VIDEO: Kathy Griffin Stops by THE TONIGHT SHOW

Two-time Emmy winner, Kathy Griffin, dropped by "The Tonight Show" last night to chat with host Jay Leno. The funny lady discussed her new comedy special amongst other things and, as usual, hilarity ensued. Check out the appearance below!

Also a NY Times bestselling author, Grammy nominee, 2009's GLAAD Vanguard recipient and 2011 Trevor Project Life Award honoree, Kathy Griffin is a multi-faceted performer with rapid fire wit. She has been making audiences laugh for years discussing Hollywood gossip and celebrity blunders.

After moving to California, from her native Chicago, and joining the famed Los Angeles Groundlings comedy improvisational troupe, Kathy began building her resume with guest starring roles on such series as "ER" and "Seinfeld" - where she created recurring character Sally Weaver. In 1996, Kathy's dream of playing a sidekick on a sitcom came true when she landed the role of Vickie Groener, Brook Shields' sharp tongued colleague, on the NBC show "Suddenly Susan."

After her various TV guest spots, Kathy began gaining notice as a stand-up comedienne and landed her own "HBO Half Hour Comedy Special." In 1998, HBO gave Kathy her own one-hour special, "A Hot Cup of Talk." She participated in, and won "Celebrity Mole" on ABC, and then hosted the NBC reality series "Average Joe" as well as the MTV series, "Kathy's So-Called Reality." In 2010, Kathy took a dramatic turn on "Law and Order: SVU" where she riveted audiences with her portrayal of a lesbian activist with a secret.
