In picking on Amal Clooney, Kathy Griffin obviously wanted to make a big splash in her inaugural run on "Fashion Police." She said the long white gloves that George Clooney's wife wore for the Golden Globes were better suited for a porn scene.

The beautiful human rights attorney became Griffin's main target as she replaced the late Joan Rivers for E! Network's critique of Sunday's red carpet fashion, according to the Washington Post.

"Yeah, she's annoying," Griffin told her "Fashion Police" co-hosts, reported the Post. "You heard me. I thought it was weird she had those gloves that remind me of, like, a porn scene, where the guy goes home and there's the naughty dishwasher and she only has the gloves."

Then co-host Kelly Osbourne piled on by adding that the gloves looked like "a vet helping a calf be born."

Griffin added: "Like, she used those bovine insemination gloves to rake through her hair instead of a brush. But I'm fascinated how we're like, not supposed to make fun of her because she married the great George Clooney. Look, everybody's on the table, George. Nobody's safe, nobody gets a pass."

George Clooney received the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award during the show.

Griffin didn't get a pass either, as she received mixed reviews in her first outing as co-host.

"Griffin didn't seem in charge of the show at all when it returned Monday night – and, worse and most glaringly considering the killer heels she had to fill, she wasn't very funny either," wrote the Daily Beast.

"A note to anyone tuning into the new version of E!'s 'Fashion Police,' … Don't watch if you actually want to hear about fashion," wrote the Washington Post's Emily Yahr. "It made for a slightly uncomfortable dynamic on Monday night’s premiere, as the rest of the crew (E!'s Giuliana Rancic, correspondent Kelly Osbourne and stylist Brad Goreski) seemed to patiently wait for Griffin to finish her joke; the laugh track to roar; and then attempt some actual fashion criticism."

Doug Kaplan of the New York Daily News, though, wrote that Griffin made the most of a tough gig.

"So while Griffin was no Rivers, her acid-tongued style of honest, caustic comedy is a direct descendent," wrote Kaplan.
