Kathy Griffin on Her Emmy Nom and Special Michael Jackson Connection

Kathy Griffin's enjoying life on the A-List today as she basks in the glow of two Emmy nominations. And with the newly surfaced footage of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercial accident making headlines, she reveals an incredible connection to the King of Pop on that fateful day!

Kathy was an extra on the commercial, shot in 1984, and she tells ET's Kevin Frazier, "I remember everything about that moment -- I was way in back of the crowd scene, and when it happened, we didn't really know exactly what happened at the moment, and it's really fascinating to watch that footage because you can tell that Michael doesn't know for a minute, and being the consummate pro, he keeps dancing and stuff.

"To see Michael Jackson come out with the glove and the sparkly outfit, and he was so thin, I have to admit it's one of those moments that you look at him and go, 'Is that really that person?' And it was really exciting to see him," she adds.
