EXCLUSIVE: Kathy Griffin Reveals Big Change To Talk Show, Huge Guests (AOL Television)

"Kathy" is going live. Kathy Griffin's Bravo talk show returns with new
episodes on January 10 with one big change: The unpredictable host will be
coming to you live. To celebrate the new season and format, Griffin has tapped
two big names for the premiere: Liza Minnelli and Jane Lynch.

told The Huffington Post in a phone interview. "Liza, Jane Lynch and ... I

educators.

Florida Education Department spokesperson Cynthia Sucher told the Times that
