Kathy Griffin shares a bizarre Britney Spears story

Kathy Griffin: I love everywhere from Carnegie to Potawotami to a casino somewhere in the middle of nowhere to, you know, as you know, I've performed overseas for the troops, etc. I just love it. I cannot hit the microphone fast enough.

Larry King: Do you ever forget what city you're in?

Kathy Griffin: Um, I don't, but I have empathy. Like, OK, so I used to make fun of Britney Spears. You know who that is, she's a singer.

Larry King: I know who that is.

Kathy Griffin: First of all, how many times has she been on your show?

Larry King: Twice, I think.

Kathy Griffin: So, tell me about that. What was that like. Did you get the pinwheel eyes?

Larry King: Yeah, she's very pretty.

Kathy Griffin: You know what I'm talking about. She's not all there, Lar.

Larry King: Well, she's-- OK. So what's your point? What are we talking--

Kathy Griffin: I'm saying that I hope you were gently with her. Because she's, you know, a fragile-

Larry King: So what's your point?

Kathy Griffin: Nothing. I just wanted to know if you got through to her in a way that her doctors couldn't. Anyway, I digress. The point is, I actually appeared in Britney Spears' Vegas show. She had someone every night come up, and they put a harness on me, and I was her sex slave for a song that she sings. It's called Freak Show. And there's footage of it, you can see it, I wrote about it in the book. And in the end, you know, I've known her since she was 16. So I thought at the end, we're on stage together and it's a triumphant moment for really both of us. And then I thought, she's going to want to just kind of say "Good to see you again," and I say, "You know, Brit, it's so great to see you." And then she, uh, didn't know who I was. And then her gay backup dancer from Heaven said "Kathy Griffin." And then she just went "Give it up for Kathy, y'all!" And that's all I ask for Britney.
