On Jay Leno last night, comic/actress, Kathy Griffin, announced that Bette Midler would be on the season opener of her show, Kathy Griffin: My Life On The D-List. Ms. Griffin is changing the show up a bit….according to her it will be a hybrid of a talk show and reality show….so she will be interviewing Bette….cool, eh? (Thanks to Chef Bev for the information.)
You just signed for a fifth year with Bravo. Why is it always a one-year contract?
(Laughs) Oh gosh, what can I say about my family at NBC-Universal? And we are like family over there. The “D-List” will be a little different this season. It’s going to be more celebrity oriented. It’s going to lean toward a field talk show but still have the elements of the “D-List” you love. In other words, every episode will have my mother drinking a box of wine.
Will every episode have celebrities you really admire?
Well, I have on one episode a celebrity named Bette (expletive) Midler. How about that?
