S1E16 - Worker's Month 2025 TV Spotlight: Kathy Griffin - My Life on the D-List (2005-2010) (AI HOSTS!)


Listen Later

This week’s TV Spotlight turns the lens on the fiery, foul-mouthed proletarian queen of Hollywood herself—Kathy Griffin.

In My Life on the D-List, Griffin doesn’t just pull back the curtain on fame—she shreds it, sets it on fire, and sells the ashes for charity. What looks like a reality comedy show is, on closer inspection, a pointed critique of class, labor, and gender within the fame economy. It’s performance art disguised as Bravo trash. And it’s exactly the kind of working-class revolt we celebrate during International Workers Month.

We dive into her struggle for respect, the emotional cost of self-branding, and how she weaponized irrelevance to build a career on her own terms—outside the A-List, but never beneath it.
