Kathy Griffin, the 64-year-old comedian, walked down memory lane and talked about her ex-boyfriend, Jack Black, in a recent video. They reportedly dated in the 1990s.

Seeing an old picture of her and Jack, she recalled her past about her first boyfriend and shared:

"This is a picture of me and my then-boyfriend, Jack Black, who you probably know mostly from School of Rock."

Talking more about her first relationship, Kathy Griffin continued:

"So he was the first boyfriend I ever had where other bros thought I was cool because I was dating him. By the way, dating is a very loose term."

Recently, Kathy reminisced about those days and shared a fun shower incident. According to a People magazine report, she visited Jack's apartment in Vermont once and had to take a shower. While she asked for a shower towel during her stay, Black responded with:

"You're standing on it."
