Bravo Media says it has green-lit a second season of “Kathy,” a weekly prime-time talk show starring U.S. comedian Kathy Griffin.

Each episode of the show features Griffin and a panel of civilians and celebrities commenting on the week”s most-talked about moments.

Guests on Season 1 include Jane Fonda, Anderson Cooper, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler, Whitney Cummings and Jimmy Kimmel.

“Look, I don”t know what the hell”s gonna happen in Season 2 of ”Kathy,” I”m still sore from Season 1,” Griffin said in a statement Thursday. “It”s kind of like ”not Martha Stewart” meets ”not at all Ellen” meets a lot of negative energy. Last season, I had every one on my couch from Jane Fonda to Chelsea Handler to Anderson Cooper to my dog walker. Just sit back and laugh. I”ll do all the embarrassing stuff. … Oh, and I”m nominated for an Emmy.”

“Bravo”s relationship with Kathy Griffin has outlasted Katie and Tom”s, Ashton and Demi”s and while we won”t be couch-jumping, we continue to be in awe of her quick wit, rude humor and spot-on analysis of pop culture and celebrity happenings,” Frances Berwick, president of Bravo Media, said in a statement. “The first season of ”Kathy” struck a chord with our educated, upscale viewers with its fresh new approach to not-letting-anyone-get-away-with-anything TV.”
