Kathy Griffin joked about being “un-cancelled” as she chatted with Jimmy Kimmel Monday.
The comedian, who is recovering from lung cancer surgery she had in August, referenced that 2017 Donald Trump controversy, in which she faced backlash after she posed with a bloody replica of the then-U.S. president’s severed head.
Griffin shared, “So you guys know I’m cancelled, right? Like, I was like, cancelled cancelled.
“And so I’m very slowly getting un-cancelled. And what I think is funny is that people are kinda like afraid of me now and all that stuff. And you know that guy Paul Gosar made a video, and I was back in the news again? So anyway, so I think I’m gonna get un-cancelled. I think I’m an actress again, guys.”

“You know the MAGAs think I’m a terrorist. They don’t even know that stuff, they watch the TikTak.”

Kimmel replied: “Yes, it was ridiculous.”
