After being asked about the state of her relationship with Andy Cohen, Griffin said despite getting fired from Bravo, she did well while previously employed there.
“Now that's a tough one,” she began. “Like I said, he was my boss and I got canned. And I loved working at Bravo. I loved doing specials and I had a talk show there for two seasons. And My Life on the D-List was Emmy nominated every season and won twice.”
Still, she was honest about their differences: “I'm not his cup of tea."

Kathy Griffin, May 2024As she began to share her “pitch” for her version of the dating competition show, the podcast hosts joked that they weren’t sure her take would be “PG.”
“It's not,” Griffin admitted. “Okay, so the current one is great. I love her.”
“So Kathy Griffin's the Golden Bachelorette. The first episode where there's the most bachelors and the most roses, I f--- each one. Each one, and then I decide,” she said before pausing to make sure Newsom, 57, Lynch, 38, and Hendrickson were keeping up with her idea.
According to the actress, her show would be “ratings gold.”
Hendrickson, who works as a sports agent outside of Politickin', offered to be of some assistance.
“I know people at the Bachelor right, maybe we can make that happen,” he said.
Griffin filed for divorce from her husband Randy Bick after nearly four years of marriage in December 2023.
