The thing that’s most impressive about Kathy as a comic is that she literally can come up with an hour of comedy on the spot. Most comedians have to work for months if not years to come up with an hour show. Kathy is just NATURALLY funny and can have hours worth of content easily
I think their both funny In their own ways but i don't get why ellen expects every comedian to be pg like her like ellen that's your thing and that's fine but let other comedians do it their way
Lif Da Ellen is like the jlaw of talk shows tries to be so cool and liked by everyone. Idk why she praises the kardashians so much at least Kathy has talent
Ellen out classed and witted here. As a Vet, when Kathy offers, "You should go entertain the troops, they'd love you." Ellen replies, "I know, but I'm too busy." Bwahahahahaha in light of the news about her "not so nice" self...yeah..she probably has some time now.
It was either Kathy or Joan Rivers who said this the best "If you're making millions of dollars a film, music or a talk show, you should be able to take a joke." I like Ellen, but being Ms. Goodie to Shoes 24/7 is annoying. Comedians like Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, George Lopez is my type of comedy.
I know too many celebrities are afraid of KG for this to happen, but would anyone else love to see them give her Ellen's show? Can you imagine the look on her face? 😂
i was so nervous for Kathy.. You could tell that Ellen made her feel uncomfortable... But thats why we love Kathy, She is Smart, quick and hilarious!! XD
I really like what kathy said here about how she doesn't make fun of anything that isn't out of a person's control.. just the ridiculous behaviors that celebrities have and the choices they make. I love Ellen and I guess I'm surprised that she wouldn't comedically be able to be more understanding about that. Also, considering ellen made fun of Liza at the oscars for her personal appearance.. I mean that was "mean spirited" and a low blow. Hopefully this ban has been lifted or fences mended by now.
Kathy does not get enough credit! She makes fun of celebrities what they do in public, witnessed by many people, the ridiculous things they do, NOT things people tell Kathy in private! There is a BIG difference!
@@omarhalimi1685 Well I made that comment 9 years ago. Since then I lost respect for Kathy after that picture. It’s disgusting and no matter how much you hate someone, you don’t depict their slaughtering. It’s disgusting when Kathy did it, still disgusting when Kanye did it. Kathy with her stupid ignorance didn’t think of all those mothers who actually saw similar pictures with their son’s actual heads on it! It’s not art, it’s disgusting from Kathy do agree for that. After saw her show and it was nothing just a pity party , hated it so much I wish I would have gotten my money back. I still enjoy her old stuff , but noting since.
Kathy Griffin has been banned from the Ellen show because Ellen considers Kathy too mean spirited. That seems very hypocritical when Ellen basically said that Liza Minelli looked like a "drag queen" at the 2014 Oscar Show. She not only said it to her face ("bad manners" according to Kathy) but in front of billions of péople watching worldwide. Kathy has always treated Liza with the deference which an icon deserves, except if she does something stupid by marrying two obviously gay husbands, Peter Allen and David Gest. Even Liza admitedly that was dumb on the Larry King Show.
I just saw Kathy's stand up the other night and she BASHED Ellen, and I didn't really get why. BUT now I do, I think Ellen is jealous. Why would she agree to have Kathy on and then treat her like this.
I'LL TELL YOU WHY - CUZ ELLEN ISN'T FUNNY. AT ALL. HER JOKES ARE INCREDIBLY LAME AND CHEESY. KATHY IS GENUINELY FUNNY AND PUSHES THE ENVELOPE ALL THE TIME.
Dharmabum9287 You make a lot of good points but saying Kathy can’t be fired doing stand-up? After the trump head thing she lost all her stand-up gigs. She’s still recovering, professionally speaking.
rgrndu I think it might have harmed her in the short term but it was a good marketing move, she’ll be fine, more people have heard/been reminded of her now.
@@rgrndu That was half of one tour because of triggered idiots death threats at her remaining dates, then after her ridiculous "travel ban" was lifted a couple months later, she booked another 23 cities internationally, sold many of those cities out and all in all grossed another 1.1 million dollars, so she has no problem succeeding as a standup.
Kathy is a classic iconoclast. She's not mean. She's holding a mirror up to some of the most arrogant people on earth. She reminds them and us that they're human. Kathy is awesome. I hope she keeps making us laugh for years and years. Ellen, I love you too, but get off of Kathy's case.
Kathy’s jokes might be mean spirited, but at least it shows honesty. Ellen is two faced and would rather be a monster behind the scenes so her ego is protected. I always liked both of them, but as I am older I see through Ellen and Kathy seems pretty straight forward.
Ellen is so bland and prudish. A terrible interviewer. She thinks just by complimenting the guests and being "nice" will make a good interview. It's sad that all my gay friends would prefer to hang out with Kathy then Ellen...an actual gay person LOL yet all our Moms think Ellen is "cool".
I don't know, but Ellen is a bit of a bitch to some of her guests, especially the guests she doesn't want on her show, like Kathy, Wendy Williams and Joan Rivers.
you can just see it in the body language. ellen was overcompensating. she was intimidated. this entire interview was her trying to take little jabs at kathy.
I love Ellen, and I love Kathy. They’re both very intelligent and talented women. I think they both have so much to offer the world, and comedy needs them both. Their styles are very different, but there’s no reason they can’t exist alongside each other.
Oh the irony, Kathy’s routine was all about skewering pop culture and the cult of celebrity whilst she did philanthropic work behind the scenes. Ellen took this as her being “mean spirited”, all the while she was being awful to people behind the scenes. I guess it’s only “mean spirited” when directed at celebrities.
I love them both but I was a bit surprised how awkward this interview was.. I loved how Kathy handled her self and was still her self.. Ellen came off as some what rude.. Definitely was not what I was expecting when I clicked on the video.. I was expecting to dying with laughter at the both of them ...
I LOVE IT how Kathy is all restrained (knowing she could be ousted from the show at any minute) until Ellen says "Go ahead" and it's like Kathy's real side emerges. Like a tiger out of a cage, LOL
I kind of dont know what to think about Ellen anymore. Like Kathy promotes gay rights, yet she cares more about her show to have Kathy banned like wtf.
........you can tell that Kathy is genuinely happy to be on Ellen`s show, and as interview is progressing, Ellen seems to be more and more condescending towards Kathy.....Kathy handled herself (and Ellen) masterfully....ironically, Ellen is still that little kid that wants to be part of Kathy`s family.....
Ellen is against making fun of celebrities because she wants to be friends with all of them. Kathy doesn't give AF. She just wants to make the audience laugh.
How many times in this interview did Ellen make s point of saying she's not mean? Number one, its a passive/aggressive way of making herself sound like she's a better person than Kathy. And number two, we now know all about how nasty she is and how toxic it was for the people stuck working for her. She's a phony, Kathy is authentic.
I think Ellen wasn't being self-righteous at all. She asked a perfectly reasonable question to Kathy. The same way Kathy bashes celebrities to remind us we're all the same, Ellen is kind to them to remind us that they also have feelings. Neither of them has the almighty perfect type of comedy, but they both make a great point. Ellen had every right to ask her what she felt, and she was kind in doing it, so hats off to both of them.
You'd think a comedian like Ellen would like Kathy. She always acts so sweet to celebrities no one likes! Even people on RUclips. Just because Kathy has a different sense of humor than you doesn't mean you can't enjoy her.
Ellen was so against “being mean” and then it came out years later what a mean person she is off camera. Usually is those types of people who claim to be against bullying and stuff and that are the worst people. And when the one person pops up in the photos Ellen doesn’t like, then it’s ok to make fun of him 🙄
This is when I started to see who the real Ellen was. I supported her from 1988 until this interview. Have you ever seen Kathy on here again? Rosie O'Donnell? Rita Rudner? Joan Rivers once....
i think people need griffin. she's not afraid to say anything, and she's telling people not to take themselves so seriously. and that's an important lesson to learn in life. if you stop functioning for years every time someone criticized you, where would you go in life?
Why does Ellen care about what kind of humor Kathy has? Obviously people find it funny. Not everybody has the same sense of humor. Kathy is a comedian. As a fellow comedian Ellen should respect that.
I love Ellen and I definately LOVE Kathy, Ellen just wants to make sure she doesn't offend anyone, and I respect that about her. Kathy made a living off of making fun of celebs and that's awesome! Both of them are excelent comedians, but for different reasons. Both are okay in my book.
The thing that’s most impressive about Kathy as a comic is that she literally can come up with an hour of comedy on the spot. Most comedians have to work for months if not years to come up with an hour show. Kathy is just NATURALLY funny and can have hours worth of content easily
She is seriously on the same level as Joan Rivers, Don Rickles, and Groucho Marx.
Just naturally funny.
Kathy is so verbally honest that fake nice people are appalled. Her warmth and self deprecation are a mark of how genuine she is.
💯
So this is why KG wasn't on Ellen , because she is funnier than Ellen
No way...Ellen's call to God brilliant bit...
I think their both funny In their own ways but i don't get why ellen expects every comedian to be pg like her like ellen that's your thing and that's fine but let other comedians do it their way
BINGO
99% OF COMEDIANS ARE FUNNIER THAN ELLEN.
You nailed it
Kathy - * breathes *
Ellen - “I’M NICE, YOU’RE NOT”
"LOOK HOW NICE I AM GUYS"
Kathy is a million times funnier than Ellen. Just an all around better comedian.
Kathy was definitely Right about Ellen.. just took years later to all come to fruition.
I was a bit surprised how Ellen was openly being some what rude....It was very awkward actually.. Kathy wrote about it in her book...
Ellen, supposedly a "Comedian" is telling another comedian NOT to make fun of people....self righteous much??
👏👏👏
did you hear about the recent accusations
Ellen unfortunately has an air of superiority.
Yet Ellen had made fun of ordinary people live on her show for years and got away with it.
Ellen doesn't like competition and everyone knows that Kathy's WAY funnier than her.
Lif Da Ellen is like the jlaw of talk shows tries to be so cool and liked by everyone. Idk why she praises the kardashians so much at least Kathy has talent
Toni true! Ellen is not funny
@@ToniCarrington 👍👍👍
No, her humor is 100% true. People are just SO sensitive that they can not take a joke.
Noah Norton
Celebrities are so very insecure.
And take themselves far too seriously.
Ellen out classed and witted here. As a Vet, when Kathy offers, "You should go entertain the troops, they'd love you." Ellen replies, "I know, but I'm too busy." Bwahahahahaha in light of the news about her "not so nice" self...yeah..she probably has some time now.
Ellen is awkward to watch when the guest is funnier than her, lol
Zack she laughs a lot when Wanda Sykes is on...
I think Ellen gets jealous of women who are funnier than she is
Ellen has a way of making female comics "disappear." That is why there is so few of them.
Exactly so sad
@@danemartin7137 totally sad
her producers even tells audience members: don't be funnier than Ellen
@@akastardust wow really. ? That is pathetic I’ve never really found Ellen very funny she has her moments but her comedy is very one note
It was either Kathy or Joan Rivers who said this the best "If you're making millions of dollars a film, music or a talk show, you should be able to take a joke."
I like Ellen, but being Ms. Goodie to Shoes 24/7 is annoying.
Comedians like Kathy Griffin, Joan Rivers, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, George Lopez is my type of comedy.
Ellen is for the industry, Kathy is for the people
Edit: In light of recent news, this interview seems so much more relevant.
HELL YES
Right on!!
Everyone crucified KG over her comments about Ellen and now everyone is agreeing with her.
@@reneephillips6356 Exactly!
I know too many celebrities are afraid of KG for this to happen, but would anyone else love to see them give her Ellen's show? Can you imagine the look on her face? 😂

houseMDenthusiast nope!!!! Ellen still hates Kathy. Most women won't support each other
It's worse now because of how poorly Ellen treated Joan rivers death. Ellen wouldn't even do a rest in peace moment for Joan when Kathy asked
@@Remy.elmo1 where can I read this or see it? What exactly happened?
Kathy does not get enough credit!
She makes fun of celebrities what they do in public, witnessed by many people, the ridiculous things they do, NOT things people tell Kathy in private! There is a BIG difference!
DavidVarkonyi rubbish. She included Brooke shields wedding intimate details and made open fun of it.
Uhhh.... astroglide lol
I believe she will get one day. I learned from Joan, never stop and I think she learned too.
@@omarhalimi1685 Well I made that comment 9 years ago. Since then I lost respect for Kathy after that picture. It’s disgusting and no matter how much you hate someone, you don’t depict their slaughtering. It’s disgusting when Kathy did it, still disgusting when Kanye did it.
Kathy with her stupid ignorance didn’t think of all those mothers who actually saw similar pictures with their son’s actual heads on it!
It’s not art, it’s disgusting from Kathy do agree for that.
After saw her show and it was nothing just a pity party , hated it so much I wish I would have gotten my money back.
I still enjoy her old stuff , but noting since.
@@LondonSambaDancerBellydancer It was hardly an “intimate” wedding when there were loads of guests and I saw coverage of it in newspapers at the time.
Kathy Griffin had the success in comedy that Ellen always wanted but never got.
NICCCE! TOTALLY AGREE! how ellen has a career is beyond me
the Joan Rivers on Ellen video is back also. WTF why were they missing on YT for the longest time and who is in charge of all that? Ellen?!
Yeah Ellen isn’t as funny she’s a host more than comedian
Wrong
@@scouser2010ify - ellen's earlier stand up stuff is light years ahead of most other's acts, let alone griffin's.

Ramon Flesvig she spat all over Portia de Rossi at some point
London Belly dancer Hire samba dancer Wedding Entertainment Sandrine
Wat did she say about portia ? WHAT Happened?
And 5 years later she brings Kevin Hart on her show praising him.
And 6 years later Ellen's proven to be the real meanie in the story.
Kathy handled Ellen's slightly veiled insults with ease.
ellen says kathy is mean spirited pot kettle
I just saw Kathy's stand up the other night and she BASHED Ellen, and I didn't really get why. BUT now I do, I think Ellen is jealous. Why would she agree to have Kathy on and then treat her like this.

KATHY IS RUNNING CIRCLES AROUND ELLEN OMG
Kathy doesn't say anything we all aren't thinking & that isn't true.

Exactly.
Ellen I love you, but holy crap this is Real life and Kathy Griffin is just makin fun of stuck-up ppl or their behaviour. Ease off dear!

At the end Ellen whispered to Kathy "Oh by the way, you're NEVER coming back on my show".

I don't know, but Ellen is a bit of a bitch to some of her guests, especially the guests she doesn't want on her show, like Kathy, Wendy Williams and Joan Rivers.
Maxence. Don't forget Rupaul. She seemed uncomforable interview ing him.
@@mavricksone Im surprised Ellen ever had Wendy Williams on in the first place. She outted Portia before she was with Ellen
"If I HAD time to go..." wth is she implying "oh I'm too busy to care"
That comment irked me
@@jtarantula3390 right?!
Kathy was great in this interview!!!!
Ohhhhh Kathy freaking OWNED Ellen. Ellen kept trying to put her in her "place" and Kathy wasnt having it.
You can tell Kathy and Ellen really are good funny people Like Kathy Said "I don't make fun of people for what they Are, but what they do " Perfect !
this is so great, the 2 best and funniest comedians to date in the same room! hope she comes bk on ellen again soon!
i just find it funny that ellens audience is cracking up at Kathy Griffin.
I'm desperate to know what they were saying to each other during the commercial break.
Kathy Griffin has had to play that "Compliment people" game, twice. See Queen Latifah show.
Ellen on her high horse. The tables have turned lolol
Oh man, I really love both Ellen and Kathy... but yeah I wish Kathy would be allowed to come back on Ellen again. Those two are masterful

kathy griffin needs her own talk show
I really think both of them are very funny!!!! Kathy and Ellen are truly my favorite comedians
Years of loving Kathy is the real deal
I know this was posted in 2008 but the video quality takes me back to 1998 and RealPlayer

Ellen is jealous because Kathy and Joan are funnier than she'll ever be.
Every comment from Ellen seems so passive aggressive. She can’t hide her contempt for Kathy 🤨
Ironic now because of articles coming out saying how mean Ellen is to her staff.

Love you so much Kathy.

Oh how the tables have turned Ellen the mean girl
Kathy was banned from Ellen ' s show after this interview.
This is when I started to see who the real Ellen was. I supported her from 1988 until this interview. Have you ever seen Kathy on here again? Rosie O'Donnell? Rita Rudner? Joan Rivers once....
kathy was on point this interview. one of her best.
Was this the episode that got her banned?
I was wondering that, too. I'm guessing it was.
YES IT WAS
She also made lots of fun about Portia de Rossi at some point.
London Belly dancer Hire samba dancer Wedding Entertainment Sandrine Is she banned from ellens show ???
Yea she is. She(Kathy) wrote about it in her book.
i think people need griffin. she's not afraid to say anything, and she's telling people not to take themselves so seriously. and that's an important lesson to learn in life. if you stop functioning for years every time someone criticized you, where would you go in life?
Kathy is freaking amazing and true!
I love this clip because...a smat woman takes on a rich woman. Kathy 1, Ellen zero.
Ellen, I'm going to hold up pictures of your former staff and want you to say something nice about them.
Wow that's such a great way to put it! Couldn't have said it better myself.
Ellen is trying to school Kathy on kindness, but oops....... #karma
Why does Ellen care about what kind of humor Kathy has? Obviously people find it funny. Not everybody has the same sense of humor. Kathy is a comedian. As a fellow comedian Ellen should respect that.
Turns out Ellen is the mean one
This was EPIC!
what was wrong with ellen in this? I love Kathy. She's hilarious
7:31 is where you can see the interview shift. Kathy was smiling and having fun then Ellen ruins the moment
It’s obvious that they don’t like each other.
Robbie Phillips women supporting women. why is that such a difficult concept to understand? smh
heyy do you have part two please???????????
I love Ellen and I definately LOVE Kathy, Ellen just wants to make sure she doesn't offend anyone, and I respect that about her. Kathy made a living off of making fun of celebs and that's awesome! Both of them are excelent comedians, but for different reasons. Both are okay in my book.
thank you for your assistance.
does anyone have a link to the last part- the *nice* part?!? cant find it anywhere, this part isnt even on ellens website :(
