Kathy Griffin Destroys News Anchor Who Questioned Her Claim About Female Comedians In Resurfaced Clip

Kathy Griffin Destroys News Anchor Who Questioned Her Claim About Female Comedians In Resurfaced Clip

Kathy Griffin lost most to all of her gigs after she tweeted a photo of her holding a facsimile of Donald Trump's severed head in 2017, back before we fully knew what chaos the then-newly-inaugurated President would bring to the nation.

But that does not mean she is not still active as a comedian.


In 2019, Griffin made a film called Kathy Griffin: A Hell Story that premiered at the DTLA film festival. She stopped by KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles to promote the film.

A 43-second clip has re-surfaced after two years in which Griffin has to repeatedly tell a male news anchor that she doesn't care about his take on whether or not comedy is a male dominated industry.


She also asks him to name five women in comedy, to which he can only sheepishly reply:

"Uhh, I'm not, uh, into the comedy thing."





"I spend most of my day trying to talk to older white guys and explain I just want to do what I do," she continued, talking about the lack of career opportunities in front of her after the Trump photo.

"I don't feel like, no matter how you feel about me or the photo, nobody in America should have the president and the Department of Justice make it so that they're not employable or insurable."





Griffin has called out the lack of female representation in comedy before.

And some of the misogynistic comments on both this thread above and the Twitter thread that contains this news segment more than prove Griffin's point.





Griffin's resume speaks for Itself when it comes to the authority she has to speak on these things. No man will stand in the way of that.

Fox News Host Apologizes After His Suggestion That Homeless People Be Euthanized Sparks Outrage

Fox and Friends host Brian Kilmeade was criticized for suggesting that homeless people with mental health issues get "involuntary lethal injection" after the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina—and was swiftly condemned for an insincere apology several days after the fact as many are calling for Fox News to terminate his contract.

Zarutska was stabbed to death at the East/West Boulevard station on the Lynx Blue Line in Charlotte last month; her killer, a homeless man with a history of mental health issues, has since been charged with first-degree murder.

Nancy Mace Just Tried To Claim She's Never 'Dehumanized' Her Colleagues—And The Internet Brought The Receipts

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was called out for hypocrisy after she claimed on CNN that Democrats in Congress have been "dehumanizing" Republicans, a move she would "never" do—despite her record of doing just that.

Speaking to anchor Katie Bolduan while the search for the suspect who killed far-right activist Charlie Kirk was ongoing, Mace objected to Bolduan's observation that she was using "us v. them" language, only saying that things are "very one-sided right now." She also suggested that the situation is so bad for her that she's actually afraid of "just walking out in public."
