I just saw the appearance on the net tonight and MY GOD! Howard asks her about her and Matt, okay, I can see why he would.. She says she doesn't wanna talk about it but he just keeps BUGGING HER! And he gets more and more personal about it as she keeps saying that she'd rather discuss it another time! She could have just said "None of your damn business" but she threw him a bone and said "I don't wanna talk about it now, but I WILL come back and talk about it." That's cool of her, because she totally didn't even have to give him that, but that didn't even shut him up about it for a second! I felt so bad for her! And she kept trying to get Howard to take a hint by saying "Well when you and your wife split you didn't wanna talk about it, and neither do I."
I get that Howard's job is to make "quality" radio but that is a private matter and he should have done the right thing and respected her the first time she said she didn't care to discuss it and moved on. I mean, it's Kathy Griffin. You don't have to talk about sore subjects with her to make "good radio." Just let her talk. About anything! She has topics! She's not gonna let you down! Especially when she doesn't have to worry about editing herself!
I've never liked Howard Stern and this is just one of the reasons why. The only reason I saw the vid is because Kathy was on.
All that being said, I think she was very kind and she handled it very well. Kudos to her for that.
