The TV Academy and E! announced today that they would not air remarks made by comedian Kathy Griffin upon her acceptance of an Emmy for Best Reality Program.
Griffin's remarks were classic Griffin:
“A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus…Suck it, Jesus. This award is my God now.”
Following the remark, Catholic League President Bill Donohue called on the TV academy to “denounce Griffin's obscene and blasphemous comment” which he then thanked them for doing.
He still demands Griffin apologize
Congrats to Griffin on the well-deserved win.
