Kathy Griffin Questions Her 'Ban' From The Tonight Show
The comedian takes to Instagram to wonder why she hasn't been on Jimmy Fallon's show in over a decade, while criticizing his recent guest booking.

Kathy Griffin has fans speculating about her late-night status after a new social media post.
In an Instagram video posted Tuesday, the 65-year-old comedian questioned why she hasn't appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in more than a decade. "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," Griffin said, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Griffin made it clear her issue isn't personal with Fallon, whom she described as having been "always super nice to me" during her past appearances on his earlier Late Night program. Her criticism was aimed at the show's recent guest choices.
"I think the Fallon folks made a mistake by having Conor McGregor on," Griffin continued. "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."
This has not been confirmed by Kathy Griffin, their representatives, or any official source — it is unverified and currently circulating as speculation.
