Comedian and actress Kathy Griffin claimed CNN president Jeff Zucker slashed her pay after she had asked for a raise as co-host of the network's New Year's Eve special.
In a profile published Wednesday in The New York Times, Griffin recalled reaching out to Zucker 10 days before the broadcast in 2016 and told him she felt she deserved more than her $80,000 contract since "she was carrying more of the prep work" than her co-host, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
According to Griffin, Zucker "got very offended." "He started yelling at me and he literally said something like, ‘Who do you think you are calling here demanding a raise?’

Sound 'business practices'. Have to imagine they could find someone else easily, and at half the price.

I can safely say that I have never said and felt anything even remotely positive for a sleaze bag like Jeff Zucker.
But I fully support his reaction to this evil hag's actions. He may be a totally evil and useless human being, but she is substantially worse!!!

"He broke me."
And then later, "He broke me, too."
Had to put her house in Hollywood up for sale.
Now she's really broke.
Not sorry and don't care.
Buh bye.

Pedantic factoid, Zucker doesn't rhyme with sucker but rather cooker or hooker. Back to our regularly scheduled programming...

Kathy, I wouldn't complain. If I were Jeff Zucker you would not have even gotten the gig at all.

She is neither a comic or an actress who is kidding who here? She is a hack that pretends to perform on stage.

Hard to believe she can get paid at all for what she brings to the table. She has always been a talentless, vile pig as far as I am concerned.

Luck of the draw. Her comic talents usually are found doing f'art jokes at Tuesday night open mic at Giggle Hut on the outskirts of Rockford.
