Kathy Griffin reveals why she was banned from Jimmy Fallon's show

Kathy Griffin has claimed that she was banned from Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show for being too controversial.

The 65-year-old comedian revealed that she hasn’t appeared on the late-night talk show since Jimmy became host in 2014.

“I have not done the Jimmy Fallon show since it was on at 12:30 Eastern and Pacific, so I guess I’m banned from the Fallon show, or inappropriate, or too controversial,” Kathy said in an Instagram video.

“I don’t even know. When you’re banned from a show — and if you guys know me, I’m banned from most of them. You’re welcome, America and Indonesia. They don’t usually tell you you’re banned. They just can’t seem to find room for you,” she added.

Kathy then criticized Jimmy for hosting Conor McGregor.

“I do think it was a bad call for him to have convicted rapist Conor McGregor on,” she said. “I think the Fallon folks made a mistake by having Conor McGregor on.

“I think it sends yet another message to women and marginalized folks everywhere that we’re not equal and you can do anything to us, and the perpetrators are still going to be out there being glorified,” added the Suddenly Susan star.

Last time, she appeared on NBC’s show in 2013 when Jay Leno was host.
