"You know, you’re interrupting Judge Judy"

I was saddened this week to hear that Kathy Griffin's Dad passed away. Kathy is a very funny lady and I love listening to her comedy stand up where she skewers ridiculous celebrities in her inimitable manner. Gawd knows what she's currently saying about Britney and Anna Nicole!

On her webpage Kathy says: "Thank you for all of your lovely comments and inquiries about my Dad. He passed away last Saturday, February 17th at 2pm here in L.A. He had a very far reach in this world and is already missed by so many.

His ascerbic, rapier wit and true heart of gold made for a wonderful combination in a great man. He died from complications due to congestive heart failure AND multiple myeloma. Please keep my mom and my siblings in your thoughts and prayers. What can I say? I just loved him so much."

Here's a picture of Kathy and her Dad, from her hilarious Emmy nominated TV show, "My Life on the D-List".
