Movie Reviews of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: Kathy Griffin Is A Wonderful Comedian & Stand Up Comic
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm now watching the 5th season of this show and am somewhat bewildered by why only one season of this show is on DVD. I am NOT someone who took to this reality tv show genre with two big exceptions. I do watch this show and PROJECT RUNWAY. I have not even been tempted to watch any of the other reality tv shows.
I first saw Kathy on SEINFELD. Jerry is remarking to Kramer how terrible a stand up comic Kathy is and Kramer turns around and tells Kathy this dig. In retaliation, Kathy stages a new show which completely tears apart Jerry Seinfeld, the stand-up comic, and it is a big hit, especially with everyone Jerry knows.
Nowadays Kathy Griffin does stand up comedy shows plus also her own reality tv show. The basis for the title is that Kathy is so far down the food chain as a celebrity that she is on the D List and hasn't got a chance of hitting the Hollywood A list (where Jerry Seinfeld is).
The show is Kathy trying to forge her way up the food chain and beyond being on the D list. She has some hilarious moments doing gigs that most other comics would rather die first before doing. However, Kathy is unstoppable. She is also incapable of being insulted. Like most stand-up comics, she is very fast on her feet and can come back with rejoinders right away. She also involves everyone she can in her quest and her parents have become mini stars in their own right. (her Dad has since died but her Mom remains a big hit)
Since this first season she has won two Emmys for the show. We are now on the 5th Season and Kathy Griffin, I submit, is no longer on the D list. I don't know if she is on the A list yet, I doubt it, but she is moving up fast on the inside track. I've also noticed that some of the bigger names are now getting her on their shows. For example, during the time Letterman was getting pilloried over his Sarah Palin jokes, he brought Griffin on and she managed to get off a few key lines which helped Letterman's cause. I also saw her appear on Howard Stern TV and there was nothing that he and his band of goons could say to fluster her. She is so on top of her comedic game that they didn't have a chance up against her. They were not able to land one blow on her, try as they did. This was the first time I ever watched that show because normally I totally hate everyone on it. Kathy is also the emcee for the Joan Rivers roast which is being broadcast this month.
It really is great to see a female stand up comic start to make it like a Jerry Seinfeld. Griffin is out there in the vanguard and doing one heck of a job.
Summary of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List - The Complete First Season
Season One of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List comes to DVD for the first time ever, giving an insider's look into the personal life of one of America's top comedians. Join Kathy, the hilarious performer who's not afraid to speak her mind, as she navigates her way through the ruthless world of Hollywood surrounded by a supportive but motley posse: her husband Matt, wine-loving parents, trusty assistant, and two "Main Gays." Nominated for a 2006 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program, this 2-disc set includes every irreverent Season One episode, a sneak peek episode of Season Two, and the entire stand-up special Kathy Griffin Is... Not Nicole Kidman. Your jaw will drop and you'll laugh 'til it hurts as she deconstructs show business myths and legends in this must-own show Newsweek calls "a subculture sensation."Similar DVD Movies
