Kathy Griffin (born November 4, 1966 in Oak Park,
Illinois) is a stand-up comedy|comedienne whose
career took off in the early 1990s amongst
counterparts like Janeane Garofalo and David
Cross. 

At a time when comedy was turning from punch-line
oriented joke-telling to humorous
social-commentary and satire, Griffin's wry
observations about celebrity culture and fame
quickly propelled her into stardom (she even made
a cameo in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 smash Pulp
Fiction). In the late 1990s she became a household
name playing the quirky best friend of the title
character on the long running American sitcom
Suddenly Susan.  Griffin voiced the character of
Dilbert#Alice|Alice in the animated television
series Dilbert.  In 2003 she was the grand prize
winner on Celebrity Mole, and she continues to
tour with her stand-up routine.

Her most notable controversy occured when she made
a joke during an interminable "E!" televised event
that eight-year-old Dakota Fanning was just out of
rehab.
