Well, she made it without cursing on camera, anyway! After she dropped an F-bomb during last year's New Year's Eve broadcast with co-host Anderson Cooper, Kathy Griffin rang in the new year by celebrating her survival of what she deemed 'Yank Watch 2011' -- as CNN reportedly welcomed her back for a return engagement only under the condition that she watch her language, or be literally pulled off the air this time, if she slipped up.But while she cleaned up her act for her fourth live stint broadcasting with Cooper from New York's Times Square, Griffin was still as ridiculously unprofessional as ever with her silver-haired anchor pal: Throwing his fancy new glasses into the crowd, punching him in the stomach, chiding him for his "so predictable" Ralph Lauren wardrobe, making out with a producer while he talked, and attempting to undress him as the countdown to midnight neared.
The controversial comic also lobbed some grandiose fibs to viewers (Griffin: "Katy Perry, performing next!" Cooper: "No, no, she's not."). The redhead even tried to incite a faux frenzy by promising "Justin Bieber Live!" right after the ball dropped, and right before a commercial, with no time for her CNN co-host to correct her.
After the jump, check out a clip of Griffin and Cooper's broadcast, including the Times Square 'Auld Lang Syne' at midnight, and a spectacular fireworks display heralding the new year in Dubai.

why does this ho-bag still have any kind of career?? CNN looks incredibly foolish for continuing to pay her to be an idiot. Someone make her go away, please!

Ted you're the idiot.So you go away and keep your pie hole shut!!!
next yr get margret choo!
She keeps getting hired because she is funny.
I must agree with Ted, she is not funny, she is crude, has no social graces, she makes a mockery of the intellectual level that Anderson Cooper tries to set no matter what he is broadcasting on.....Haiti, Afghanistan, etc. I think CNN does itself a major disservice by having her and her smut on. Highly disappointing.
Could not agree with you more.
Wanna know wher e people go to sn ag an i-nter-racial rel-ations-hip, say, Just for future reference? “i-nterr-acial Central”? “San Carlos” ? or “San Francisco”?*** Bl ackwhi teCu pid C 0/om *** is the real pl ace that is packed with them. ;)

Sounds like you're bitter because you're NOT getting paid to be an idiot!
You are correct, Kathy what? It reflects baddly on whomever is paying her anything, just that they support animal abuse. There is a phrase that applies to this ho: "If you don't feed it, it will go away." She craves the attention.
She couldn't be any more painful to listen to than Anderson Cooper.
Love kathy and new years! She was great again

She's a friggin skank. Not funny in any way... other than her looks.
LOUD MOUTH , INSECURE , TARSHY WORDS , FAKE , AND NOT FUN TO WATCH , AND KNOCKS OUR SAVIOR NOT COOL !!
You must either be as evil as Kathy or certifiably insane.
EXACTLY, Ted. I certainly hope CNN paid AC a TON o' money to spend time with that idiot. I cannot stand her! I don't think she is funny at all. It was painful to watch the show, but we suffered thru the last 15-20 min, just to see the ball drop.

I wouldn't and didn't suffer through a second to watch just because she was on it. Would have probably watched otherwise.
She's a Skank and Frank YOUR THE IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfully, we made it through New Year's Eve without watching!

I've watched these two on New Year's for the past few years. I enjoyed their broadcast and seeing Anderson laugh at his co-host. As far as being 'unprofessional,' she was hired because of her act. It would have been such a boring show if the hosts just stood there making small talk. Happy New Year everyone!
