Kathy Griffin is standing up for herself.
The 58-year-old comedian made an appearance to promote her new movie, Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story, on KTLA Channel 5 on Wednesday (October 23).
“By the way, I still do not one single day of paid work ahead of me for the rest of my life, you tell me that’s not because I’m a 58-year-old female in comedy,” she said during her appearance while discussing her work.
“I think there’s a lot of 58-year-old comedians working out there,” Mark Kriski interjected.
“Name five women,” she challenged him, as he stuttered to answer.
“I’m uh…not into the comedy thing,” he responded.
“What’s up with the new guy?” she joked.
“Working in a male-dominated field is something where I deal with that sort of thing every day, so I spend most of my day trying to talk to older white guys and explain I just want to do what I do,” she later went on to say.
