I love how she exposes the excessive egocentricity of Hollywood with her hilarious rants and stories! It’s very original. What a survivor, truly inspiring that she stood up for herself like that! Love you, Kathy Xx
Kathy gets massive amount of respect from me. Her survival is inspirational. And kudos to Stephen too for giving her this platform. More power to both of them.
I love Kathy Griffin. She's a fighter. Reminds me of what the Lyndon Johnson administration did to Eartha Kitt in 1967 after she spoke out against the Vietnam war. It was 25 years before she worked in the US again. Eartha moved to Paris and had a successful career performing there and in other countries worldwide. I also remember the internet poster with Obama's head in a hangman's noose that circulated on the net for eight years and nothing happened. You go, Kathy!
@Amber Phillips-Hall sure I can understand why its upsetting and possibly inappropriate and not the way I would agree with someone using their power/fame for. However, do you understand what happened to her as a result? ----thats the point here and not sure your comment, nor my feelings makes a difference to the shocking injustice of what happened to her and many others as a result! It should be noticed and SEEN.
@Amber Phillips-Hall As a Political Science major, that is a very good description. A demagogue, is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation.[1][2][3][4] Demagogues overturn established customs of political conduct, or promise or threaten to do so. Demagoguery exploits a fundamental flaw in democracy: because power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.[5] Demagogues usually advocate immediate, forceful action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty.
@@kellietaylor9913 I think she doesn’t have a concrete way of making money like the same way a office worker would because of a contract. So she probably has to use her own money to fund her tours to make money.
I've never been a fan of her art, taste, and style of comedy, however, she has incredible tenacity and courage. I respect her ability to fight through the remarkable struggle she faced as an artist. She is a warrior, advocate and ruthless force for good.
What ? She is a warrior ? A warrior for what ? I'm sorry but when you do that kind of shit one has to know that the Feds are going to make you pay a price. Doesn't matter what President is in office. Someone does that to Obama or Bush or Clinton, the same thing is going to happen. So I don't get the faux outrage by the Left as though this woman is being persecuted. She was the victim of some either 1) Bad advice, or 2) an idiotic choice by her to do such a thing. One last thing, a ruthless force for good, you say, tell me what is this good of which you speak ?
So inspiring to see her thrive and not give up after that photo which was blown out of proportion. It's pathetic how so many of her friends and stakeholders in her business turned on her. You go, Kathy!
She did. She gave a bs apology because she knew she fucked up, then retracted when she couldn't handle the consequences, now acts all tough, shes pathetic. Then she throws Kevin hart's apology back in his face? God, you sheep are even worse for supporting such trash.
I'm not fan of Drumpf and I have zero issues with Kathy's joke. But to see her cry when people got pissed over her joke, and now her attacking Kevin Hart for his 9 years old gay jokes, just shows that she's a sucking up to Hollywood and doesn't really care about her fellow comedians. I don't like Kevin, he's highly overrated, but she's a hypocrite for attacking him for old jokes when she was walking in his shoes less than 2 years ago.
@@kristinebautz1859 TY. Idk why she's getting so much love when she sheepishly and crassly manipulates people. She strikes me as the type that will step over mother's and babies to get into the last remaining boat. I imagine she was one of those peculiar girls in high school that no one quite understood or knew how to handle then she came to Hollywood and 40 years later found that history repeated itself.
I love her. She did not deserve half of the shit she went through. Was it stupid? Of course? Did it merit such a response, and such waste of tax dollars and man hours? No, it did not. Love that announcement at the end. So, now SHE owns all her own stuff, so you are supporting her directly, not some prick in a business suit. Awesome.
I like Trump and thought it was fine. She's a comedian, shes supposed to push the boundaries. Distasteful, not really funny but I'd expect no less than from liberals. Comedy is relative.
Glad to see her back. She was always funny and is back better than ever. The way she was treated after the picture (especially compared to others with similar offensive actions of protest) was just wrong. Good for you Ms. Kathy!!
Sorry but you can't hold a bloody head of the President of the United States or of any other person even political like Hilary Clinton. Come on let's be honest!

I really like her top. Very cool. On a completely different note, she was almost charged with a federal crime for the stupid photo? So much for that American myth of "freedom of speech, and/or expression". Trump can spew hatred and suggest physical violence against anybody who disagrees with him and he gets praised and endeared by his lunatic fans, but she gets blacklisted for an OBVIOUS (and still pathetic) joke. Welcome to the world of double standards.
it's always been a myth. it just takes many years and consequences for people to wake up and see reality for what it is. by the way, imagine if she wasn't famous and she was a black guy instead. she'd probably get shot by cops, like they do on a regular basis even without the black person pulling a stunt like this.
@@btr003 *"...imagine if she wasn't famous and she was a black guy instead. she'd probably get shot by cops, like they do on a regular basis even without the black person pulling a stunt like this."* THAT is one clear indication of "white privilege" that so many Caucasians seem to be oblivious to, but it IS a reality in no uncertain terms. And I say this as a Caucasian, myself.
Freedom of speech and expression are not protected under the grounds of “direct threat” or “call to violence”. I would say holding a vivid prop of the President’s bloody severed head falls under that category even if it’s only a “joke”. Also, language within the political arena has some leeway. See Watts v. United States. Please be informed next time you decide to bitch. Thank you.
Hey, you remember Salman Rushdie? Remember how outraged Americans were because he had to go into hiding and freedom of speech and blah blah. WTF happened to the US?
@@cruiser_b9779 how can a photo of someone holding up a (realistic) Halloween mask of the president covered in ketchup be considered 'a direct threat'?! And how can a stand up comic putting a visual gag on social media ( no matter how lurid/ tasteless) be seriously considered a 'call to violence'?
@@kathrynseton1 you should be offended of having a war criminal in office. murdering countless people in the middle east, arming the saudis while the murder countless yemeni. the irony of this is just so unbelievable. what he did to her was a clear abuse of power. that filth. the universe will punish him.
The video to Marilyn Manson's song "Say10" has an image of a bloody headless torso with a long red tie lying on the ground; he stated the video was about Trump. Not a peep of controversy. This is just one example of the double standard Griffin is talking about.
Kap00rwith2os I agree about the gender bias. His image just lacked that political immediacy due to the fact that it did lack a head. The Kathy photo was really easy to target because it was more on your face (pun intended.) It was just perfect visual shock. Manson’s was more grotesque in my opinion, but he always does things in a manner where he can still deny that “it could be anyone in a red tie.” She got put through the ringer by a petty man-baby with power...
@@skonte "HoW DaRe ThEy COmPlAiN WheN wE rEpReSs ThEm" you know how else was full of hate towards women? Fascists and Nazis. The "Fine People" Individual 1 likes to quote.
Trump wouldn’t want to go head-to-head with Marilyn Manson because Mr Manson is a very intelligent man. Seriously. If you’ve never seen Marilyn Manson interviews, do yourself a favor and watch his interviews on a RUclips. There are some great ones where he gets really intellectual.
And the funny thing is only NOW are we holding him to such words. Sure, there were soft condemnations and talk about how statistically violence was on the rise, but major incidents where people pushed him on his horrid insinuations? Just recently.
@Toori Baba That is literally the basis of law and order, especially when crimes reach the scale of doing serious damage to a country. Was Kathy Griffin wrong? I'm pretty sure she told us all about it so take a wild guess. Is the president wrong? Only most of the time, and always to a lethal scale considering his position and what he incites. If we're ever going to hold republicans to the same standards as friggin' entertainers, they wouldn't be able to go one breathe without suffocating with all the wrongs they've committed and all the lives they've tortured and ended with their barbaric and selfish policies. Oh, and btw, the president is only a clown, anyway. What's the point in holding him to any standards now than before he got elected? It's the people who put him there that should face the consequences of their irresponsible actions.
This angers me so much (what she had to go through for what is clearly a joke but turned into a HUGE abuse of power by our government) but it's beautiful to me what she did in response! WAY TO GO, not only standing up for yourself but other women comedians in similar situations. Her buying all of her own content back after all of that adversity is a historical moment.

Shes being strong. But if you followed her during this ordeal you know this really broke her. She lost friends, business deals etc in world where she had already climbed to the top from being an underdog, she now had to do it again! With the world hating her and sending her sister death threats as her sister laid on her death bed dying of cancer. Kathy is tenacious. Incredible woman.
It ended up being called "My Life On the PTSD List", but yours would've been great for something immediately after or during the situation. The official title is more fitting for now, years later, since she does have PTSD unfortunately 😂
No, they're real person who abandoned her because she cut off Trump's head with blood. That's what his son saw. or other young kids. If you're willing to accept same thing happening to your kids, then ok
@@triplekillerable Um, she did not "cut off" his head. Let's get that straight, all right? I know she's a woman so she deserves your disdain, of course, that's what guys always do to women they disagree with, but let's not exaggerate what she did. She had a mask with ketchup on it. That's not the same thing as threatening to kill someone. It may have been tasteless, it may not have been funny, it may have been a lot of things, but it was not a crime, and she did not intend to do anything of the sort in real life. Meanwhile, the guy she was parodying in the Oval Office has said one terrible thing after another about any number of women and done his best to ruin their careers, including those of the women he had affairs with, and nary a peep is heard out of his fans who adore the Dear Leader. Such a double standard, it's really hard to fathom in an American president or in his devoted followers. Liberty and justice for ALL? _As if!_
@@triplekillerable No one believed that. It was in poor taste and unfunny, but no one looked at that and thought it was real. Give me a break. We are all exposed to CGI, special effects, photoshop, et al. It would take a very isolated child to believe it and a kid like that would have to be purposely exposed because they never would have come across it on their own.
I am seriously impressed that she is still among the living because to have so many people turn on you is devastating. If I could book her for a show I would in a heartbeat!
Good for Stephen for having her on. She's always been a comedienne that pushed the edge... and yeah the fake head thing went a millimeter too far. But I mean... come on... It was so obviously a rubber mask. In America we are allowed to say what we want as long as you don't advocate harm to someone and no one seriously believed she was actually advocating violence. In the end her refusal to just let her career die is inspiring. She's a fighter and I respect that.
The mindblowing part of Kathy's situation was that everyone knew it was a joke. Yes, a gross and shocking joke, but a joke nonetheless. It was not a real and true threat towards Trump needing the involvement of Homeland Security and the Feds. And yet our country's resources were spent on it. Why? To send a message to the American people of the president's reach should you displease him (just like in Russia, China, and Japan). For me that was unprecedented. In that moment everyone was put on notice as to what could happen to you if you used your freedom of speech. Why this gets even crazier is that Kathy was the only person to be attacked like this for what she did, even though the artist-photographer who came up with the idea and solicited Kathy was left alone. Why? Because Trump was just doing abuse of power because he never liked Kathy to begin with. They ran in similar Hollywood circles. So it was an ego thing and him getting the last laugh as to what he could do to her. A president using the power of office for a person vendetta is and should be far more shocking that what she did. And Kathy is right. She was not the first or only celebrity to demonstrate such an overt and suggestive move on the president. But all the others were men. Trump went after Kathy because she is a woman, whom he has zero respect anyway. Think about it for a while. What she did might have been a bit too far, but so was George Carlin just about every day. The bottom line it was a joke and everyone knew it; and yet it was treated like a real situation.
Unbelievable. She’s a comedian. As if she was a danger to the orange potus. Definitely an abuse of power. Remember the right wingers hanging Obama and the lifelike gun targets getting the same treatment? Me either.
And, some people of the West think that feminism is not necessary. I am not even a self proclaimed feminist, but this year I see more why people have made it a statement. Ridiculous what she went through but as the saying goes: All is hell that ends well. I wish her bigger success than ever before.
Funny that Bourdain said he would serve Putin and Trump hemlock (as a joke) and was merely visited by two Secret Service agents who were very polite and it ended there. Why was Griffin any different? Gee, what could it be.
It's awful that an entertainer is held to a higher standard that the president of the United States. Didn't Trump retweet photos of Hillary Clinton with crosshairs. I don't get it. Trump has really pushed the envelope on what's acceptable behavior for such a high office and the country really needs to rewrite the laws to rein in such behavior
I don't know if you can legislate bad behavior. Changing laws won't turn people into decent, civil, fair- minded citizens. That's the horrible thing about this administration- it's really just a reflection of American society- now go change society
She's gone through hell and made it thru. She's tough and driven. Kudos, Kathy Griffen! And, I had no idea that Anderson Cooper turned his back on her. How shameful.
Kathy Griffin has never been *quite* my cup of tea, but I'm enjoying seeing her talk about something with a little more substance. I'm also enjoying seeing a woman be blatantly unapologetic about free speech (even though I disapproved of the photo personally). While I don't enjoy screen-time of those who fell from grace by committing assault, in her case I'm enjoying hearing her talk business and investigation rather than behave like a 50-something in a time-out chair. If you're going to be a provocateur, own it.
@@llcooljay520 Thanks, I brought up assault because the comparison of unbookable Griffin to the #metoo unbookable actors is a natural one, but I think there's a big difference. It may not be ethically ironclad, but when it comes down to it watching a sexual assaulter being charming onscreen is a whole different level of unpleasant to me personally than a tasteless photo taker who punched up and never scared anyone and will almost certainly never make threat-jokes again.

Save your hatred for the likes of Faux News that need you to Be Upset at whomever is deemed villian-of-the-day.
This is the hardest lemonade to make from lemons. But...she did make a big lemonade, and It's nice to see Stephen give Griffin a chance to be in the public eye again. Bc after the incident, no one wanted her on their show!!
Good for her and good for us that she is taking her power back by educating herself and staying vocal! It wasn't fair what happened to her for a joke! You rock it girl!!!
This interview was great. What Donald has done to Ms Kathy Griffin is appalling. He's misused taxpayer money to fight a personal grudge. My heart breaks when I see how she tries to laugh it off but it's clear she's had to endure so much. She's a true fighter!
Although she played one all throughout the interview, she isn't the victim here. She's the assailant. I can't believe she compared what she's going through to the #METOO movement. What a awful, vile woman.
@@silverbuyer The truly reprehensible 'President' Trump abused the powers of office to engage in a personal vendetta, she was intimidated, she and her family were threatened (including the scummy folk who called her dying sister to threaten her, too), they tried to do everything they could to limit her freedom and remove her livelihood (despite thar she did not commit any crime).

@@mercywarren1728 I live in Texas and about 9 years ago I *personally* heard people (who assumed I was also racist for some reason) talk openly about a assasinating Obama to "start the race war" which many whites appear to desire, I presume to create a rationale to commit wholesale genocide against blacks which they have long desired as well as vent out long pent-up grievences and frustration through violence.
Even though she is telling the story in a light-hearted manner, this is actually terrifying. This is one of the underlying reasons this country broke away from Great Britain in the first place. Whatever your feelings are for what she did, no president of this country should have the power to destroy one of his citizens simply because that person expressed their anger towards him.
For the sake of first amendment alone, she should be back. Her photo may be a little bit harsh, but it should be protected by first amendment. This administration did abuse its power in the case of this female comedian.
1) There's the first amendment then there is incitement to violence, which is a crime. Read the constitution. She was not prosecuted, just monitored by the authorities for a while - and rightly so she should be monitored after holding a bloody severed head of of the president. 2) The administration had no say in Griffins 'monitoring,' (she was not punished at all, otherwise she's be in jail) Google the separation of powers. 3) You state she was a female - what on earth does that have to do with anything?

@@garlicknot887 Exactly. The sheer amount of hypocrisy coming out of both Colbert and Griffin is disturbing, to put it mildly. He whines and complains about how much Trump is "threatening" the free press, and constantly compares him to a third world dictator, but the second a comedian as unfunny as Kathy Griffin pulls a stunt in which she receives a two month federal investigation for conspiracy to assassinate a sitting U.S. president, he doesn't so much turn a blind eye towards the situation, but also allows her to play the victim card by listening to her go "WAAAAAAAA TRUMP RUINED MY LIIIIFFFFEEEE!!!!!" How no one sees a double standard here is beyond me. If she had just apologized and ended it there, I would've forgiven her. But for her to now go on shows like Colbert's, do a complete 360, and claim that it was Trump her decimated her career, not her own stupid, dangerous stunt that did, shows what kind of a sick character she really is. But again, no one on the left will care, because she's part of the "resistance" in their eyes. So I expect her to make assassination joke after assassination joke following this interview, and for not even Colbert to care, because her politics line up directly with his. What a match made in liberal heaven the two of them are.
She sells t-shirts with the 1st Amendment written on them but tried to dox a teenager. Kathy Grifter sucks and she's just another dainty, out-of-touch, coastal relic.
Stephen and LSSC, I am happy that you had Kathy on. Word on the street for a while was that LSSC had refused to have her on and also blackballed her due to the scandal. Water under the bridge now. Happy that you have had a change of heart and your producers have now given her a chance. Kathy is going to outlive us all and she’s a funny and smart lady. It is unfortunate that she doesn’t always get the credit she deserves. I support you Kathy. Women like you were never meant to have it easy and by hook or crook, you always rise up to the occasion.

It is because of this that her comeback is cheered. Like she says, whether you liked the photo or not, none of what followed was right.

Yes, we need to come up with a better word than "snowflake" which we took from the RW media. Snowflakes are also beautiful and unique in addition to being fragile so our new word needs to better describe dishing it out way too aggressively and yet can't take even one percent of that negative attention when its reflected at them.
We can hope. Congress specifically the Republicans in it, needs to grow a set and make laws that didn't used to be necessary because of the existence of common decency. For instance, "A president or vice president who becomes president cant pardon someone involved in a crime or conspiracy from which he personally benefitted" and "The president can't pardon his own family's crimes." " Treason against the US is unpardonable" . And most obvious, "A president can not pardon himself"

This should be a longer interview. Her journey is one #MeToo saga, which although does not involve sexual harassment, tells of a universal issue of ganging up persistently on a person mainly because she is a woman. Colbert should have Wynona Ryder as guest soon.
You do know that these late shows don't beg people to come on right? The celebrities are only there to sell their product. It's just advertising. Then they have something to promote, they beg the last shows for a spot.

@@irenemax8692 lol. Wardrobe as in whoever is in charge of pulling the celebrity's clothing before she goes on national television. Stylists tend to be hired by individuals who care enough about their appearance to hire a marketing team. I'm not saying the show asks all their guests to change. I'm saying her personal stylist did a swell job on that blouse, outfit all around I suppose. Shoes matching the belt's pop of color, etc.

@@novaquinn5323 and photos of Obama effigies being lynched is? I didn't hear the outrage from the Right back then. Kathy was abandoned by the Right *and* the Left. The public let her know what it thought at the time. Kathy herself acknowledges that the venues were well within their rights to fire her (though she rightfully points out that a male comic would probably not have suffered the same); but to charge her with conspiracy, put her on the no-fly list, *and* add her to Interpol? That's completely over the top, and a total abuse of power.

@@joe6096 Of course she did. She's a woman. Women _always_ deserve to be punished for every little thing they do, right? They should be used and abused by all you men, and all the men need to make sure they know their place.

He's _still_ revving up his fans to hate on Hillary Clinton and chant "Lock her up!" at all his rallies in spite of the fact that the FBI found nothing to charge her with. Oh, and I love how he especially is so disdainful towards black women. He always refers to them as "low IQ" or "stupid." Nice. April Ryan is a journalist he has constantly badgered.

@@wendyscott8425 When you insinuate you'd like to kill the President, I don't care if you're a man or a woman, or what the President is, you should be charged with crimes. Wendy, this has nothing to do with mysogeny or being a man or whatever politics you are. It has everything to do with simply implying you'd like to kill someone. It goes far beyond politics or right or left or man or woman. I'd be saying the exact same thing if it was a man and Hillary Clinton was President.
@@joe6096 Of _course_ it had to do with misogyny. Women are always to be "insinuated" to mean much worse than what they actually mean, they are never to be consulted about what they intended, just assumed, and the last time I checked, "implying" that you _might_ kill someone is not a crime (and it was not what Kathy did), it's not even very funny, but she is a comedienne and it was supposed to be a joke. Most of us abhor Diabolical Don who stole his way into our presidency with the help of criminals and Russians (the same thing), so it should be no surprise to anyone if some symbolism is used to express that hatred of him and his scandal-ridden White House. And you know you would not be saying anything of the kind if a _man_ did stuff like that to Hillary Clinton, which they have been doing ever since she started running. What do you think they mean when they chant, "Lock her up!" You think prison is a holiday? That chant implies she should be sodomized. Lovely. There are no charges against her and never have been, but that doesn't stop Frump fans and the "president" himself from encouraging them to do that, which is completely unacceptable since she's a private citizen now and this is not how presidents are supposed to behave towards their opponents. No other president has ever acted in such a mean and childish manner. If she were there, they'd be throwing things at her, and the "president" would probably be encouraging that, too.

Breaks my heart that she was treated this way not only by the administration but by friends and people from the industry. Don’t get why Anderson Cooper was so upset about it.

The artists and the labor activists.

Between luftwaffe raids, summary executions by ss/gestapo occupiers, and the camps I don't know if any of my extended family that didn't flee lived. All of my relatives that were alive and old enough to have clear recollections of and first hand information related to that time passed before I was able to ask them anything. All my grandparents and orher relattives that fled as small children would say was everyone that didn't run was either killed by the bombs or rounded up and murdered one way or another and that was that. Realizing just how easily it could happen again here no matter how much we try to tell ourselves different has been one of the hardest parts of the last few years.

It’s a personality flaw That’s what we’ve been seeing in him since Channel One We knew something wasn’t right about Anderson Cooper but we just ignored it Now we can’t
What happened to Kathy is a damned shame. It was an outright and forceful assault on the first amendment of the US constitution, but as we have seen since then, the administration of the moment cares naught for laws and rights. I love Kathy's work, and I hope I get to see her perform in person someday soon!
I was never a big fan of Kathy but I'm happy to hear about redemption. She's earned much respect from me after this interview. Don't let the man bring you down Kathy!
I don't watch her, but I seriously love Kathy. And I actually liked that photo. It fits with the anger we feel toward that orange we have for a president. I'd go to a show, honestly. I still respect her, despite the picture's backlash.

Kathy gets massive amount of respect from me. Her survival is inspirational. And kudos to Stephen too for giving her this platform. More power to both of them.
I love Kathy Griffin. She's a fighter. Reminds me of what the Lyndon Johnson administration did to Eartha Kitt in 1967 after she spoke out against the Vietnam war. It was 25 years before she worked in the US again. Eartha moved to Paris and had a successful career performing there and in other countries worldwide. I also remember the internet poster with Obama's head in a hangman's noose that circulated on the net for eight years and nothing happened. You go, Kathy!
Great post. I forgot about Eartha Kitt. Another abuse of power moment.

@Amber Phillips-Hall As a Political Science major, that is a very good description. A demagogue, is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignorance among the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation.[1][2][3][4] Demagogues overturn established customs of political conduct, or promise or threaten to do so.
Demagoguery exploits a fundamental flaw in democracy: because power is held by the people, it is possible for the people to give that power to someone who appeals to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the population.[5] Demagogues usually advocate immediate, forceful action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty.

And I say this as a Caucasian, myself.
Freedom of speech and expression are not protected under the grounds of “direct threat” or “call to violence”. I would say holding a vivid prop of the President’s bloody severed head falls under that category even if it’s only a “joke”. Also, language within the political arena has some leeway. See Watts v.

Only most of the time, and always to a lethal scale considering his position and what he incites. If we're ever going to hold republicans to the same standards as friggin' entertainers, they wouldn't be able to go one breathe without suffocating with all the wrongs they've committed and all the lives they've tortured and ended with their barbaric and selfish policies.
Oh, and btw, the president is only a clown, anyway. What's the point in holding him to any standards now than before he got elected? It's the people who put him there that should face the consequences of their irresponsible actions.

In the end her refusal to just let her career die is inspiring. She's a fighter and I respect that.
And she persevered!!! Kathy is back and killing it in her own way!
YES she did
The mindblowing part of Kathy's situation was that everyone knew it was a joke. Yes, a gross and shocking joke, but a joke nonetheless. It was not a real and true threat towards Trump needing the involvement of Homeland Security and the Feds. And yet our country's resources were spent on it. Why? To send a message to the American people of the president's reach should you displease him (just like in Russia, China, and Japan). For me that was unprecedented. In that moment everyone was put on notice as to what could happen to you if you used your freedom of speech. Why this gets even crazier is that Kathy was the only person to be attacked like this for what she did, even though the artist-photographer who came up with the idea and solicited Kathy was left alone. Why? Because Trump was just doing abuse of power because he never liked Kathy to begin with. They ran in similar Hollywood circles. So it was an ego thing and him getting the last laugh as to what he could do to her. A president using the power of office for a person vendetta is and should be far more shocking that what she did. And Kathy is right. She was not the first or only celebrity to demonstrate such an overt and suggestive move on the president. But all the others were men. Trump went after Kathy because she is a woman, whom he has zero respect anyway. Think about it for a while. What she did might have been a bit too far, but so was George Carlin just about every day. The bottom line it was a joke and everyone knew it; and yet it was treated like a real situation.

Ridiculous what she went through but as the saying goes: All is hell that ends well. I wish her bigger success than ever before.
That's one hell of a lemonade story. This cowardly fascist we have in the White House has to go.
When you hang yourself on election night 2020, remember I predicted it.
She should be happy to have those 67% of friends left her life and never came back! You just don’t need fake friends in your life Kathy!
MSK agree
75% . ?
Maybe those 67% knew she did something in poor taste...I agree with you...those 67% don't need someone like Griffin in their life....
Yep, now you know who your real friends are. How fortunate!
This was honestly pretty tragic, but she's so honest about it.

Totally agree!
It's awful that an entertainer is held to a higher standard that the president of the United States. Didn't Trump retweet photos of Hillary Clinton with crosshairs. I don't get it. Trump has really pushed the envelope on what's acceptable behavior for such a high office and the country really needs to rewrite the laws to rein in such behavior
America is doomed. Thanks republicans .
Good point!
I don't know if you can legislate bad behavior. Changing laws won't turn people into decent, civil, fair- minded citizens. That's the horrible thing about this administration- it's really just a reflection of American society- now go change society
He did? I never heard of that one. Can you give a source?
@@eme.261 If it is, just give me the link. I googled "trump hillary crosshair" and didn't find anything.
She's gone through hell and made it thru. She's tough and driven. Kudos, Kathy Griffen! And, I had no idea that Anderson Cooper turned his back on her. How shameful.
Kathy Griffin has never been *quite* my cup of tea, but I'm enjoying seeing her talk about something with a little more substance. I'm also enjoying seeing a woman be blatantly unapologetic about free speech (even though I disapproved of the photo personally). While I don't enjoy screen-time of those who fell from grace by committing assault, in her case I'm enjoying hearing her talk business and investigation rather than behave like a 50-something in a time-out chair. If you're going to be a provocateur, own it.
St. Rhinocéros I like your use of “provocateur”. It fits better in this context than assault.
@@llcooljay520 Thanks, I brought up assault because the comparison of unbookable Griffin to the #metoo unbookable actors is a natural one, but I think there's a big difference. It may not be ethically ironclad, but when it comes down to it watching a sexual assaulter being charming onscreen is a whole different level of unpleasant to me personally than a tasteless photo taker who punched up and never scared anyone and will almost certainly never make threat-jokes again.
She lost 75% of her friends?? Damn, these showbiz types aren't loyal at all 🤦🏽♂️

This interview was great. What Donald has done to Ms Kathy Griffin is appalling. He's misused taxpayer money to fight a personal grudge. My heart breaks when I see how she tries to laugh it off but it's clear she's had to endure so much. She's a true fighter!
Although she played one all throughout the interview, she isn't the victim here. She's the assailant. I can't believe she compared what she's going through to the #METOO movement. What a awful, vile woman.
silver buyer ~Thanks for taking a moment away from playing with your micropenis. I hear trump's hiring😆
@@silverbuyer The truly reprehensible 'President' Trump abused the powers of office to engage in a personal vendetta, she was intimidated, she and her family were threatened (including the scummy folk who called her dying sister to threaten her, too), they tried to do everything they could to limit her freedom and remove her livelihood (despite thar she did not commit any crime).
Yes, a victim......of the truly nasty side of Trump and his team.

@@mercywarren1728 I live in Texas and about 9 years ago I *personally* heard people (who assumed I was also racist for some reason) talk openly about a assasinating Obama to "start the race war" which many whites appear to desire, I presume to create a rationale to commit wholesale genocide against blacks which they have long desired as well as vent out long pent-up grievences and frustration through violence.
Even though she is telling the story in a light-hearted manner, this is actually terrifying. This is one of the underlying reasons this country broke away from Great Britain in the first place. Whatever your feelings are for what she did, no president of this country should have the power to destroy one of his citizens simply because that person expressed their anger towards him.
Yes, true. I love her. Her and Robin Thied sound alike, their voices.
He is the most petulant person that ever resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in modern history.
@Slick Rick Oh shut up. Jesus, you're tiresome.
Well. It’s illegal….duh👹
For the sake of first amendment alone, she should be back. Her photo may be a little bit harsh, but it should be protected by first amendment. This administration did abuse its power in the case of this female comedian.
1) There's the first amendment then there is incitement to violence, which is a crime. Read the constitution. She was not prosecuted, just monitored by the authorities for a while - and rightly so she should be monitored after holding a bloody severed head of of the president.
2) The administration had no say in Griffins 'monitoring,' (she was not punished at all, otherwise she's be in jail) Google the separation of powers.
3) You state she was a female - what on earth does that have to do with anything?

#LateShow
Nah she's a cringe fest. Only feminists and beta males enjoy her
@@garlicknot887 Exactly. The sheer amount of hypocrisy coming out of both Colbert and Griffin is disturbing, to put it mildly. He whines and complains about how much Trump is "threatening" the free press, and constantly compares him to a third world dictator, but the second a comedian as unfunny as Kathy Griffin pulls a stunt in which she receives a two month federal investigation for conspiracy to assassinate a sitting U.S. president, he doesn't so much turn a blind eye towards the situation, but also allows her to play the victim card by listening to her go "WAAAAAAAA TRUMP RUINED MY LIIIIFFFFEEEE!!!!!" How no one sees a double standard here is beyond me. If she had just apologized and ended it there, I would've forgiven her. But for her to now go on shows like Colbert's, do a complete 360, and claim that it was Trump her decimated her career, not her own stupid, dangerous stunt that did, shows what kind of a sick character she really is. But again, no one on the left will care, because she's part of the "resistance" in their eyes. So I expect her to make assassination joke after assassination joke following this interview, and for not even Colbert to care, because her politics line up directly with his. What a match made in liberal heaven the two of them are.
@@garlicknot887 You're a douche.
She sells t-shirts with the 1st Amendment written on them but tried to dox a teenager. Kathy Grifter sucks and she's just another dainty, out-of-touch, coastal relic.
Gavin C: Better to be a feminist and a beta male than a cuckservative shit that would gladly bend over for Russia.
Stephen and LSSC, I am happy that you had Kathy on. Word on the street for a while was that LSSC had refused to have her on and also blackballed her due to the scandal. Water under the bridge now. Happy that you have had a change of heart and your producers have now given her a chance.
Kathy is going to outlive us all and she’s a funny and smart lady. It is unfortunate that she doesn’t always get the credit she deserves.

E.R. But she is lying about Anderson “Anderson cooper called me disgusting”
No. He never did. He said the photoshoot Kathy participated in was disgusting but he still considered her a friend. In fact Kathy herself told Howard stern that Anderson texted him multiple times last August. So which Kathy am I supposed to believe? In her cut magazine feature she says she was hurt that Anderson was publicly calling her a friend even though they were not on talking terms. And that she told him their friendship was over when he texted her multiple times trying to reach out. What is the truth? Which Kathy am I supposed to believe?
@@roonil3931 I don't know or feel the need to get between Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin. The parties themselves and possibly the gossip blogs will sort it all out. For regular Americans, the beef between those two are SO irrelevant next to the outrageous and cowardly way the administration and her industry treated her. It is because of this that her comeback is cheered. Like she says, whether you liked the photo or not, none of what followed was right.
I wonder what Joan rivers would say about this mess?
Joan Rivers would have stood by her unlike the pathetic Anderson Cooper and the rest that abandoned her.
Just watch the roast
she would go off
Joan rivers said trump would be an excellent president. So theres that.

@@silverbuyer She didn't say that she's on a same level as a metoo victim. But she is a victim. There was no need to treat her like a terrorist. Everyone knew that she was not going to kill anyone. That was just pure evil vengeance from Trump. US is in a very very bad shape if you are treated like a terrorist after you publish a photo of a mask covered with ketchup.

Yes, we need to come up with a better word than "snowflake" which we took from the RW media. Snowflakes are also beautiful and unique in addition to being fragile so our new word needs to better describe dishing it out way too aggressively and yet can't take even one percent of that negative attention when its reflected at them.
Quite ironic that Don Jr is giving her shit, when he's going to spend a long time in jail. Well done Kathy, brilliant resilience.
Really? What's that idiot saying now?
We can hope. Congress specifically the Republicans in it, needs to grow a set and make laws that didn't used to be necessary because of the existence of common decency. For instance, "A president or vice president who becomes president cant pardon someone involved in a crime or conspiracy from which he personally benefitted" and "The president can't pardon his own family's crimes." " Treason against the US is unpardonable" . And most obvious, "A president can not pardon himself"
You're dreaming!! You will be spending time in jail, before Don Jr.!!
@@barbaramartino8108 Really, Babs? You think commenters on this channel are "going to be in jail before Don Jr"?
Given that many many members of Trump's family and his team are under investigation or already in jail, are cooperating witnesses, have already been caught out trying to decieve the electorate and obstruct justice........it is far, FAR more likely that Don Jr faces a future in jail.

This should be a longer interview. Her journey is one #MeToo saga, which although does not involve sexual harassment, tells of a universal issue of ganging up persistently on a person mainly because she is a woman. Colbert should have Wynona Ryder as guest soon.
You do know that these late shows don't beg people to come on right? The celebrities are only there to sell their product.
It's just advertising. Then they have something to promote, they beg the last shows for a spot.

The misogynist-in-chief has certainly done his best to put all the women in their places, especially those who have the audacity to run against him or criticize him, right? He's _still_ revving up his fans to hate on Hillary Clinton and chant "Lock her up!" at all his rallies in spite of the fact that the FBI found nothing to charge her with. Oh, and I love how he especially is so disdainful towards black women. He always refers to them as "low IQ" or "stupid." Nice. April Ryan is a journalist he has constantly badgered. He can say anything he likes no matter how hateful or dangerous to others because he's a man. Liberty and justice for all? Ha! As your post so obviously demonstrates.
@@wendyscott8425 When you insinuate you'd like to kill the President, I don't care if you're a man or a woman, or what the President is, you should be charged with crimes. Wendy, this has nothing to do with mysogeny or being a man or whatever politics you are. It has everything to do with simply implying you'd like to kill someone. It goes far beyond politics or right or left or man or woman. I'd be saying the exact same thing if it was a man and Hillary Clinton was President.
@@joe6096 Of _course_ it had to do with misogyny. Women are always to be "insinuated" to mean much worse than what they actually mean, they are never to be consulted about what they intended, just assumed, and the last time I checked, "implying" that you _might_ kill someone is not a crime (and it was not what Kathy did), it's not even very funny, but she is a comedienne and it was supposed to be a joke. Most of us abhor Diabolical Don who stole his way into our presidency with the help of criminals and Russians (the same thing), so it should be no surprise to anyone if some symbolism is used to express that hatred of him and his scandal-ridden White House. And you know you would not be saying anything of the kind if a _man_ did stuff like that to Hillary Clinton, which they have been doing ever since she started running. What do you think they mean when they chant, "Lock her up!" You think prison is a holiday? That chant implies she should be sodomized. Lovely. There are no charges against her and never have been, but that doesn't stop Frump fans and the "president" himself from encouraging them to do that, which is completely unacceptable since she's a private citizen now and this is not how presidents are supposed to behave towards their opponents. No other president has ever acted in such a mean and childish manner. If she were there, they'd be throwing things at her, and the "president" would probably be encouraging that, too.

It’s been a scary time for Kathy and very unnessecarily so. Glad to see her thriving and taking ownership of the story and her life’s work!
Cnn runs scared of anything that rips on trump cause of all the "fake news" crap.
Yeah... Breaks my heart too that Harvey Weinstein was treated so unfairly by friends...
Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted people. I’d say that’s very different from holding a mask with ketchup in a photograph.
@@jessreallywantsitall yeah but he was so prominent in the Hollywood crowd... How could they treat him that way... His friends all turned their backs on him.
Show Bob's. Send dunes. LOL yeah Hollywood turning its back on people. Shocking.
They always string up the artists first.
Yup. Rapists are in the supreme court. A treasonous paedophile in the white house... but hey comedians can't crack jokes.
The artists and the labor activists. My family (which had a lot of left leaning labor activists and/or artistic types) That didn't flee Holland prior to the nazi regime terrorizing Europe were as far as I know killed to a man. Between luftwaffe raids, summary executions by ss/gestapo occupiers, and the camps I don't know if any of my extended family that didn't flee lived. All of my relatives that were alive and old enough to have clear recollections of and first hand information related to that time passed before I was able to ask them anything. All my grandparents and orher relattives that fled as small children would say was everyone that didn't run was either killed by the bombs or rounded up and murdered one way or another and that was that. Realizing just how easily it could happen again here no matter how much we try to tell ourselves different has been one of the hardest parts of the last few years. As much as I miss them I am grateful my Opa and Oma didn't live to see the recent times in America, the way this would have crushed them...it makes me cry just thinking about it.
Agent Fungus Wow, thanks for sharing, the polish people amaze me. They are so hardworking and kind, and it's truly inspiring to visit their communities abroad and especially Poland itself and see how they have carried on after so much tragedy and struggle. I love the general comedic sensibility as well, and oh man the food, especially the cabbage rolls and the baked goodies! Makowiec is one of my favorite things ever, so good with a bit of coffee or hot tea.:)
malimillions But she is lying about Anderson “Anderson cooper called me disgusting”
No. He never did. He said the photoshoot Kathy participated in was disgusting but he still considered her a friend. In fact Kathy herself told Howard stern that Anderson texted him multiple times last August. So which Kathy am I supposed to believe? In her cut magazine feature she says she was hurt that Anderson was publicly calling her a friend even though they were not on talking terms. And that she told him their friendship was over when he texted her multiple times trying to reach out. What is the truth? Which Kathy am I supposed to believe?
Kathy Griffin is incredible. She's so strong and so funny and so inspiring. I adore her. ❤
Hah. This aged like fine milk
I've never understood why Anderson Cooper turned his back on her. What about all those years of friendship? I don't get it.
He's made it clear. He's a disloyal piece of shit.
Are Hollywood "friendships rea"l?
well cooper has to portray a serious image due to his job, in order to do that he felt the need to get away from the "psycho"
He caved to pressure from CNN & I see it as a big mistake on his part. A VERY short sighted decision. I bet that hurt her a lot, personally even more than professionally.
It’s a personality flaw That’s what we’ve been seeing in him since Channel One We knew something wasn’t right about Anderson Cooper but we just ignored it Now we can’t
What happened to Kathy is a damned shame. It was an outright and forceful assault on the first amendment of the US constitution, but as we have seen since then, the administration of the moment cares naught for laws and rights. I love Kathy's work, and I hope I get to see her perform in person someday soon!
Kathy has more balls than most men 👍💪👏
I'd agree with that statement 100%
She has ovaries of steel!!
NO! She NEEDS serious MENTAL HELP and should have been locked up
Se does have balls, and based on her looks, has a penis too....!
Her face is balls.
I was never a big fan of Kathy but I'm happy to hear about redemption. She's earned much respect from me after this interview. Don't let the man bring you down Kathy!
She brought herself down. He didn't even have to open his mouth. What a fool!
Kathy! So proud of you! You are an inspiration 👏👏👏💖
You have very very low standards.
She’s a survivor and believes in freedom of speech. Good for her.
I've always liked Kathy Griffin. It's great to see her fight power successfully.
Ironically,she was telling the truth,and people are NOW seeing it.
good to have you back Kathy! you go girl!!!
She is a FIERCE QUEEN. I stand by her completely. WERQ HUN. WE LOVE U
You're batshit crazy also
She tried doxing a teenager lol
She's not even funny.
@@common_sense_supreme honestly funnier than u, babe
@@The-Autistic-Rat Good, they deserved it
Trump has always felt threatened by women. Mommy issues!
Eric Burton Which is why he lives out his Oedipus fantasies with whomever he can bed.
Haha
Exactly. If he can't control them by hiring them or sleeping with them he goes on the attack.
Do you think, mommy spanked Spanky not enough or too much 🤔🤔🤔
Only losers consider that "mommy issues". It's just that he experienced too many women to know what is really behind the majority.
I don't watch her, but I seriously love Kathy. And I actually liked that photo. It fits with the anger we feel toward that orange we have for a president. I'd go to a show, honestly. I still respect her, despite the picture's backlash.
Kathy Griffin is amazing!! If you enjoy the way she sees the world then you'll be entertained. If you don't enjoy her view, there are plenty of other comedians to choose from.
They threw everything they had at her and she’s still slaying it-making people laugh- all while wearing high heels.
