Kathy Griffin

Whether she’s tearing up stars on the red carpet, making Anderson Cooper blush on CNN or keeping fans doubled over with laughter in her stand-up comedy specials and late-night talk show appearances, the two-time Emmy winner, Grammy winner and New York Times best-selling author has been making audiences laugh for years with her rapid fire wit. In addition to holding the Guinness World Records title for the most televised stand-up comedy specials ever by a male or female, she’s also the recipient of 2009’s GLAAD Vanguard recipient, 2011 Trevor Project Life Award honoree, and IAVA’s 2013 Leadership in Entertainment Honoree.
