Leave it to Kathy Griffin to put her own naked spin on a good cause.

The 53-year-old comedienne took off her clothes and stood completely naked while accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Kathy, who shared the revealing video on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday, was nominated to do the icy feat by not one but five famous friends.

'Financial guru and friend Suze Orman challenged me to do it naked,' Kathy told KImmel, adding: 'And, I swear, the same day Aubrey Plaza from Parks And Recreation, A.J. McLean from Backstreet Boys, photographer Tyler Shields,. comedian Margaret Cho, all in one day.

'I didn't know how to handle it. I thought I should take it up a notch,' the redhead explained.

'And you certainly did,' Kimmel conceded.

In the video Kathy was seen swimming in a pool without a stitch of clothing on, telling the camera: 'Okay, Suze Orman, I decided to take you up on the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and do it naked.

'I don't really know why you wanted me to be naked for this but I will do anything for the cause,' she added good-naturedly while stepping out of the water in red high heels. 

'I'm going to keep my shoes on sorry but I'm a classy lady. I also invited two friends who challenged me. From the Backstreet Boys, A.J. McLean, from Parks And Recreation Aubrey Plaza.

Who's idea was this: Kathy said it was Suze who suggested she do the challenge in the nude, saying: 'I don't really know why you wanted me to be naked for this but I will do anything for the cause'

'You douche bags also nominated me so go ahead and do it,' the comedienne instructed.

Kathy shivered as A.J. and Aubrey strolled to either side of her and both poured buckets of ice water over her head.

Aubrey continued to rub ice on Kathy's body before the stand-up comic pushed A.J. into the pool.

'Got him!' Kathy cheered triumphantly.

She and Aubrey did a friendly high five as A.J. soaked it up in the pool.

Aubrey looked at the camera and, making a not-so-nice gesture, yelled out, 'F**k you, ALS'
