Send For The Sandman! 9 Celebs Who Got Rejected Or Booed Off The Apollo Stage Before Making It Big

Kathy Griffin

Kathy’s the only person on this list who tried her hand at performing at the Apollo Theater after she became popular, but that didn’t help her win with the crowd. At this point, I’m pretty sure comedienne Kathy Griffin likes controversy and side eyes, because she says a lot of crass things that bring her such a response. For instance, after being invited to perform at the Apollo Theater before amateur night, the actress, who brought cameras along for her reality show, “My Life On The D-List,” flopped. I guess in her state of nerves, Griffin made a joke about getting her lips done and them looking like the lips of your lady bits, as well as numerous references to the sweat dripping down her a** crack, and after a while, things got awkward. On the show, she was even reprimanded when she got off stage for a being a bit more foul mouthed than folks at the Apollo would have wanted, but hey, we’re talking about Kathy Griffin here. What did they expect?
