Kathy Griffin and Brad Goreski have joined E!’s Fashion Police, the network has confirmed.
Griffin will be taking over hosting duties for the late Joan Rivers, and about a month ago she confirmed that she had been offered the job, though she had yet to accept the position. Goreski is replacing co-host George Kotsiopoulos, who is leaving after five years.
E! programming and development exec Jeff Olde said in a statement, "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."
“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,†Griffin said. “I’m just Kathy. 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!â€
Goreski tweeted, "I am SO excited to be joining @kathygriffin, @GiulianaRancic and @KellyOsbourne on @e_FashionPolice! Can't wait to break it all down!!" It's been rumored for quite some time that Kathy was slated to join the program, but
And there will be other changes as well. The show will no longer be a weekly program, but will air just 17 episodes a year, "focused on the biggest red carpet and fashion events of 2015 including the Oscars, Grammys, Emmys and New York Fashion Week," according to Deadline.
