We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson · Kathy Griffin: This Joke Made Me The Most Hated Woman in America · 14 Apr 2026 podcast

There's nobody famous for my town.

There's nobody who teaches you what a set looks like or what it's like to be a real working actor as opposed to what you think a star is.

They didn't talk in those days about the difference between fame and talent and being a star.

Like, there weren't influencers.

And so I just tried to learn as much as I could and absorb as much as I could.

And luckily, my parents were kind of Hollywood files.

Like, they really did love great films and great television and great theater.

And so we were pretty open to the arts in our house.

But the idea of one of us being an artist was insane.

Yeah.

Well, I tricked my parents.

I'm going to be honest.

I knew that I couldn't make a living in Forest Park, Illinois, and I knew I had to live in L.A.

or New York, but I couldn't afford to.

And I was still young enough to live with my mom and dad.

So when they decided to retire because the winters are too brutal in Chicago, my dad loved golf.

He lived for golf.

Never was a member of a club or anything like that, but would go to the par three or the public course and loved it.

And so I told him that I had done a lot of research in many papers and I had clippings that proved that Los Angeles has more public golf courses than any place in the world.
