Kathy Griffin rejected lucrative offer to join The View
Kathy Griffin once rejected a $1.4 million offer to join The View. The 64-year-old comedy star has revealed that she was offered a spot on the TV talk-show in the mid-2000s - but the offer actually fell well short of what she was earning at the time. Speaking on her YouTube channel, Kathy explained: "They made me an offer and the offer was for $1.4 [million] and I am just going to be honest, I had to turn it down because at the time between doing My Life on the D-List and touring - I was making about $10 [million] a year." Kathy was caring for her parents at the time, too, and she was reluctant to "uproot [her] whole life" for the TV show. Despite this, Kathy respects the celebrities who have starred on The View over the years, acknowledging that they face some severe "blowback". She said: "I really respect those women for going on that show day in and day out because they know there's blowback. And by the way, to this day, The View is one of the most buzzworthy shows on television or anywhere." Meanwhile, Kathy previously defended her decision to use a private jet for her My Life on the PTSD List tour. The comedy star - who has battled lung cancer and an addiction to prescription drugs - suggested that her preferred mode of transport was a reward for years of hard work. She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: 'I don't give a s***. After everything I've been through, I justify it. 'I don't want to say I don't care if I make money on this tour or not, but I have prioritised the unimaginable with my normal Midwest background. "I put in decades at the airport hotel, I put in decades at the cheapest, crappiest motel that the club put me in where there are bugs in the room. "I confess to having A-list travel, right? It's all my own money that I earned by myself. "I did not come from generational wealth. Nobody ever gave me a goddamn dime. And so this is what I'm doing."

She said in her clip: 'One night, I spent the night there, and the next day I'm in the shower. 'I get off on the bathmat, and I said, 'I need a shower towel,' and he goes, 'You're standing on it.''

Despite the hygiene concerns, Kathy admitted she continued seeing the 'School of Rock' star, saying: 'So naturally I kept sleeping with him.' Kathy explained that at the time, Jack was the most impressive person she had dated. She added: 'He was the first boyfriend I ever had where other bros thought I was cool because I was dating him.'

To prove their past romance, the 'My Life on the D-List' star shared a throwback photo of herself and Jack lounging together on a couch. She captioned the TikTok post: 'You're not gonna believe this one. This is why you're never gonna wanna miss an episode of my new YouTube show 'Kathy Griffin: Talk Your Head Off'.' Fans quickly reacted to the post, with one asking: 'I'm actually jealous. I love Jack Black. Did y'all laugh all the time?' Kathy confirmed: 'YES, I would literally pass away if that happened to me.' Other comments from fans included: 'The towel thing is so real. So is still sleeping with him lmfao,' and 'I fear we've all been Jack Blacked at least once, Kathy.'
