Kathy Griffin Skips Joan Rivers Tribute While Comedy’s Biggest Names Show Up to Honor the Legend
Comic Kathy Griffin didn’t join NBC’s Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute to honor her trailblazing friend, who passed away in 2014 — but sources say the apparent snub is not surprising.
Melissa Rivers — Joan’s daughter, who became Kathy’s costar when she took the late legend’s place on Fashion Police — exclusively tells Straight Shuter, “Kathy was asked to be part of this show, but unfortunately had a scheduling conflict.”
Yet, a production source says, “Everyone else made the time. Tiffany Haddish, Sarah Silverman, Margaret Cho — even Nikki Glaser, who is booked around the clock. Kathy didn’t.”
A longtime Rivers family friend says, “Kathy always said Joan was her mentor, but when it counted most — when Joan needed support or celebration — she disappeared.”
