'Had to run': Kathy Griffin recalls 'controversial' joke

Kathy Griffin has been cracking jokes on her tours, which sometimes do not amuse people. But there was a time when it got so bad that she recalls having to run out of the theatre.

In a chat with People, she remembers, “I change my act every night and always start with local jokes."

The star continues, “Once, I read out the local offender list during a show and had to run out of the theater. I called Cher after, and she just said, ‘Get home, bitch. Get back to Malibu.’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Kathy shares that she contacted Jimmy Kimmel after his late-night show was suspended over Charlie Kirk's comments.

“It’s been triggering for me because Jimmy was the only one who still had me on his show when everyone else said I was too dangerous,” she says, referring to her incident back in 2017 when she posted a fake severed head of Donald Trump.

It is worth noting that her latest comedy tour, New Face, New Tour, will kick off on November 8.
