Comedian Kathy Griffin is back again to host CNN‘s New Year’s Eve special. But wait…..wasn’t she fired last year?

Kathy Griffin Drops F-Bomb On Anderson Cooper (VIDEO)

Yes, that’s right. Kathy was fired after she dropped the F-bomb during last year’s telecast with co-host Anderson Cooper:

“Yes, I was fired. They issued a statement. I was banned from CNN and then as Anderson Cooper says, “There was a change in management,” which was great because the guy who fired me got fired, so being the cockroach that I am, I’m just going to outlast everybody. That’s my career philosophy; it’s not a very deep one. I basically have the survivor moniker in my life which is, outlast, outwit, outplay. That’s what I’ve done with the management at CNN.”

And here’s what she had to said about CNN‘s decision to hire her…again:

“I’ve gotten so many jobs when they fire somebody else and at the eleventh hour they say, “OK, our backs are up against the wall, darn it, we have to hire her.” It’s just years and years of basically painting people into a corner so they have to hire me whether they like it or not. I think CNN probably doesn’t think its biggest priority is its New Year’s Eve broadcast, however, they’re wrong. It should be their biggest event every single year and I will do whatever it takes to make it their biggest event and as usual I have a simple goal, which is to get Anderson Cooper fired by the end of the night.”

Well, obviously we all know what I’ll be tuning into this year. I love nothing more than a good ol’ F-bomb on live television!
