'Fashion Police' New Host News: Kathy Griffin Replaces Late Joan Rivers on Popular E! Network Series
Famous comedian Kathy Griffin has some big shoes to fill in as she is now the new host of the renowned fashion series on E! Network, 'Fashion Police', which was temporarily postponed as the former late host Joan Rivers passed away on September 4.
On that note, many feel that the late Rivers wouldn't want to leave her fans hanging which is why E! finally found a new fashion ranger which they hope will bring joy to the show's viewers.
"Not only was Joan a trailblazer, she was also a dear friend and mentor to Kathy, who will no doubt continue her legacy and do the series justice by bringing her own unique comedic style and tell-it-like-it-is personality to the host chair," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development of E!.
Not only that, the show is definitely giving it a fresh look since they took in another TV Personality, Brad Goreski.
"Plus, the addition of trendsetting stylist Brad completes the panel as the show begins its next chapter, which will focus on covering the major award shows and fashion events throughout the year," Olde told E!.
Rivers' daughter Melissa Rivers shares the same enthusiasm for the upcoming show which airs on January 12, 2015. "Kathy just feels right, and Brad brings a fun, new voice to join Giuliana and Kelly in this ensemble," said Melissa Rivers, Executive Producer, "I'm excited to see where this panel takes this series my mother so adored in this next incarnation," she told E!.
Meanwhile, the two-time Emmy winner, Griffin, is ready to take on the challenge. "I get it! These are some big shoes I'm going to fill. Joan was truly one of a kind. Now I hope you will accept me for me. I'm just Kathy," Griffin told E!.
"Did I say I'm just Kathy? I meant I'm Kathy F***ing Griffin and you celebrities better strap yourself in, as I am taking no prisoners. I am not holding back so DAMMIT let's have some fun!" she added.
