VIDEO : Kathy Griffin Says Leslie Jones Could Have Been Her Replacement For CNN's New Year's Eve Tel

After posting a photo holding President Trump?s head, Kathy Griffin was replaced by Andy Cohen. Griffin says CNN was in talks with Leslie Jones to replace Cohen as this year?s New Year?s Eve telecast to co-host. She said the deal fell through and Jones was simply offered a ?guest role? appearance. According to SFGate, Griffin said part of it had to do with NBC not wanting Jones to appear on another network.
