Kathy Griffin

“This administration is made for standup comedy,” says the comedian, author and actress. Above, Griffin makes her entrance at the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. This will be her first Tucson show since 2013.

In an interview with the Star, comedian Kathy Griffin shared that her boyfriend went to the University of Arizona. 

Here is what she told reporter Cathalena E. Burch:

“My boyfriend (Randy Bick) of 5½ years is a Wildcat and he is 18 years younger than I am so I now have to be a Wildcat. I don’t know anything about sports, but when he and I go hiking every day, he wears his Arizona cap and it’s always a little embarrassing for me when a grown man passes him and says, ‘Bear Down’. I don’t think women have those secret societies. If I see a female friend I don’t pass her and go, ‘There’s a sales at Saks.’”

Griffin will perform at the Desert Diamond Center this Saturday. Read the full interview here
