Kathy Griffin Claims She’s ‘Banned’ From Jimmy Fallon’s ‘Tonight Show’ for Being ‘Too Controversial’

Kathy Griffin said NBC has not booked her since the show’s 12:30 time slot and described herself as too controversial.

  • Kathy Griffin claimed on Instagram on Tuesday that she is effectively banned from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, stating she is no longer welcome on the program after being deemed 'inappropriate or too controversial.'
  • Griffin noted she has not appeared on The Tonight Show on NBC since it occupied the 12:30 Eastern and Pacific timeslot, alleging that shows often 'ban' guests by simply never booking them.
  • While asserting she has 'no qualms' with Fallon, Griffin criticized his decision to host Conor McGregor, who was accused of sexual assault in 2023.
  • Neither Fallon nor The Tonight Show have addressed the allegations made by the comedian; the show has not commented on the claims.
  • Griffin expressed gratitude for being 'booked and busy' after being 'canceled' for six-and-a-half years, noting she is accustomed to being a 'rebel outsider' in Hollywood.
