Kathy Griffin took to Instagram on Tuesday to claim that she’s been banned from Jimmy Fallon‘s “Tonight Show.” She also slammed Fallon for hosting UFC legend Conor McGregor, who was found liable in a sexual assault case in 2024 and ordered to pay $257,000 to a woman who accused him of rape.

“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. “I don’t even know. When you’re banned from a show — and if you guys know me, I’m banned from most of them. You’re welcome, America and Indonesia. They don’t usually tell you you’re banned. They just can’t seem to find room for you.”
