CNN's announcement about Kathy Griffin rekindles 'Apprentice' catchphrase

After Kathy Griffin’s “severed head” stunt backfired on her big time, there was some question as to whether she would still be co-hosting CNN’s new year coverage. That question has been answered, at least for now:

CNN has terminated our agreement with Kathy Griffin to appear on our New Year's Eve program.

In other words…

As Trump would say… You're fired!

I don't want to give Kathy Griffin anymore attention…..but "You're Fired," per CNN.

Kathy Griffin can you say "you're fired"

Ouch.

I'd decry the stupidity of our new mob culture but lhonestly what she did would have gotten her fired before. Some stuff is beyond the pale. https://t.co/o1t8jAJZ24

Heh. We’ll see if they change their mind by the time late December rolls around.

I'd hate to see what @kathygriffin does for attention next https://t.co/uLGvlc2nf2
