I remember meeting her in Kuwait as we transitioned back from Iraq. She sat down and just chatted with us for hours. No hype, no jokes, just a sweet Kathy hanging out with some battle worn soldiers. She had an opinion and she expressed herself, but she’s a true patriot. Kinda ironic she had the balls to go to a war zone but the lump she made fun of didn’t.
So TRUE! Thanks for saying this and thank YOU for YOUR service. ( My two sons were in Kuwait after Iraq as well… I understand your sacrifice first hand . ❤️)
Watching this two years after it was posted and she was definitely one of the forest to really call things out… so smart, so courageous. A true hero and an inspiration. Love you Kathy.
@Cristobal have you seen the interview with Zain Menaji (I believe I spelled that incorrectly) they have great back and forth, and she seemed more relaxed in Canada lol
BUILD, you have to mic the audience. It's really not cool to have a comedian on and be unable to hear the audience react. They add laugh tracks to shows for a reason.
Yup, this b has been to Iraq and Afghanistan several times, everywhere all over the bible belt far over a decade ago! She's always been fearless and charitable!
@@juliencastle2953 She's gone to war zones with bombs going off in the background just to entertain the troops. And this was like early to mid 2000s. I'd say that's pretty fearless not some political bs.
@@juliencastle2953 She took huge risks, she had to drive along paths where US military cars had been bombed just prior, she's seen more sh!t than most Americans. And these were still war zones so it's delusional for you to minimize it.
@@juliencastle2953 Thanks for agreeing with me, and no one is saying she took the exact same risk as someone actually fighting in a war so who are you arguing with?? You keep nitpicking to diminish her actual risk and her actual fearlessness to do something most people would never do. She still went to SEVERAL war zones just to entertain the troops.
Netflix is also in serious debt, and there are other online streaming services to compete. I dont think they would risk Trump's childish wrath directed towards them.
@@firstnamelastname6193 Don't fucking lie. Most of her gay friends didn't stand up for her. Leftist LGBTs turned against her because they know nothing about morals or being grateful. She did nothing wrong her tweet was political but racist people see the word ape and think of black people. Her tweet exposed who's really racist and it's not her. Progressives ruined the most progressive show for decades.
So has Trump. All while the Clintons, Obama, and the rest of the demoscum said that marriage is between a man and a woman, Trump supported gay rights and marriage from the beginning. Trump is on video supporting gays in the 80's, the Clintons and Obamas sang a different tune in 2008
@ I guess you weren't paying attention. Trump has supported gays and gay marriage for decades while Obama only "changed" his mind because it was politically expedient for him to do so.
I was ok watching this as a dark comedian myself commenting through a ghost account, but 37:40 broke me. you can hear her voice shake when shes mentioning "I love every minute of it. I do every show like its my last, because it might be..*laughs to lighten it* ". after what shes been through after the mask and ketchup ordeal, which i've been with her through for years, i can't imagine how she truly feels without mentioning all jokes aside, fully knowing what these "powerful" people get away with so you have to fight fire with fire or they will permanently extinguish you.. i truly think shes become a little rightfully paranoid that shes always being watched with a red dot on her forehead simply turned invisible but trailing her. I mean fuck..these days half of us normal people get paranoid too given the environments we've become products of. WE LOVE YOU BITCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. we all gon get through this. like you said, its gonna be messy for now, but it has to be to reset things to an okay state.
What did she do that is ballsy? Dissing a media mogul who already was fired and cancelled and an other media mogul that will not invite her anyway is not risky. Sam with the trump pic, she thought she would have a big buzz and it went further but nobody imagined it could get that annoying. She's funny but not specially ballsy here.
@@juliencastle2953 I don't just mean in the context of this interview. Kathy's behaviour throughout her life, the way she's handled the storm of protest since the Trump picture and the way she continues to find ways to thrive despite continued attacks from prominent Trumptards and those in the media. There are many people who would crumble after receiving death threats and that level of vicious scrutiny yet Kathy still speaks out against the Trump administration and their treatment of immigrants, women and LGBT people. I'm sure she'd have a much easier life if she just kept her mouth shut yet she refuses to be silenced.
@@bweb6 I understand your view but I disagree tbh lol. I don't think it's so hard to not go read the comments about you, mainly when it comes from idiots like that. Being on the no fly list and watched after by authorities is annoying too but it's only for a short time anyway and she still was a super rich person with a wonderful health, loving family etc. I don't think it's such a hard thing as she made it to be. Actually she was nearly ot on TV anymore and wasn't big on YT either. After that she was invited to discuss it in the biggest talk show and also was invited partially to tell the story by major youtubers, two publics that were nearly never having her on for years before the incident. Basically not being silenced benefits her a lot imo. it relaunched her career and reminded people out of her fanbase who she was. She, wisely, used it to make lemonade so I bet that this story is already rather a blessing for her than anything. :)
I am a black man who's proud to say Kathy Griffin is one badass white chick. It would take a lot for Kathy to insult me. People need to embrace their truth and work to improve themselves.
No one should have to go through what she has gone through given she hasn't even broken the law. I think she will have a paid gig in America though in the future. Possibly when the current president is out of the white house. I think it's great she is still doing what she loves doing and this isn't letting it stop her. From the beginning this would have stopped a lot of people from doing all this and to go in to hiding for a few or many years.
yes, but only 3 of them were solo acts.. Whoopi, Kathy and Lily. Elaine May won alongside Mike Nichols for An Evening with Mike Nichols and Elaine May in 1962
Im so happy for the media tour that Kathy is doing right now to try and help people that are being checked at airports for no reason. I wish that people who are being discriminated against daily, could have the platform to express how they feel about this issue AND that people listened. When white women get on TV with a platform and talk about the struggles of minorities, and act like they've lived this struggle for their whole life, is a problem.
Haha you're all really libtards. She didn't defend Roseanne Barr's freedom of speech and she turned against Joan Rivers legacy. What she did wasn't freedom of speech it was a sick twisted shit that people around the world are afraid of its horrors. Bloodied heads and ISIS wasn't even funny.
@@11Garrett11 It was too real and violent. Triggering for people who went through things with ISIS. Did you think the same about Roseanne's political tweet? Griffin didn't.
@@11Garrett11 Ok so you're a fan. I was never a Griffin fan so I don't find her funny much. Remember it was her liberal friends who turned against her the most. Comedians should be allowed to say what they want and do what they want so I agree on that.
@Ran Yeah I know. Most people are pussies. For those who were a fan of hers (and she brought them years of laughter) and then one thing she does that you don’t like has you completely vilifying her...then you’re simply an amateur at life. But, again, I think her story is a very very important one. What she did is absolutely, 100% covered under the first amendment and liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between is being affected & best listen up to what she’s saying about her federal investigation, which was so ridiculous I can’t even fathom it. If nothing else I want to support her because she is now synonymous with championing the first amendment.
31:30 "We have to fight fire with fire this time... We gotta play dirty for a while, guys. We're losing it all, and it's happening like that." I agree with her.
What no one EVER says about the scandal was that it was the photog's idea and he got away without anyone even knowing his name, AND he STILL makes money off of the photi any time it's shown because he has the EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS. That's the shame. That's how America treats its women.
Omg my Miss Kathy continues to be one of the toughest MOST intelligent articulate strong females working in the industry. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do a ROUNDTABLE talk with CHELSEA HANDLER, WANDA SYKES, ALI WONG, AMY SCHUMER, TINA FEY, LESLIE JONES, LOUIS-DREYFER, and AMY POEHLER! Can you I-magine the sheer jaw-dropping stuff to come out of that. Ok or just you and CHER😍
Kamala or Elizabeth Pocahontus for president? Joe Biden was a good VP? Nancy Pelosi knew what she was doing... come on, man. Kathy has totally lost the plot. TDS.
Also Build generally needs better audiences. On so many shows (including the exchange rate) the audience hardly ever seems to know when the guest is joking.
I like how crude and rude people are forgetting she really is ,the Trump thing should not have been that big off a deal ,yes it was a bit much but not enough to ruin her career I mean some people like her,,not my taste but that was crazy
@@GAZMAN2002 yes. And a lot of what Kathy is saying, although she's putting her own comedic spin on it, is extremely dark and shocking with what she has been through.
@@Irishgui83 it was seeing her in Perth Australia was insane how bad it was. I hope she can push through this and would love to see her get a nightly talk show. I'm sure Joan Rivers would be with her in spirit.
I LOVE KATHY G.SHE IS AMAZING ITS SO SAD WHAT SHE HAS HAVE TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF HAVING AN OPINION(WHICH SHE ISNT WRONG) PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES.... THE STRENGHT SOMEONE HAS TO HAVE TO KEEP GOING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE RECIECVINGSUCH CRAZY DEATH THREATS AND EVIL COMMENTS IS MORE THEN I HAVE KATHY G. IF U SEE THIS THANK U FOR BEING SO STRONG AND BEING SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO NOT A FALSE TALKER
She is the most incredible artist and what is just mindblowingly admirable is how this shit has actually made her even stronger, funnier and more relevant.
I agree with her, we have to conduct ourselves like lightning because retribution will be swift. Our tactics must always be subject to change, this peaceful and sweet disposition as a strategy against this kind of tyranny isn’t practical nor effective considering the extent of this political charade. Malcolm UP!
Mac Morris yet mocking him well is great bc is ego is his Achilles heel. mock the shit outta him to put him in a tailspin.i am a centrist. extremists always lead to tyranny.
Love her outfit. When a woman is seen as “toxic,” that’s a good thing. As in - “Don’t touch me.I might kill you.” And the problem with that is? Love her shtick and her honesty. You go, gurrl! And she’s funny. Can’t wait to see your documentary. Wish you all the best, Kathy. Many of us support you 100%.
I LOVE 4 Rooms! Kathy was amazing in that movie (and also stars Tim Roth, Madonna, Ione Skye, Antonio Banderas, Bruce Willis, Marisa Tomei, etc.).. It's just a fantastic film. Iirc, there are 4 different directors involved, including Quentin Tarantino (who makes a cameo) and Robert Rodriguez, and there are 4 different intertwining narratives centered around Tim Roth's character the lone employee on new year's eve at a "luxury" hotel. There are witches, a dead hooker, gangsters, high stakes gambling and devious children. Kathy plays the hotel's manager or assistant manager (?), who takes the night off leaving Tim Roth's character alone during the night shift on new year's eve, as things spin out of his control he repeatedly calls Kathy throughout the night for advice. It's a very fun watch, even just for Kathy's vignettes.
I wish they would have had monet do this especially seeing her equating to someone who profits off trump. She has to use that as a platform now after what they did to her
The thing is she’s funding her own stuff so she’ll make more from it now good for her and now she owns her whole back catalogue too so I see her becoming very rich in the next few years
Kathy, I watched your whole special, and I thought you did an excellent job. I am even more happy to hear you produced it, because I know you got to tell your story your own way. I'm so sorry you went through all that Trump persecution. As awful and horrible as it is that you went through this, you are such a strong, powerful woman, it almost had to happen to you because, like you said, it was going to happen to someone. You had the nerve to "stick your neck out" so you were an easy attack. But Trump underestimated how you would withstand his persecution and bounce back even stronger, truly standing up for our democracy. I am proud of you, and how you did not back down and give up. As you said in your special, "I would never allow them to make me shut up!" I agree. Do not shut up. Keep speaking. Keep being you. Even Taylor Swift said that she had been "run up and down the flagppole of public opinion", and remember, that the "public" are the ones we make up "MAGA." Who am I? I am a 63-year-old female, a mother of an adult female child, a democrat, and I am the public too. I will never vote for Trump and I just can't wait to see him in jail for all of the crimes he is now indicted for. Kathy, you'll get the last laugh when he's in jail.
I honestly was never fan of Kathy until now..I see as different side of her that I never did before..it's true what Jim Carey said we all thought it Kathy just nd the balls to do it..I'm just shocked how serious eberyone took her joke.. I'm happy that she bounced back from all this and she has now more of fan base than ever..
I think she has a lot to be proud of in terms of the infrastructure she's built in the wake of the photo. She's been in the business for quite some time and the photo created an environment where she was no longer tethered to a standard career model. The interesting aspect is the degree to which her career has evolved; sure, it was a rocky road, but it eventually gave her the ability to create a space for herself that no other comic has really been able to establish. She has international fans and is able to travel to some areas that most American comedians can't because their humor doesn't translate or they aren't recognizable in the mainstream.
I think it's a small audience, and it's probably a smaller studio, so I think the producers didn't want to mic the audience cuz it would sound weird in a non acoustic studio

I could definitely seeing being friends with her . She is real. No pretense or attitude .
Kathy Griffin is not only the quickest, wittiest, funniest woman ever to have lived. She's also a REAL Patriot and a National Treasure....
Brilliant. Thank you so much for standing up for freedom of speech. Powers should not be untouchable when it comes to scrutiny and comedy.
Sassenach three words. scariass Patriot act

Yeah, but she wants Kamala or Elizabeth for president?!?!?!?!
I always looooooooooooove Kathy, but i also liked the interviewer. He seemed genuinely interested, opinionated and not afraid to share his opinion.
He also let her talk. I hate when they keep interrupting or make it all about them.

@@GAZMAN2002 yes. And a lot of what Kathy is saying, although she's putting her own comedic spin on it, is extremely dark and shocking with what she has been through.
@@Irishgui83 it was seeing her in Perth Australia was insane how bad it was. I hope she can push through this and would love to see her get a nightly talk show. I'm sure Joan Rivers would be with her in spirit.
Kathy needs a smart black gay from the hood. Cause she will get the gay factor and she will have built in security.
exactly
Rally up the gays we will protect her.
@@johndean4727 okkkkkk lol
Great interview. Kathy is a legend !! Keep it up Kathy thank you for your honesty!
i can’t get enough of her outspokenness! Love Kathy💜
I LOVE KATHY G.SHE IS AMAZING ITS SO SAD WHAT SHE HAS HAVE TO GO THROUGH BECAUSE OF HAVING AN OPINION(WHICH SHE ISNT WRONG) PEOPLE NEED TO OPEN THEIR EYES.... THE STRENGHT SOMEONE HAS TO HAVE TO KEEP GOING FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE RECIECVINGSUCH CRAZY DEATH THREATS AND EVIL COMMENTS IS MORE THEN I HAVE KATHY G. IF U SEE THIS THANK U FOR BEING SO STRONG AND BEING SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TO NOT A FALSE TALKER
She is the most incredible artist and what is just mindblowingly admirable is how this shit has actually made her even stronger, funnier and more relevant.
I agree with her, we have to conduct ourselves like lightning because retribution will be swift. Our tactics must always be subject to change, this peaceful and sweet disposition as a strategy against this kind of tyranny isn’t practical nor effective considering the extent of this political charade. Malcolm UP!
Mac Morris yet mocking him well is great bc is ego is his Achilles heel. mock the shit outta him to put him in a tailspin.i am a centrist. extremists always lead to tyranny.
Thus best line thus far: They [Trump, Epstein, etc] are all "Eva Braun."
She needs the support of everyone especially her peers
Love her outfit. When a woman is seen as “toxic,” that’s a good thing. As in - “Don’t touch me.I might kill you.” And the problem with that is? Love her shtick and her honesty. You go, gurrl! And she’s funny. Can’t wait to see your documentary. Wish you all the best, Kathy. Many of us support you 100%.
Toronto, Canada ♥️'s Kathy Griffin.
Please come back soon!
Kathy is the best! I missed her so much!
This interview is going down in history w/ the moon landing. What a tigress!
D. Chase Huneke I too funny ! I like u already!
Love her honesty and politics.
I love love Kathy Griffin!!! Thank you for this wonderful interview!
Buckle up for 90 minutes of self-victimization and self-aggrandizing.
Kathy! This Gay Veteran is so proud of his mom. keep on doing what you are doing; you are a force of our time.
♥️♥️♥️
You can tell she is still devastated. The Trump thing really did a number on her
Such is the case when one picks branding over foresight.
I didn’t like her comedy much before, but I love her now!
I LOVE 4 Rooms! Kathy was amazing in that movie (and also stars Tim Roth, Madonna, Ione Skye, Antonio Banderas, Bruce Willis, Marisa Tomei, etc.).. It's just a fantastic film.
Iirc, there are 4 different directors involved, including Quentin Tarantino (who makes a cameo) and Robert Rodriguez, and there are 4 different intertwining narratives centered around Tim Roth's character the lone employee on new year's eve at a "luxury" hotel. There are witches, a dead hooker, gangsters, high stakes gambling and devious children. Kathy plays the hotel's manager or assistant manager (?), who takes the night off leaving Tim Roth's character alone during the night shift on new year's eve, as things spin out of his control he repeatedly calls Kathy throughout the night for advice.
It's a very fun watch, even just for Kathy's vignettes.
Princess Sparkle Pixie tx princess!!I l know now to find this one

A true American hero
Kathy is QUEEN!!
Great interview, on many levels.
19:12 when she says she is bored with the host 😂
Kathy is a great fighter of equal rights and human rights.
Great interview 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love Kathy and this is one of her best interviews
I saw her at Massey Hall in Toronto and she DELIVERED
I wish they would have had monet do this especially seeing her equating to someone who profits off trump. She has to use that as a platform now after what they did to her
Hate the annoying interviewer, but Kathy is fantastic, looks amazing, and is just so intelligent and well-spoken. Just the best!
She’s hilarious…and so quick with the wit.
The thing is she’s funding her own stuff so she’ll make more from it now good for her and now she owns her whole back catalogue too so I see her becoming very rich in the next few years
Kathy Griffin is a national freaking treasure
I absolutely love Kathy!!!!!!!
Kathy, I watched your whole special, and I thought you did an excellent job. I am even more happy to hear you produced it, because I know you got to tell your story your own way. I'm so sorry you went through all that Trump persecution. As awful and horrible as it is that you went through this, you are such a strong, powerful woman, it almost had to happen to you because, like you said, it was going to happen to someone. You had the nerve to "stick your neck out" so you were an easy attack. But Trump underestimated how you would withstand his persecution and bounce back even stronger, truly standing up for our democracy. I am proud of you, and how you did not back down and give up. As you said in your special, "I would never allow them to make me shut up!" I agree. Do not shut up. Keep speaking. Keep being you. Even Taylor Swift said that she had been "run up and down the flagppole of public opinion", and remember, that the "public" are the ones we make up "MAGA." Who am I? I am a 63-year-old female, a mother of an adult female child, a democrat, and I am the public too. I will never vote for Trump and I just can't wait to see him in jail for all of the crimes he is now indicted for. Kathy, you'll get the last laugh when he's in jail.
22:54 No Kathy, Bernie isn't polling higher than Kamala or Gillabrand because they're women. Where was this "dogwhistle" in 2016 primaries then?
I honestly was never fan of Kathy until now..I see as different side of her that I never did before..it's true what Jim Carey said we all thought it Kathy just nd the balls to do it..I'm just shocked how serious eberyone took her joke.. I'm happy that she bounced back from all this and she has now more of fan base than ever..
OMG Kathy YOU ARE A HERO!!! It is AMAZING to see You standing Tall and speak Your T!!! Baby You are My Hero, not just my entertainment!!! A HERO!!!
I think she has a lot to be proud of in terms of the infrastructure she's built in the wake of the photo. She's been in the business for quite some time and the photo created an environment where she was no longer tethered to a standard career model. The interesting aspect is the degree to which her career has evolved; sure, it was a rocky road, but it eventually gave her the ability to create a space for herself that no other comic has really been able to establish. She has international fans and is able to travel to some areas that most American comedians can't because their humor doesn't translate or they aren't recognizable in the mainstream.
that audience is DEAD. I was laughing the whole time. What's wrong with you people?! LOL
I think it's a small audience, and it's probably a smaller studio, so I think the producers didn't want to mic the audience cuz it would sound weird in a non acoustic studio
I adore Kathy sooooo much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kathy got your bravery. You'll come back bigger.
