So, I checked out the church through which Kathy Griffin was ordained and applied for ordination myself. Here’s the response I got back:
This is to confirm that Rachel Richardson has been ordained as a minister of the Universal Life Church, Modesto, California.
Date of Ordination: 3/10/2008
by Kevin Andrews, Pastor

The Universal Life Church is a “regularly established church or congregation” and all ordinations are done as the deliberate, thoughtful, and responsible act of a human being, not by a computer. The church holds regular meetings every Sunday morning in Modesto, and has congregations in all 50 states of the USA as well as countries throughout the world.
As a minister, you are authorized by the church to perform all peaceful rites and ceremonies of the church, including weddings, funerals, baptisms, blessings, and to preach, teach and hold meetings. You are entitled to all privileges and courtesies normally offered to members of the clergy.
