Crying With Kathy...

The last show I would’ve ever imagined myself crying at was “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List”…

But there I was, crying right along with Kathy as she relived the day that she lost her father. It was hard not too…

It felt a little voyeuristic watching her go through this, but Kathy handled it beautifully, staying as strong as she could until “the moment she’d been dreading her entire life” finally came. The last phone conversation with her father was especially heartbreaking, because she (and we) could tell that he was saying goodbye.

Then, at the end of the episode, we watched Kathy take the stage for the first time after her father’s death. Both Kathy and her staff were concerned that she would break down on stage, but she made it through. You could see the tears in her eyes the whole time she talked about her dad, John, but the support of the audience helped her out until she could launch into her attacks on Britney.

And even though it’s several months late, let me add my condolences to Kathy and her family. Her dad was a funny guy…

If you missed it, you can catch an encore several times throughout the weekend (It’s Bravo after all.) and Tuesday, June 26th at 9 p.m. before the week’s new episode at 10.
