Kathy Griffin reveals how much Eminem paid her for “The Real Slim Shady” music video cameo

Posted on July 8, 2025 By Remy Gelenidze

Kathy Griffin has surprised fans by revealing how much she was paid to star in one of Eminem’s music videos over 20 years ago. The comedian featured in Eminem’s The Real Slim Shady music video back in 2000, playing a nurse at a hospital, and even lip-synced the introduction of the song where Eminem says, “May I have your attention, please? / May I have your attention, please? / Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? / I repeat / Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? / We’re gonna have a problem here.”

On the latest episode of “Kathy Griffin: Talk Your Head Off” on YouTube, Kathy reminisced about her time in the music video. She said, “I am very proud to be in The Real Slim Shady music video. And yes, I’m the nurse at the beginning. You guys, I was such a b—h.”

Kathy continued, “They offered me I think 500 bucks or something but I remember being like, ‘I’m an actress. What do I care about being in a music video?'” The actress and comedian said that she asked for $10,000 to be in the music video, and they agreed.

The video was directed by named Gary Gray and Dr. Dre and they would tell Kathy to “go rough [Eminem] up.” She remembered approaching Eminem and introducing herself, and had nothing but good things to say about Eminem, who she said, introduced himself by his real name Marshall. She also revealed that she got casted for the music video because Snoop Dogg said she was funny.
