Kathy Griffin's Mom's Ghost Haunts The View

0:00It's April 24th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Kathy Griffin hit the view to plug her new face, new tour, and drops in gems about her late mom, Maggie. Maggie, who passed in 2020 at 99, was always on her case for getting snippy with Barbara Walters back in the day. Griffin said her mom would straight up yell at her after every appearance. Maggie popped up a bunch on Kathy's old reality show, My Life on the D-List, and even showed up at the view tapings herself. Griffin cracked that her mom once wanted to mail Walters an apology card, calling her the rudest guest ever. The hosts were cracking up at the stories. It's wild how these family moments still fuel Griffin's comedy, even six years after Maggie's gone. Walters passed in 2022, but the tension lingered in Griffin's bits. His love how she keeps her mom's no nonsense vibe alive on stage. Griffin also spilled on turning down a permanent co-host gig on the view, years back.

1:04She told her agent to cut the auditions and make a real offer, but Walters wasn't thrilled, and they didn't budge a dime. That beef became primaterial too. Griffin's tour is hitting city's nationwide right now, blending fresh takes on her wildlife. Catch the view weekdays on ABC if you're tuned in for more of that daytime drama.
