My personal idol — well, okay, she’s kind of tied with Chelsea Handler right now — Kathy Griffin, won an Emmy for the second year in a row for her now-inappropriately named My Life on the D-List. I don’t care what anyone else says about you, Kathy — I think you’re a genius and a role model, and so do the Emmy voters. The vid above is of Kathy being a riot in the press room after winning. You’ll recall that last year, in her acceptance speech, Kathy told Jesus to suck it (around here, we just think He’s a sexy bitch). This year, she thought better of it: “I thank you so much,” she said onstage, “I’m not going to tell anybody to suck it.”
Another female comedic genius and barrier-destroyer, Sarah Silverman, took home the award for original music and lyrics for her “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” song, thanking ex-boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel in her speech. “And to the person for whom this was made, Jimmy Kimmel, who broke my heart … oops … I mean, who will always have a place in my heart,” she said.
Next year, I plan to win in the music and lyrics category, for my in-progress ditty about my naughty pool-repair fantasies titled “I Want Michael Phelps’s Caulk.”
Cynthia Nixon won for guest actress in a drama for her stint as a woman with multiple personalities on Law & Order: SVU, although she didn’t show up to receive her award. The Simpsons took home their 10th Emmy for half-hour animated series and South Park won for hour-long animated series.
You can see a full list of winners here.
She is freaking hilarious!!!! Ok NOW I am going to bed. G’night!
Loved Kathy since Suddenly Susan, and love LOVE that Sarah Silverman won for ‘I’m Fucking Matt Damon’ – even though I preferred Jimmy Kimmel’s reply!
I didn’t even know the Emmy’s were on.
Anyhoo.
LOVE KG! My husband took me to Clearwater last year for my 30th birthday to see her live. It was awesome! I would see her again in a heartbeat.
Yay for Kathy’s second win!!! She totally deserves it.

Kathy Griffin says it all and does it all. It’s great to see her recognized again…she’s way ahead of the curve!!
Where is the story of Lohan punching a photographer in the face? Do I have to get all the juicy stories elsewhere while Beet runs the 100th story about monkey face Phelps?
Please write that song, Beet. It would complete my life.
Please write that song, Beet. It would complete my life.
wild.. Im watching her Chicago show right now with her talking about the incident… and surfing your site. I love her! HILARIOUS!
Remember that bit KG use to do about how she thought she was cool with Lindsay Lohan until she was dissed at a club? Then she started making fun of LL being the celebrity DJ at some party and she would scratch the turntables and different music was coming out of the speakers.. I know you love that bit Beet. You just can’t help it
my husband got me tickets to see kathy griffin in san diego for our anniversary. i love this woman. but the best part about the show was that my husband was seemingly the only straight man in attendance. it was great to watch him get hit on by so many attractive men. fabulous! he is such a good sport! back to kathy, she is BRILLIANT!
