Kathy Griffin Hosts The Schmemmys

She won't be telling Jesus to suck it this year!

Kathy Griffin, a two-time infamous Emmy winner, has been asked to host the 2009 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

For the last few years, Kathy has been the talk of the less publicized version of the Emmys with her outrageous speeches and antics. And, now, the network is pretty much giving her an open forum!

The show's producer, Spike Jones Jr. says, "We're thrilled as Kathy's the first Emmy winner to host the Creative Arts show. She stole the show the last two years, so now, we're giving her the opportunity to officially hijack it. We're all very, very excited. And just a little bit scared."

The show will actually be telecast as a two-hour special on E!, so we'll all get to enjoy whatever Kathy decides to let out of her mouth. (Or into it, depending on who's there.)

Will U watch now that Kathy is hosting?

      Sick, disgusting, ugly, non charitable woman. Her "body" she thinks is great … her horse face ruins her looks.

      That's a wonderful dress. Too much tan ages and can look leathery. Julianne Moore does red head skin right; she always glows and looks good in her skin.
      Griffin is funny, plucky and always fights the good fight.



    40. 40

    50. 50

      Kathy is a beautiful woman. I can't believe E! was stupid enough to let her and Joan Rivers go from the award shows. The hosts they have now may be politically correct but they're so predictable and boring. Get the comedy chicks back E!

      she's hilarious so yes I will watch!



    52. 52

      Jealous,much?



    64. 64

      Smart move E! The only reason I will watch it is to see what crazy Kathy does…..which means you just got two hours of commercial money out of something that didn't used to be televised. I hope you are paying Kathy what she deserves….That beautifu beeyotch needs a couple extra mill to get that house on Star Island.



    65. 65

      YES
