Kathy Griffin on Whitney: No More Jokes

February 12, 2012 Awards Shows

Comedian Kathy Griffin admitted to feeling the somber mood at the 2012 Grammy Awards over the death of Whitney Houston, telling "Extra's" Mario Lopez there will be no more jibes about the singer in her act.

"There's definitely a different feeling today," said Griffin. "Everybody is thinking about it. Whitney Houston is one of the superstars that really touched so many people... It's a true loss."

Griffin continued, "So, no jokes today, and no jokes tomorrow. It's interesting when this happens. When these people that are in my act, I do I feel like I know them. It's real; it's tragedy. There's plenty of other stuff for me to make fun of."
