Forget the Ball, Kathy Griffin Drops F-Bomb on New Year's Special

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 1st 2010 07:39AM

Never-subtle comedian Kathy Griffin stunned her TV co-host Anderson Cooper on CNN's New Year's Eve special by dropping something other than that famous Times Square ball: a certified F-Bomb.

While Griff and Coop were chatting about the top stories of the year and got to Falcon "Balloon Boy" Heene, the funnywoman decided to give viewers a present and fumble the kid's first name. Even though the CNN host had already said "Falcon" to her, Griffin asked: "Fal ... Fu--ing? Falcon? How do you say it?"

Cooper's response to Griffin? "You're terrible. Really terrible." Watch:

CNN released a statement Friday saying it "regrets that profanity was used during our New Year's Eve coverage."

Griffin followed with a snark-filled statement of her own: "Like every other serious reporter covering the now infamous balloon boy hoax, I struggled to pronounce his name 'Falcon' correctly and have gotten a kick out of how many ways I've heard it pronounced by other serious reporters. Just add me to that list and happy new year!"

I agree with you. She makes me sick to my stomach. Someone needs to take her out back and get rid of her!!

By Wish Belkin

Profanity in lieu of talent.
A failing gameplan for generations.

By ken

you are right no talent .no manners a typical ass.

By Sue

Kathy is a no class foul mouthed D lister...

By poo

I totally agree, she is the most disgusting woman I have ever seen, has absolutely no class at all and I feel sorry for Anderson Cooper being stuck with her every year.

By june ritchie

I so agree!!! She is a disgrace to public TV and to try to degrade a man as smart and intelligent as Anderson Cooper is an abomination to CNN. She adds nothing to the evening's festivities but her foul mouth. The American public does not want or need this inflamatory language to be excited and enjoy the New Year's Celebration. Please, CNN, don't make the mistake of having her on your programs for the new year. j.

I love her she is funny ... and if you dont like her then obviously she is NOT HERE FOR YOU!!

By Elaine

I agree. She has no talent. Dropping the f bomb seems to be all she knows. AS funny as watching paint dry.

By Janbo

She has no fear of God.

By Tim G

Boy, I had to turn her off last night and watch the other two major networks covering Times Square. She is a loud, foul mouthed no brainer show off.
How does she stay on the air???????

By caroledelm

Griffin is a low-class mediocre talent who has to use such tricks to get attention. She's crass. Wanda Sykes gets "blue", but she's intelligent, clever & engaging. Big difference.

By Frank

Drop dead you piece of crap!!!!

By basbleu

Why does Cooper team up with the foulmouth? I switched to another channel when I listened to 10 minutes of Kathy whats her name tirade of idiocy. I refuse to have a moton ring in the new year for me, sorry Anderson but you need to pick a better co pilot !

By Connie Ronrad

Hell that's why I like her she's Politically N Correct as me...lol..It's like buying tities...it's not for everyone:)

By memyselfnoo7

SHE IS SUCH A LOW CLASS SKANK D-LISTER
