With fellow comic Michael McDonald and actress Karri Turner in tow, Kathy departs for Iraq to perform for the troops. While Michael ends up wowing the audience of soldiers, Kathy does not, at least at first. Also, Kathy discovers that military-issue food might be good for her figure.

In the third-season finale, Kathy scores an award from Irish America magazine. The recognition inspires Kathy to connect with her Irish roots, so she journeys with her posse to Dublin, where she offers a sweet gesture in memory of her father.

Kathy receives an award from the Human Rights Council which gives her the inspiration to fight for what she believes in, so she travels to Washington, DC. to support the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in the military.

Kathy decides to write a tell-all book; Kathy grants Maggie a series of wishes.

Kathy starts to think she has a chance of moving off of the D List after a string of awards and nominations. She heads down to Grammy HQ in order to beg/bribe/plead them into giving her and award! Kathy meets up with Bette Midler who offers her a part she cannot refuse.

Kathy gears up to host a gay adult-video awards gala. She also prepares to perform her comedy act in front of prisoners at a state penitentiary in Arizona.

Kathy is ready to set out on Rosie O'Donnell's lesbian cruise, but soon realizes that she must adjust her comedic material to captivate the lesbian audience. To do so, she enlists assistance from "Work Out" star Jackie Warner. However, and to her dismay, Kathy's comedy is not her only impediment, as she receives horrible news that may shake the entire course of her life from this point forward.

Kathy addresses her breakup with husband Matt, goes on a “Red State” stand-up tour and auctions off a weekend stay for one at her house for charity. She also finds time to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “The Tyra Banks Show.”

To make it up to Maggie after swearing on CNN, Kathy organizes a talent show for the residents of Maggie's retirement community. The show goes well despite the late arrival by Cloris Leachman and Kathy performs "You Made Me Love You" with re-written lyrics in Maggie's honor.

After last week's oh-so-A-List sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, Kathy was back "on the D-L" this week. Not that kind of D-L, as in Down-Low, but Kathy's kind of D-L: D-List. You can't get more D-List than being the special guest at the International Bear Roundup in San Francisco or getting your assistants a teaching gig at the Learning Annex.

Kathy is performing at Madison Square Garden - SOLD OUT!!! But Kathy's been re-banned from the "The View" because of a harmless joke about Barbara Walters. It's fine to be sold out, but without press such an achievement seems wasted. Luckily, she's found a perfect way to get publicity. There is a quirky Jewish couple in Queens whose dream wedding includes Kathy serving as their minister. She could probably get Page 6 and maybe the local news to cover it. All it requires is that she gets ordained on the Internet. A trip to New York also means she'll have chance to see her pal, Rosie O'Donnell. Jessica and Tiffany are dying to play in Rosie's craft room. And just to make things extra fun, Kathy's hooking up with old friends Molly Shannon and Megan Mullally while she's in town.

Kathy's gay fan base has reached international proportions and it's time to travel to the land down under to receive the love (and publicity) that she so richly deserves (and craves). And what better time of year to visit Oz and the Emerald City than during Gay Mardi Gras? For the Mardi Gras parade, Kathy will be riding on top of a float through downtown Sydney. But before she can go down under, she has to go up, up and away on one of her craziest D-List gigs yet -- she'll be the hostess of Air New Zealand's Pink Flight from San Francisco to Sydney (you don't see Chris Rock having to take gigs like this). This special flight features a bevy of flight attendant drag queens and gay themed in-flight entertainment including a stand up performance by Kathy over a PA system at 35,000 feet. Kathy will be beside herself with a captive audience that is ready to party for 15 hours straight. And by straight, we mean gay.

Kathy's assistant's assistant, Tiffany, and her tour manager, Tom, are here to stay -- but what do we really know about them? Kathy may be starting her staff background checks a year late, but you never can be too careful about employees found on MySpace or those who have been so quickly promoted from dog-walker/roommate to tour manager. Kathy's decided that the best way to really get to know her new staff is to visit their hometowns. Kathy's booked two stand up gigs -- one in Tom's hometown of St. Louis, Missouri, and one in Tiffany's hometown of Tracy, California. She will meet their families and milk her own publicity machine by throwing them into the local media spotlight. Tom and Tiffany better work the "local hero" angle to sell tickets. Kathy meets Tom's beat cop brother, Bill, and the mayor of St. Louis, who declares it "Tom Vize Day?" And what about sweet, giggly Tiffany? Tickets aren't exactly moving for Kathy's show in the sleepy cow town of Tracy, so Tiffany is going to have to hustle. Kathy's Emmy win has given her award fever so she decides to go for a Grammy. Hell, if Obama, Clinton, and even Woz can win one, they must be giving them away. So Kathy makes plans to record a live CD of her stand up. Kathy also meets with Bon Jovi's cousin, who is an expert in merchandising, to discuss why t-shirts sales are so low at her performances. Safe to say, it's going to involve Team Griffin hustling like they never have before in order to get those sales up.

Kathy gets some help from Liza Minnelli in order to gain confidence for her guest spot on Law & Order: SVU.

Kathy hopes that having a public Pap smear that it will help raise awareness of women's health. She wants more people to know about her upcoming gig so begins publicity for it and meets up with Joy Behar.

Kathy's in need of a better cash flow so she decides to capitalize on her mother's growing fame. She has a range of ideas and needs help from Suze Orman in order to get things off the ground.

Kathy takes part in judging a toddler pageant where she adds her own artistic touch, and she also has her home remodeled.

Welcome to the crazy and cooky world of Kathy Griffin, the D-List celebrity everyone knows as "that red-head chick." Despite living a life of low-celeb status, where she assists in judging a drag queen beauty pageant, attempts to recruit celebrities to come to her annual Toys for Tots fundraiser, tries to get a free sofa for her in-the-works A-List house, and "bombs" with her raunchy comedy at a stuffy charity dinner, Kathy gets all of the support she needs from her parents, her husband, her wonderful assistant, her two "best gays," and her live-in gay visionary, Mike, who is designing Kathy's house for next-to-free in exchange for the publicity that will come with the house. Kathy's life proves that you don't need to be Nicole Kidman in order to enjoy yourself.

The always-busy Kathy takes on as much as she can handle before her big Toys for Tots fundraiser, including shopping for more furniture, getting a next-to-free custom-made sofa, flying to Oregon for a celebrity poker tournament, going to Las Vegas to film a commercial for the Billboard Awards, and still finding time to plug her upcoming DVD, Allegedly, on Extra. Later, Kathy tries to find some time to relax while catering to the needs of lots of celebrities, like Andy Dick, Nestor Carbonell, Jenny McCarthy, Jamie-Lynn Discala, James Denton, and even Ray Romano! What a weekend!

Kathy and Matt go on the publicity train by doing a nation-wide tour for Kathy's new comedy DVD, titled Allegedly. On the tour, Star Jones inadvertantly disses her on The View, John McEnroe butchers her name on his talk show (which is cancelled shortly after Kathy appears), no one shows up to her hyped DVD signings, and Jay Leno calls her ugly on air, which really breaks Kathy's heart and deflates her already-low ego. I guess that's what happens when you're on the D-List.

Life is busier than ever for Kathy since last season, and she's hired two more assistants, Tom and Tiffany, to help her keep up with the pace. Some of her upcoming events include a visit to the ladies of The View (which goes much better than last time thanks to Star's departure), a gig hosting a corporate film for Redken sales reps, and most importantly--a sold out show at Carnegie Hall! But not all of Kathy's recent changes have been pleasant...she and Matt Moline are now officially divorced, and she's not sure she's ready to face the world alone.

Following her tragic family loss, Kathy begins to ponder her legacy and wishes to resolve all her relationship issues. In the meantime, she is also offered a gig on a home-shopping network, hosts a performance in her hometown Chicago, and reconnects with an old high-school love.

Kathy's determination to get a Grammy nomination has paid off, but she won't rest until she has won the award. Kathy starts calling round previous winners in an effort to secure their votes. She ends up heading to Canada where she speaks to Lily Tomlin.

Kathy heads north for a very busy trip to Alaska. She meets up with her friend Levi Johnston to do a book signing, performs stand up, and turns host for a dog-sled event.

Kathy gets the opportunity she's been waiting for - to work the red carpet at the Grammys for the E! Channel. But she finds that she may be in over her head when she discovers how packed her schedule is - besides having to perform in her hometown (where she reunites with her biggest fan/stalker) and go to a homecoming party where no one shows up, she has to put up with a bitchy stylist, find a dress to fit her "challenging" figure in order to stay off the Worst Dressed lists, sell more DVDs, get her hair and makeup done, and get her Botox shots! Can she pull it off?

Because of her success at the Grammys, Kathy gets the job patrolling the red carpet at the Oscars from the "media bridge" as part of E!'s Live At The Red Carpet special. However, tempers flare and tears loom when she cannot find her credential that is needed to get on the red carpet. While she comes close to spoiling her big chance, eventually it all works out, and Kathy remains the energetic and hilarious comedienne that she will forever be known as.

The winner of Kathy's auction finally arrives for a weekend stay at her home, but he's not quite as flamboyant as she had hoped. Regardless, Kathy shows him a grand old time - Hollywood style. Meanwhile, she attempts to lose 10 pounds and later prepares for a trip to Iraq to entertain the troops.
