Comedian Kathy Griffin stripped down to a camo bikini accessorized with a bullet belt as part of the Vh1 Divas Salute the Troops concert. The show was taped at a Marine Corps air station in Miramar, CA on Friday and aired on VH1 Sunday. Kathy was the host for the event, which included performances by Katy Perry, Paramore, and Nicki Minaj. (If you’re in the US you can watch video of the show on VH1’s site.) This is by no means the first time that we’ve seen Griffin in a bikini, but she wears it well and you can hardly blame her for showing off her skinny assets. Griffin was wheeled into the show on what looked like a missile and accompanied by several servicemen and women. She tried to kiss one guy before launching into her opening monologue. (That video is the second one below.) Her opening line was “I came in on a missile. Now I know what it’s like to be a Kardashian. I mean the one that married Lamar Odom.”

Hosting Friday’s VH1 Divas Salute the Troops concert in Miramar, Calif., the 50-year-old comedienne and reality star strutted onstage in a skimpy bikini.

In a nod to the USO-themed show, Griffin’s two-piece was camouflage and accessorized with a belt made of bullets.

The special airs on VH1 on Sunday, and features performances from Katy Perry, Keri Hilson, Sugarland and Nicki Minaj.

Griffin Tweeted excitedly about meeting Perry, 25: : “I swear, first thing [Perry] said ‘You’re my idol’ Wha??? Watch out Cher!”

Unlike some other female comedians we hear from way too frequently, Kathy is actually pretty funny and she doesn’t take herself too seriously. She could stand to gain 10 pounds though. I think she looked better in her bikini photo ops last year.

Here’s the intro to the show ‘Welcome to Operation Ragin Cougar’ (only plays in the US). My favorite part is when she indicates her cleavage and asks “Have you ever been deployed to this region? [her boobs] Because your orders just came in.”

And here’s Griffin’s bikini-clad entrance. It starts off strong at least.
