Waking up to Ripa and Kathy Griffin might not be a bad thing for “Live!” viewers. The 51-year-old funnywoman has plenty of experience, ranging from a red-carpet commentator to reality TV star (“My Life on the D-List” was one of Bravo’s most popular shows for six seasons). Need more convincing? Griffin is also a Grammy Award nominated artist, for the category of best comedy album. She’s also an Emmy winner. REUTERS

Comedienne Kathy Griffin got some bad news from her network. The former “My Life on the D-List” star's talk show, “Kathy,” has been cancelled by Bravo. Griffin took to Twitter, confirming the news by tweeting back at celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Griffin joked about her show’s cancellation while on the road in Cincinnati, saying “predicting the demise of Bravo,” according to the Enquirer.

The show launched last year and aired for two seasons.

Griffin reportedly shot a CNN pilot show with pal Anderson Cooper (whose daytime talk show also got the axe) last month.

Catch the remaining episodes of “Kathy” on Bravo, Thursday nights at 11:30/10:30c.
