Red-haired comedienne Kathy Griffin will take Joan Rivers’ place critiquing celebrities’ outfits on E! She and Brad Goreski will join the cast of “Fashion Police” next year when the show returns to TV.

According to E! News, the channel decided on Griffin as the perfect replacement for the razor-tongued Rivers, who passed away in September after complications from surgery. She and Goreski will join Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic when “Fashion Police” returns on Monday, Jan. 12, 2015. The show will return with 17 new episodes after being on hiatus following Rivers’ passing.

"Not only was Joan a trailblazer, she was also a dear friend and mentor to Kathy, who will no doubt continue her legacy and do the series justice by bringing her own unique comedic style and tell-it-like-it-is personality to the host chair," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Programming and Development at E!

Melissa Rivers, the show’s executive producer, welcomed the decision to pick Griffin.

"Kathy just feels right, and Brad brings a fun, new voice to join Giuliana and Kelly in this ensemble,” she said. "I'm excited to see where this panel takes this series my mother so adored in this next incarnation."

Griffin, who had hinted at joining the show’s cast earlier this month, expressed her excitement with her usual demeanor.

"I get it! These are some big shoes I'm going to fill. Joan was truly one of a kind. Now I hope you will accept me for me. I'm just Kathy,” she said. “Did I say I'm just Kathy? I meant I'm Kathy F***ing Griffin and you celebrities better strap yourself in, as I am taking no prisoners. I am not holding back so DAMMIT let's have some fun!"

Goreski, who is replacing original cast member George Kotsiopoulos, is also excited to join the show. He expressed his excitement on Twitter.
