Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List Season One

Every Episode of the Outrageous First Season Plus the Comedian's Side-Splitting HBO Special - Available on DVD June 12, 2007 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment

'Ms. Griffin is a lone, hilarious truth teller, a satiric innovator who seeks to remove the high-gloss of fame, since it never quite applies to her.' - Ned Martel, The New York Times

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., June 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Anyone who has ever longed to step out with the Hollywood in-crowd (and who hasn't?) will be glued to the screen when Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List: Season One makes a grand entrance on DVD on June 12, 2007 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The two-disc set includes the entire first season of the Bravo smash series Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, as well as her outrageously funny HBO special, "Kathy Griffin Is... Not Nicole Kidman," and a sneak peek at Season Two. Griffin unleashes her rapier wit as she deconstructs some of the entertainment business' mightiest myths and legends, and gives viewers an intimate look at Hollywood behind the scenes. The hugely successful television series, nominated for an Emmy(R) Award as Outstanding Reality Series, reveals the highs and lows of a D-list celebrity's life, and demonstrates why EW.com says "She's A-List when it comes to making us laugh." Fans will be thrilled and entertained to watch as America's favorite D-List comedian takes her parents, John and Maggie, husband, Matthew Moline, and best friends, Tony Tripoli and Dennis Hensley, on a series of adventures designed to maximize her own publicity quotient.

Each episode is a half hour of Griffin's unique stand-up comedy style, whether she's attempting to design an "A-List" home (and score the requisite free furniture), organize a fundraiser or work on her act. As she hits the mean streets of Beverly Hills armed only with her humor, Griffin clearly has as much fun as any A-lister around. This highly collectible two-disc DVD set is priced at $29.98 SRP. Preorder close is May 8, 2007.

SYNOPSIS

Kathy Griffin keeps the laughs coming with her over-the-top antics in Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. Hollywood may try to relegate Griffin to the D-list, but as the first season of her Emmy(R) nominated, laugh-out-loud funny reality series proves, her comedy skills are second to none. While taking viewers on an exclusive tour of her Hollywood, the uninhibited comedienne sends up the celebrity scene and slaughters entertainment industry sacred cows. The self-deprecating Griffin hobnobs with stars including Warren Beatty, Marcia Cross, John C. Reilly, Ray Romano, Caroline Rhea and Jenny McCarthy. The two-disc set also features her hit HBO special "Kathy Griffin Is... Not Nicole Kidman" and a sneak peek at Season Two of the show Newsweek anointed "a subculture sensation" and the Boston Herald called "positively hilarious."
