Still bringing her A-game

Kathy Griffin has won two Emmys for “Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List,” now in its fifth season on Bravo.

Her stand-up shows often sell out. Her 2008 comedy album, “For Your Consideration,” was nominated for a Grammy. And her memoir comes out in September.

But the 48-year-old actress-comedian insists she’s on the outside looking in.

Q: It’s hard to believe you’re still on the D-list.

A: I have proof although I’m flattered at the suggestion that I could even be a C-minus. Recently, I was on tour and they delivered me a sandwich and it said Taffy Griffin. Now, I’d like to think that’s maybe what they thought my stripper name was, but no. My name was on the marquee. Sold-out show. Taffy Griffin. I’m on the D-list where I belong.

Q: You’ve joked about many celebrities. Who are you most afraid of running into?

A: Whitney Houston, because she’ll just cut you. … I’m afraid of many, many celebrities. Most of them really.

Q: How about Speidi, also known as Heidi Montag Pratt and Spencer Pratt?

A: What is tough for me as a D-list celebrity is that kind of puts Speidi and me in the same category and that hurts. That’s a bitter pill for me to swallow.

Q: When is your memoir coming out?

A: “Official Book Club Selection” is the title of my book because I’m trying to fool you into thinking it’s part of the Oprah book club. It’s not. Anyway, it comes out Sept. 29. And I believe it’s going to be what you call a barn-burner. So we’ll see who’s talking to me after the book comes out. We’ll see if you’re even talking to me when the book comes out. Because some people, you know, they go down pretty hard. Including myself.
