12:05 am
>> larry: i want you to present it. you almost died from liposuction. >> i did. life is a process, i found. i prayed about it. >> larry: why do you keep praying? >> i just think it's funny that oprah prayed before her whitney houston interview. she was a little cracky. >> you did a nose job at 26. >> yeah, my first of two. i got two nose jobs, and i'm upset because i think my nose actually grew back to its original size. it's too big, but i can't get another one because i'm afraid it might just fall off like michael jackson and then i'll have a hole there. >> larry: what was the last thing you had done? >> the last thing i had done was dairk i've been off the junk for a while. probably botox, which really isn't surgery.

12:07 am
have done it. >> larry: you would tell other people don't do it? >> if you don't have to. you should never get surgery if you don't have to. >> larry: were you a funny teller? >> i was a terrible teller. i got fired from two banks. >> larry: fired for what? >> sometimes i gave money to people if i liked them. twice i gave someone $100. i didn't know there was this thing called counting at the end of the day. so i got fired because twice i gave away $100 to people. >> you binged and purged. what's your relationship with food today? >> it's iffy, meaning it's always a struggle to eat good food. i like things that are fried. i don't like salads and healthy things, so it's a vice to eat

kathy griffin wrote the official book.
12:11 am
there's a chapter about your late brother, kenny. you didn't have to write about him. >> it's a memoir, and the whole idea of this book is one that isn't on the d-list. my older brother kenny, he went to prison, he was a crackhead. >> you also said he was a pedophile. >> he was. he was never caught, though. when i was a little kid, i would be in my bed and he would creep in my bed. like little kid, under ten years old. >> larry: how old was he when he died? >> he lived to be around 60. so he lived a long life. he would come into my bed and whisper in my ear.
12:12 am
and then later on in life, i became estranged from him, and my dad actually confronted him one day and said, kathleen thinks you're a pedophile, that's why she's estranged from you. and his response to my dad is, well, i do what i do. >> larry: what does your mom think about you writing about him? >> all of us have lived this, so none of this is new to them, obviously. i think my mom and dad had a very difficult time with my brother kenny, as the whole family did. he was very influential to me, because when you have somebody like that in the house with that energy, it's really a big thing to deal with. and the thing that's been particularly tough on my mom, who is very strong, she's on the d-list and she's very funny and she's dealt with a lot of pain in her life. my father passed away a couple years ago, and my late brother
12:13 am
kenny actually physically died in her arms. he put our family through a lot. >> how many other siblings? >> there are three other siblings. my brother gary is an attorney, my sister has been teaching for decades, and they're all smart a and witty and great. >> larry: kenny was the oldest? >> he was the oldest. >> did you ever wonder why he was different? >> absolutely. my mom asked him sometime why he did that, and he said he had been the victim of a coach. also, this is so long ago. i mean, this is behavior i saw in him 40 years ago. it's almost like we didn't have that word then. >> larry: when your marriage broke up, you broke it on this show? >> yeah, i talked about it here. >> larry: you mention that in the book. you write, my ego couldn't take the spatter in the public, but
12:14 am
somehow kathy griffin drove her poor husband into the ground until he had to leave. was that hard to write? >> the whole thing was hard to write. i look back on my marriage and for a long time in the marriage, i was bliss ful fly happy, and then i think i found out the marriage wasn't what i thought and maybe my husband wasn't the guy i thought he was, and it made me question everything. everything. i was doing a reality show at the time, and how do you deal with it on a reality show that's really comedy driven. it all had to just sort of play out, some of it on camera, some of it off. >> larry: you have a tattoo wedding ring? >> i have a tattoo wedding ring and it won't come off. >> larry: where is it? >> right here. >> do you want to marry again? >> i don't think so. >> larry: don't you want children? >> no, i was always a career girl. although i might get married to
12:15 am
levi johnston. >> larry: did you read his piece in vanity magazine in very revealatory. >> you can't just make up words on the show. that isn't a word. >> larry: it reveals things. >> i'm in love with him. he is my lover and i'm in love with him. >> larry: you admit it. you've been to bed with him. kathy griffin can't get enough of kate gosselin, and she'll transform in front of our very eyes, coming up. i take a shortc? yeah, sure. ♪ i knew the subaru legacy was the smart choice... what i didn't expect... was the fun. the all-new subaru legacy. feel the love.

12:18 am
superstar. >> that's right. look at this mama's ass and look at the tummy tuck scars [ bleep ]. >> kathy griffin is kate gosselin. george sekay is john gosselin. "kate is enough," the kate gosselin story. >> larry: that was brilliant. kate got some advice from kathy griffin. she'll tell us what kate is doing now, what she's doing wrong and why kathy is considering john gosselin for her next boyfriend. that's next, stick around.
12:19 am
12:20 am
12:21 am
by>> larry: by the way, you'll love the index. the comment is about larry king's brother. what is your real opinion of kate gosselin? >> well, i love that show and i've been watching it since it was an innocent christian show about the christian couple who has their eight kids and they go to the church bake-off. now they don't mention the jesus so much since john gosselin has
12:22 am
taken every woman and kate gosselin turned rosy. >> larry: why do you like it? >> i know this is terrible and makes me a bad person, but i could watch somebody's marriage fall apart all day long. >> larry: what do you think about a tummy tuck? >> i think it's great. the kids should be there and they might have to be stitched down to their naughty parts because after all those kids, you got a needle and thread nearby. >> larry: john gave an interview the other day. here's an excerpt. >> i was abused. >> larry: what does that mean? >> i was verbally abused, i was beaten down. she used to hold our kids over me and say, don't spend time
12:23 am
with your mom, spend time with the kids. why can't i spend time with my mom and the kids? i'm not going back to that lifestyle. >> i can't believe i haven't slept with him. he's so my type and he doesn't know it yet. even chris como has exploded. he can't believe i said that. john gosselin for a comedian is kind of the gift that keeps on giving. >> larry: you would date him? >> i would sleep with him and kate in a three-way and tape it and send it to you. >> larry: and i would watch it. >> thank you. once you have that haircut who can't decide what it is, she doesn't know if she's a butch lesbian or more lipstick. >> larry: divorced dad's club starring john gosselin, michael
12:24 am
mo morehan and kay fetin. do you like the idea of being on a reality show? >> i like the idea of everybody being on a reality show. i forced my mom to be on my d-list. i'm like the stage mother to my mother. we violate all sorts of labor laws, i'm sure. but she's very funny and she delivers. >> larry: why is john gosselin your type? >> he's my type because he can get my picture on the cover of us magazine. in the way that lee johnson is my ty-- levi johnson is my type. >> we're going to get to levi johnson. >> she said, would you rather have sex with you or regis and i
12:25 am
picked you. >> larry: that was a question on the show? >> you don't watch tyra every day? >> no. i like her but -- >> the baby at daddy's house. i know. remember the female empowerment show? which was your favorite tyra, larry? >> larry: when she was on our show. she was a good guest. i think she's going to be back when we go to new york. >> you know you have to wear your real hair when tyra is here. tyra is all about keeping it real for the season. >> this is my real hair. stop it! >> take out your extensions and just be yourself, larry. >> larry: she actually asked if you preferred me to regis? >> honest to god, i picked you. now i'm in a fight with regis and regis doesn't even know it yet. >> larry: another emmy or her
12:26 am
bikini-baring body. after the break. within 15 minutes. that's important to me because i know the two medicines in symbicort are beginning to treat my symptoms and helping me take control of my asthma. and that makes symbicort a good choice for me. symbicort will not replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. and should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort contains formoterol. medicines like formoterol may increase the chance of asthma-related death. so, it is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on other asthma medicines. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. i know symbicort won't replace a rescue inhaler. within 15 minutes symbicort starts to improve my lung function and begins to treat my symptoms. that makes symbicort a good choice for me. you have choices. ask your doctor if symbicort is right for you. (announcer) if you cannot afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
12:27 am
12:28 am
>> so here's the plan. if she does anything like, you know, well, how can you say anything bad about these poor celebrities making a living, and the audience is like, boo. you have to cricket that.
12:29 am

12:30 am
can you call barbara walters for me? i was banned from "the view," and then i was let back in because my book was so riveting, and then i found out she's not going to be there that day. i know she's avoiding me. i know you can call her on judge judy's boat. i know you have those kinds of hookups, lar. >> larry: i do. but what do you care? she's good, but the show is the thing. >> i want you to call barbara and say, she's going to be a star, anyway. that would kill her. she would reach through the phone and slap you. on one of my specials i mentioned how backstage she made a joke that she likes to use
12:31 am
estroglide, which is a sexual l l lubricant. i like the idea of barbara walters getting laid and getting paid, old school. but can i tell you who is going to be the host that day? you ready? >> larry: yeah. >> la toya jackson. >> larry: the host? i just had dinner with her. >> what in the [ bleep ] am i going to talk to la toya about? she's had more dental work than me and joan rivers put together. >> larry: your competition for outstanding radio program is dirty jobs, the dog whisperer, intervention and myth busters. >> bust this myth, i'm winning. >> larry: who is the toughest of

12:33 am
>> you know before marie osmond comes in, you pray. >> larry: why would i? >> because you don't know if she's going to cry or -- can i pretend i'm chris brown and you ask me probing questions and i'm going to be a bad guest. okay, go ahead. >> larry: was it hard to write about plastic surgery? >> i don't know. >> larry: you're going to do another book? >> i don't know. can you believe that kid sitting here saying yes and no for an hour after beating the crap out of that poor girl? >> larry: we'll be right back. we'll talk about kathy's obsession with levi and oprah, next. i've been growing algae for 35 years. most people try to get rid of algae, and we're trying to grow it. the algae are very beautiful. they come in blue or red, golden, green.
12:34 am
algae could be converted into biofuels... that we could someday run our cars on. in using algae to form biofuels, we're not competing with the food supply. and they absorb co2, so they help solve the greenhouse problem, as well. we're making a big commitment to finding out... just how much algae can help to meet... the fuel demands of the world. you know why i sell tools? tools are uncomplicated? nothing complicated about a pair of 10 inch hose clamp pliers. you know what's complicated? shipping. shipping's complicated. not really. with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service shipping is easy. if it fits, it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that's not complicated. come on. how about...a handshake. alright. priority mail flat rate boxes only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. caused by a completely blocked artery, another heart attack could be lurking waiting to strike. a heart attack caused by a clot, one that could be fatal.
12:35 am
but plavix helps save lives. plavix taken with other heart medicines, goes beyond what other heart medicines do alone, to provide greater protection against heart attack or stroke and even death by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking together and form ask your doctor about plavix, protection that helps save lives. if you have a stomach ulcer or other condition that causes bleeding you should not use plavix. taking plavix alone or with some other medicines including aspirin may increase bleeding risk, tell your doctor before planning surgery or taking aspirin or other medicines with plavix, especially if you've had a stroke. some medicines that are used to treat heartburn or stomach ulcers, like prilosec, may affect how plavix works, so tell your doctor if you are taking other medicines. if fever, unexplained weakness or confusion develops, tell your doctor promptly. these may be signs of ttp, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition reported sometimes less than 2 weeks after starting plavix. other rare but serious side effects may occur. if you take plavix with other heart medicines, continuing to do so will help increase protection

12:38 am
>> plastic surgery. >> larry: someone should act? >> i think levi should pose for anyone that pays him, he's adorable and charming. you've had him here, he can talk and talk and talk. >> larry: he can? >> he has a lot of thoughts about health care reforms and global warming. i saw him at the conference. he was the keynote speaker. i do, i think he should pose naked whenever possible, and i want you to know that my relationship with him is legitimate and i'm pregnant nanwith levi johnson's baby. >> larry: he made another girl pregnant? >> which is weird, because i
12:39 am
thought i couldn't have any kids. >> larry: were you surprised what happened with his soon-to-be mother-in-law? >> no. >> larry: ellen degeneres is going to be on "american idol." >> weird. >> larry: paula abdul didn't say bad things, did she? >> paula abdul didn't know what she said, and she still doesn't. do you know what the word cognizant means? it doesn't apply to her. ellen is too lucid for that show. she better hit the bucket of klonopin right away. >> larry: is michael jackson bigger than he was? >> yes, he is bigger than he was. i cannot even get over your
12:40 am

12:41 am
network works. >> larry: do you think jay can beat csi miami? >> maybe. he's got jerry seinfeld. >> seinfeld, that's right. he could kill someone and then they could be like, who killed this person, and they could solve the crime. i'm just thinking outside my box. >> larry: more kathy griffin and our hero of the week, next.
12:42 am
12:43 am
>> larry: our hero of the week, and what a sdefrk odeserving on alex griffith. as an avid boy scout, he decided to use his eagle scout project to build and help russian children. so what is it you do, alex? how does it work? >> when you're a life scout in the boy scouts, you can start your eagle, and one of the requirements is eagle scouts for requirement number five would state develop and give leadership to a service project. >> larry: how do you get the money to them? >> i -- you do fund raising activities. >> larry: you're building a playground for children in russia. in moscow? >> right above the center of
12:44 am

12:48 am
>> larry: was that hard for you? >> i thought i was dying. if i can't talk about celebrities even for two or three minutes, i would get a panic attack and they would have to get a defibrilator. now that i'm going to marry levi johnston and i'm this close to living in the white house, i am against heterosexual marriage being legal. i want gay people to legally marry and straight people should go to jail if they marry. >> larry: what's the thinking in that? >> because i'm a smart, he hedud woman who knows what she wants, and that's what oprah told me on the phone last night when she said she chose me to be in her book club. >> larry: why do gays love you? >> i think gays love me because
12:49 am
i get them. i get them, i love them, i know them. >> larry: they have a different sexual preference -- >> they have an uphill battle. i readwrite a lot about this in book. it's about being a female comedian. the gay guys work harder than the next guy. we have that in common. >> larry: you can compare yourself to bette midler? >> icon. >> celine dion? >> eicon. >> larry: do you like cher? >> love cher. >> larry: you sell out in concerts, don't you?

12:51 am
meaning when you meet bill mar and he's the d word, it's really quite charming, but steve martin was just a d word. i wouldn't say he's a warm person, but my run-in with him was brief and treacherous. >> larry: he wrote a wonderfully sensitive book. how can you call him not sensitive? >> i would call him insensitive. i'm just saying when i met him, he was kind of a jerk. but i thought that about jerry seinfeld, and you know what, i was wrong. but i'm right about this. >> larry: what do you think about the congressman saying "you lie." >> this is great. obama is being heckled at clubs like i am. >> larry: it's not a club. you call that a club?
12:52 am

12:54 am

12:55 am
