On Friday, the telecast of the Creative Arts Emmys will air on the E! network.

We have a hunch many people won't be tuning in to hear who won for Best Sound Mixing or Best Technical Direction, but what they will be tuning in for is the first five minutes, to hear what the outrageous Kathy Griffin is going to say in her hosting monologue.

We predict some comedy gold!

Kathy has a history of being provocative and unpredictable during her Emmy appearances, which includes a speech so controversial, a religious theater group took out an entire page in USA Today, condemning her.

But Kathy only sees that as a highlight to her career, adding, "I'd like to think that that's why I got the gig — that I was so offensive and shocking last year that they thought maybe I could put this thing on the map."

Too bad the show isn't taped live! She would have had a field day with the Kanye West - VMA incident.

The four hour long award show that covers everything from editing to makeup, will be whittled down for the broadcast.

Kathy concedes that working a long award show and making it entertaining isn't always easy, but she has ways of keeping things interesting, saying "Sometimes I have to take my clothes off and pixelate my private parts to get a laugh."

Do what you have to do to get it done, girl!
