Leave it to Kathy Griffin: the outrageous comedienne spoofed reality TV's favorite mama, Kate Gosselin, on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday night.

Then there's Jon, played by always-entertaining Star Trek legend George Takei. Just as he is portrayed in tabloids, Jon is preoccupied with making out with a young-looking cheerleader throughout the skit, only addressing Kate to ask her to flip off a switch.
Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights 12:05/11:05c.
