Kathy Griffin's Campaign Strategy for Levi Johnston: Go Shirtless

Move over, Jimmy Kimmel. Kathy Griffin is gunning to be Levi Johnston's campaign manager as he runs for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, and she even has a strategy all dreamed up.

"The campaign would be based on me being the first lady," the comedian, who once feigned a relationship with Johnston for laughs, told People magazine. "But it would also be based on a celebration of Levi trolling the town shirtless – or being photographed in the shower in various stages of undress."

While Kimmel offered his services (in jest) a week ago, Griffin points out that the former Playgirl model's mayoral bid is less about "pomp and circumstance" and more about "pomp and naked stance."

While Franklin Roosevelt had his Fireside Chats, Griffin foresees something less formal – and less-clothed – during Johnston's potential term.

"We would probably do shower chats," she says, while attending the Audi & Chopard Pre-Emmy Party at Cecconi's in Beverly Hills, "semi-nude, or nude, from our place in Wasilla. Frankly, I think that's his ticket."

Jimmy Kimmel Wants to Be Levi Johnston's Campaign Manager

Jimmy Kimmel is not afraid to take a political stance on his late-night talk show.

On Thursday's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the funnyman welcomed Levi Johnston by announcing that "He is to Sarah Palin what voicemail is to Mel Gibson," and proceeded to give the Wasilla, Alaska, mayoral candidate a collection of campaign gear.

"I would love to see you become the mayor," Kimmel insisted as he brought out several items with various campaign slogans. "I really would."

He showcased a blue baseball cap with "The Thrilla from Wasilla" on the front, a red, white and blue pin with "Wassup Wasilla?" written on it, followed by a bumper sticker reading "Elect me Mayor or I'll Date all Your Daughters." The final piece was a lawn sign with the words "Levi for Mayor – I'll Do the Job Naked" emblazoned on it.

But Kimmel admitted the gifts were an attempt to gain favor with Johnston, who, during the show, insisted he is up for the job, saying, "I think I would be the best mayor I can be."

"So whaddya think? Can I be part of the team?" Kimmel pleaded.

"I think I might make you campaign manager," Johnston replied. As for potential votes from the family of his former fiancé, he's not counting on the Palins. After the last breakup with Bristol, he says, "I think they kinda kicked me out now … permanently. "

Look Out, Wasilla: Levi Johnston Eyes Run for Mayor

Some people will do anything for attention – including running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

The latest hopeful to toss his hat into the ring? None other than reality-star wannabe Levi Johnston, who hopes his campaign will attract viewers to his proposed TV reality show.

Johnston, 20, has paired with the veteran reality firm Stone and Co., already responsible for TLC's Extreme Food Sculpting, to pitch a Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office pilot, the production company confirms to The Hollywood Reporter.

Those with memory loss may need to be reminded that Johnston's almost mother-in-law, Sarah Palin, was mayor of the small town (population 10,000) from 1992-2002, before becoming governor of the state.

Not that Levi appears to be seeking higher office. Besides tracking the former Playgirl model on the campaign trail, his show would also offer an inside look at his being a father to his 19-month-old son (with Bristol Palin) Tripp and his quest for a Hollywood career.

Speaking to Variety, Johnston said it was the producers' idea – not his – to add the run for mayor to the show. Already hobnobbing in Hollywood, Johnston attended last Sunday's Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles.

Earlier, there had been talk of Johnston and Bristol Palin's sharing their wedding and early married life with a reality-TV camera crew, but that potential plan went up in smoke when the two young parents went their separate ways last week.
