowledging what everybody else was applauding and that he’s a fucking dick bag asshole even if you…

if you want anyone here to take you seriously, you might not want to lead off with “chick” and “tits”. just sayin’.

You do know that she's a professional comedian right? A lot of what you're criticizing is part of her act. And you really think Kathy F'ing Griffin lacks confidence?! Wow.

I just want to say kudos to Kathy Griffin. She is 55, and appears to be in fantastic shape (and not “for a 55 yr old”)

There has to be a victim for you to blame one.

To be fair, she was flaunting it, hoping to get a reaction. He reacted. Better than Cooper’s childlike embarrasment at boobies. Honestly it’s the least stupidest thing he’s said.

So, if a woman taking off her shirt and parading around in a bra shakin what her momma gave her isn’t an appropriate time to compliment her breasts, then what is?

He was just playing along with her type of comedy. He’s an idiot, but not because of this.

Please. She took her top off in the middle of hosting a live tv show. Her tits were fair game. There is nothing offensive about what he said.
