Comedienne Kathy Griffin has reportedly been banned from CNN. Insiders say the network is so outraged over her second foul-mouthed New Year’s Eve appearance it refuses to work with her ever again.
The notoriously foul-mouthed comedian let a four-letter word loose as she co-hosted a live New Year’s Eve special with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, slipping the F-word into a discussion about “balloon boy” Falcon Heene as she fumbled his first name.
It was the second outburst on CNN for Griffin, who cursed out a heckler at the network’s 2009 NYE celebration. Her inability to control her loose lips have forced executives to sever ties with the Emmy winner.
“She was a total embarrassment to the network that calls themselves ‘The Most Trusted Name in News.’ Even Anderson (Cooper, her co-host) thinks it’s time to say goodbye to Kathy,” says a network spy.
