The awards show is gonna be so much fun because the titles alone are just priceless. I’m going home again, baby! Welcome home! What are you most excited about for the big night? I hosted a different gay porn awards show one time-it was even covered on Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List-and so it’s gonna be a fun walk down nostalgia lane. Yes! Gay! Gay! Gay! Hosting the awards is going to be a blast. Switching from that week to this weekend, you’re hosting the Str8UpGayPorn Awards. I was honored and thrilled that she did it. She was my first and last call, and I couldn’t think of a better person. Look at what we would have missed out on if the homophobic schmucks that ran the networks in those days decided, “Oh, we’re not gonna put this lesbian on camera,” and she turns out to be one of the most iconic voices in comedy ever. They were living as gay women pre-Stonewall, and Lily had to go through decades of being on Laugh-In and being a public person and yet not being able to really come out of the closet. I’ve been an ally for many decades, and I see her often at LGBT events, and I have a very strong consciousness that she and Jane have been fighting the fight long before it was cool. She has the most infectious laugh I think I’ve ever heard. She’s such a wonderful, sweet, smart, fun person. I know her really well, and she’s obviously an idol of mine. Mike Ruiz Why did you choose Lily to be the officiant? It couldn’t have been more silly and fun and real. We have four dogs, and at one point one of the puppies started climbing up Jane’s outfit. I burst out in a flop sweat and had to walk away and dab my makeup with a paper towel, and Lily is just standing there like, “What the hell is going on?” And then Jane just starts talking to Lily during the ceremony. And by the way, the entire ceremony is under 12 minutes, and it’s on YouTube. I mean, that’s very meaningful because they had to sort of be in the closet for so long. I was so honored that the great Lily Tomlin said yes to officiating and her wife, Jane Wagner, was the witness. It was really great because it was just the way we wanted it-pared-down and simple-and we would prefer to surprise people than have to try to juggle guest lists. First of all, congratulations on your wedding. NewNowNext sat down with the comedian ahead of her big show to discuss why she’s the perfect host, the porn she can’t stop thinking about, and the serious message she’s planning to slip into the festivities.
Griffin is now returning to a group she says she can always count on-the queer community-for her first official gig of the new year: hosting the third annual Str8UpGayPorn Awards in Hollywood on January 12. Griffin kicked off 2020 by surprising fans with a New Year’s wedding to her longtime boyfriend, Randy Bick, in a ceremony officiated by comedy and LGBTQ icon Lily Tomlin, no less. But with a new year comes a fresh start, and things are already looking up for the comedian. She says she’s still facing backlash for that infamous 2017 photograph of her holding up a ketchup-stained fake severed Trump head, struggling to get work ever since.
