Kathy Griffin in Second TV Snub  1/29/08

Comedienne Kathy Griffin has been dropped from U.S. TV show The View for a second time - after she was "mean" to co-host Barbara Walters.

The star was due to appear on the talk show on Tuesday (29Jan08), to coincide with the final night of her sold-out stand-up show in New York, but she was left fuming after being scrapped at the last minute.

She tells New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "I was supposed to be on The View (today). But then I get a call from (producer) Bill Geddie, and he says, 'You were too mean to Barbara on your last special, so you can't come on.' Can you believe it? I've been banned before but never re-banned!"

Griffin co-hosted The View on a number of occasions following the departure of Rosie O'Donnell last year (07) but was dropped after her long-running gags about Walters led to speculation of a rift between the pair.
