«Breaking News» Kathy Griffin says CNN boss Jeff Zucker CUT her salary by 30 percent when she asked for a raise

Kathy Griffin is saying goodbye to 2018 by sharing a bit of shocking information about her decade-long stint as co-host of CNN's New Year's Eve telecast.

'I worked my way up by the 10th year at CNN to get a fee of $150,000. By the way, just as a point of reference, Anderson Cooper regularly bragged for years that his annual CNN contract was $10 million a year,' wrote Griffin on Twitter.

'The first two years I appeared on CNN, it didn’t even occur to me to ask for a salary. The 8th year when I asked Jeff Zucker for a raise, he was so angry he docked me 30%. I’m sorry to say I took the pay cut because I truly enjoyed making you all laugh.'

CNN has yet to respond to multiple requests for comment.

Griffin revealed this information in a thread about Leslie Jones, who will be appearing on NBC this New Year's Eve alongside Carson Daly and Chrissy Teigen.

The comedian, who was very publicly booted by CNN after posing for a photo with a prop of President Trump's decapitated head, decided to share her story after a number of fans commented on hos wmuch her presence is missed on the program.

She was replaced by Andy Cohen, who will return again for his second stint as co-host this year.

Griffin said that Jones had initially been set to co-host the CNN show, but was then downgraded to only a few segments, a notion that she found ridiculous.

'I’m thrilled she is going to appear in the NBC New Years telecast with Carson Daly/Chrissy Teigen, but it's time for Leslie to co-host/host. That would be progress...it would have been a step in the right direction for all women if she got the CNN gig,' wrote Griffin.

'You have to admit, it didn’t make sense that NBC Uni wouldn’t have a problem with Andy Cohen, who also works for NBC Uni, appearing on CNN, but would have a problem with Leslie? Since Leslie didn't work out, CNN couldn't find one woman standup comic star to co-host? Jeff?'

Zucked over: She also said that she did not 'even think to ask for a salary' during her first two years hosting the program (Griffin and Zucker in 2004)

She then ADDED: 'I didn’t hear anything about what Leslie‘s fee will be on NBC, but I really hope it is AT LEAST $150,000 because that is a nice paycheck and it’s what she deserves.'

Griffin posted at the end of her thread that this was all part of her resolutions heading into the new year.

'I have learned it is essential to stick up for others in ways I truly wish others would have stuck up for me. I have done that more than ever in the past year and will continue to do it no matter what, wrote Griffing.

She then added: 'I will stay positive, be as brave as I can in my comedy, never quit, and never let the old boys club keep me silent or out of work.'

The comedian closed out by noting: 'I may not be able to have a drink with you, but I have served up a pot of piping hot tea!'

The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
