Kathy Griffin Banned From 'The View' Babs Miffed (Video)

is an outspoken comedian who has apparently stepped over the line, at least whereis concerned. Griffin does a dead on impersonation of Babs. She has been performing her standup act in a sold out run at Madison Square Garden. Her final show is tonight, and she had planned to be a guest on this morning's broadcast of the popular talk show, The View.

Griffin apparently received a phone call yesterday from the shows producer Bill Geddie. He informed her that they have canceled her scheduled appearance because she was too mean to Barbara during her last special on Bravo.

The comedian said that she had been banned once before, but was incredulous to have been rebanned. Griffin is likely to use this momentary setback as fodder for her stand up act. Babs may regret the slight because of the ensuing fallout that is likely to occur.

The subject is likely to be a Hot Topic on this mornings show. It will be interesting to hear what kind of spin Walters will use to plead her case. During the search for a Rosie O'Donnell replacement, Griffin was thought to be a possible replacement and appeared frequently as part of the hosting panel and appeared to get under Walter's skin on several occasions with her irreverent remarks. Play video clip below to see Babs hostility toward the comedian.

Kathy Griffin can't help herself. She loves conflict and declared she was jealous of the Rosie and Elizabeth Hasselbeck feud, wishing for some controversy to puff up her public profile. She'll make the most of this one - no doubt about it.
