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

And so I have...

had many years' experience of trying to talk an A-lister off the ledge and say, no, no, I was just kidding.

This is what I do.

I'm a comedian.

You know, you wouldn't be mad at Don Rickles, you know, who I looked up to and all this stuff.

And so I just started...

Not really being unapologetic, but I would have a conversation with someone that was in my act, and I would say to their face, well, I'm not going to take it out.

And I do that to this day.

Yeah.

I could finish that sentence for you.

It's what I fight to this day.

My number one obstacle in selling tickets is quite simply my gender.

And I'm just saying that as someone who's been on the road for decades.

And I have asked my, I call my straight guy friends bros.

So I've asked my bro friends, okay, if you guys are on a bros weekend, what are the chances that if you have a night off, you're going to go see Chelsea Handler?

And the most honest ones would say, I'll be honest, we're going to see Chris Rock or Dave Chappelle.

Like, it wouldn't occur to us to buy tickets for Chelsea Handler.

And I'd say, well, do you not like Chelsea?

And they're like, oh, no, she's funny.

And so I realized that is a bias that is very much still alive and still there.
