STARRING Kathy Griffin, her husband, parents, assistant, ''best gays,'' and live-in decorator
WHAT IT'S ABOUT How Griffin gathers material for her dishy stand-up — or, in her words, ''all the ways that my life is the polar opposite of Nicole Kidman's.'' Sample, as seen in episode one: ''If Nicole Kidman wanted [O.C. star] Rachel Bilson's number, Rachel Bilson would, No. 1, pee herself, and No. 2, drive Nicole Kidman directly to her home. But with me she's like, 'Um...here's my publicist.' That's the D- List.''
WHAT TO EXPECT Revelations about D-list Hollywood truths, like how bombing at a formal affair honoring Warren Beatty is worth it just to get a picture with him. Says Bravo president Lauren Zalaznick, ''That's her job — filter it all and craft the comedy. She's brilliant.''
WHY WE'RE OPTIMISTIC As a reality TV connoisseur, Griffin knows from good ''cringe moments,'' as when hubby Matt wears ankle weights under his jeans, trying to make minimum weight for gastric bypass surgery. Admits Griffin, ''We do whatever it takes in this house.''
