Kathy Griffin has some choice words for fellow comedian Stephen Colbert.
Griffin argued Tuesday on her show “Talk Your Head Off” that the 2018 “Late Show” interview she had with Colbert was a “bullshit ambush” over the infamous photo she took a year earlier with a bloodied prop of President Donald Trump’s head.
“I didn’t want them to be aware of what was really happening,” she said about Colbert’s audience. “Because what was really happening was a bullshit ambush. But I thought that was such a low blow. And there’s a thing in comedy called punching up or punching down.”
“I’m very much on the D-list. Everybody knows that,” Griffin explained, adding: “And Stephen Colbert is an A-list comic. He has accomplished just about everything you can as a comedian and he’s wildly talented and he’s obviously very bright, but man — what a dick.”
Griffin faced widespread criticism after posing for photographer Tyler Shields with the fake Trump head. She was not only fired as co-host of CNN’s New Year’s Eve programming but also questioned by the Secret Service — and faced potential criminal charges.
