When a photo of Kathy Griffin holding the fake decapitated head of former President Donald Trump went viral in 2017, her entire world stopped. “I was in the middle of a 50-city tour and all the shows got canceled within 72 hours,” she told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. After many years of self-care, not to mention fighting cancer, Griffin is back with her first stand-up comedy tour since the incident, My Life on the PTSD-List. She was inspired to call the show that because of her own PTSD, but also the country’s collective PTSD after the Trump years, COVID, and so much more. “I thought, I'm gonna make the show about that. And I laugh at all the shit.” But there’s one name that won’t be mentioned in Griffin’s new show: Donald Trump. “I'm not afraid of it. It just literally doesn't come up.”  Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
