Kathy Griffin: Says, 'I'm pregnant with Levi Johnston's baby'
On Monday night Kathy Griffin visited Conan O’Brien’s "The Tonight Show" to promote her new book, “Official Book Club Selection,” and her new TV comedy special “Balls of Steel."
However the conversation between the comedians quickly turned to Griffin’s “love affair” with Levi Johnston.
The “My Life on the D-List” star referred her romance with “Bristol Palin’s baby daddy,” as O’Brien referred to him, as a “Brangelina situation.”
Griffin, who claimed she’s just 27, said, ‘He’s 19 years young.’
She told O’Brien. “I am in a serious, committed relationship with Levi Johnston, and I resent that you’re suggesting that it might be for publicity to sell books,”
The comedian admits that she invited Johnston to accompany her on the red carpet at this year’s Teen Choice Awards as a publicity stunt, but then the two proceeded to “fall in love.”
O’Brien could not hold back his laughter as Griffin suddenly said: “Do you feel a kicking? I think there’s like, a baby bump happening. I knew it! Oh, thank you Jesus!
“Once again, I am not saying that I’m pregnant by Levi Johnston to sell books at all. I think I really felt some kicking, I really do.”
Late night host O’Brien then steered their conversation to the topic of Griffin’s hot and cold relationship with Barbara Walters and “The View.” The comedian auditioned for the show for several months, and then was temporarily banned from the set more than once.
Griffin said, “I have a relationship with Barbara Walters that’s like a love-hate situation,” “Like Brokeback Mountain, I can’t quit her.”
She continued, “When I used to do ‘The View,’ she would kick me under the table when I was inappropriate so I looked like Rihanna from the knees down. She was my Chris Brown.”“I had bruises and lacerations, but it was worth it.”
