Kathy Griffin knows exactly what she’ll be watching on TV to ring in the new year, and it won’t be CNN‘s New Year’s Eve Live with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
The 62-year-old actress shared an old TMZ clip from five years ago, of the Real Housewives creator trying to be funny about replacing the comedian on the CNN broadcast, in which he pretended not to know her.
The cut turned into a scar that keeps hurting the Emmy winner who wrote on Instagram Saturday, ‘Ugh. Every year someone sends me this clip around New Year’s Eve.’
