Kathy Griffin says she’s ‘so at home here in the music industry’ -- and it shows.

This year, she’s ‘here as an artist and to talk smack about the people that are here, and I’m nominated, which is unfathomable ... so they’re not able to kick me out.’

Griffin is up for best comedy album for ‘Suckin’ It for the Holidays.’ Listen to what she has to say about her bet with fellow nominee George Lopez.
