Comedy -Gentiles and TV stars Kathy Griffin and Ellen DeGeneres don’t like each other.
Griffin says she sees degeneres as “very funny,” seems to respect the former host of the talk show about his professional chops. But that’s where the praise ends.
Griffin opened for the long -standing row in a video For his YouTube channel, where he went back and looked at their first run in the 1990s.
“I have an epic hatred of her,” she said in the video, published on Wednesday, April 1. “I know a lot of it is jealous. I get it. It’s a more successful way than I will ever have.”
“You are welcome, Ellen,” he continued. “That’s a way nicer than anything you’ve ever said about me or will ever be.”
Both have had more running in over the years, including a dispute over Griffin’s status on Ellen degeneres show and an argument following death Joan Rivers.

1996
As Griffin explained, she started the trouble when she starred a guest on the 1990s sitting comedy in the future, Elevate. Degeneres entered the board read for her chapter and recognized Griffin of commercials she had recently made for Kenmore Stereos.
In the ad, Griffin reported the words to Wild Cherry’s “Play That Funky Music” in an undergaritated Deadpan way. DeGeneres insisted that she will do it again at the board read.
“He was a little away. He was not said with a fun spirit, as,” described Griffin. “If that were me and I was the star of the show, I wouldn’t do that for someone who is like the day player … I felt she said ‘dance, b ****, dance.”
Ultimately, Griffin recounted the words, only the joke did not work without her dress and her dancers. The rest of the cast and crew, some of them who had not seen the ad, were sitting aside in awkward silence.
“You could hear a pin fall because I felt the rest of the room was going, I don’t get what’s so special about this,” he said. “(Ellen) Then also kind of look at me, ‘What are you doing?’”
“If you know her, that’s like who she is,” Griffin concluded. “She was never friendly after that. He was just rough.”
2007
In an interview in March 2007 with W Magazine, Griffin’s assertion degeneres denied that the comedian was banned from his talk show.
“I know she has a big thing about wanting to be on the show, and we didn’t order it,” he said. “She did a whole thing I banned from the show. I didn’t ban her from the show, because first you have to be on the show to be banned.”
Eventually, Griffin got on the show later that year, but called it “mean” during his opening monologue. Griffin said later She felt she was betrayed.
“I was in the dressing room like, ‘S ** t! You’re another female comic, C’mon!'” He told us Weekly at the time.
Millions of people tuned into the Ellen DeGeneres show every day to watch Ellen DeGeneres present funny monologues about current events, interview celebrities of all backgrounds and play playing games with her studio audience. But the stand-up comedian is no stranger to arguing. Two decades after launching her career, degeneres broke through in (…)
2014
Degeneres never liked comedy brand Joan Rivers, according to Griffin, because she felt the late comic was “too tasteless.” When rivers died in 2014, Griffin extended to degeneres Hope to be helped to get tribute.
“I called her and I said, ‘Look, a woman to a female, a comic to a comic, I think you need to drop your hatred towards Joan Rivers. She’s dead, just made a tribute to -drawing, being cool,'” Griffin explained in a story in 2018 for variety.
When Deireres refused, he allegedly said, “There is a difference between mean and funny,” Griffin fired back.
“That f *** ing me agitated,” he said. “So we had a battle where I used inflammatory words like, ‘Look you f *** ing hac unalentent.’ … You know when you are fighting with someone and you can laugh at a point? Yes, not that day.
Griffin claims she later reached out to degeneres to apologize but received no response.
2016
Griffin published her book, Running in Celebrities: My AZ Index In 2016 and included a story that seemed to relate to degeneres kicking it out of a dressing room in the Emmys.
“I’m almost positive in the host of a dear talk show during the day once I kicked out of a backstage dressing room at the Emmy Awards.” He wrote: “I can’t experience it, but this person, who has short yellow hair, has a mean streak that all Hollywood knows.”
Later, Griffin told the Hollywood reporter That annoying degeneres calls it after the book was published.
“The only angry call I got was Ellen DeGeneres, who, incidentally, is not fun to have when you are like a female comic who loves her and her successes,” she said in an interview in December 2016.
“We kind of got into it, and I’m not going to lie, after I hung up, I sobered like a baby,” he admitted. “I admire her and, you know, it was a difficult conversation. But hey, he came with the territory.”
