Kathy Griffin

I've always been a big fan of Kathy Griffin's, and I was tickled to get a chance to talk to her about her book, "Official Book Club Selection." Kathy’s usually so hysterically abrasive that I was surprised at her gentle, conversational tone and her genuine surprise that I had actually read her book. The book is terrific, a must read for any Kathy Griffin fan. Her survival instinct is inspirational!
