Robin Marchant/Getty Images for TwitterKathy Griffin is still reeling from the events of 2017. She got death threats and was accused of joining ISIS after she took a now-infamous photo with what looked like a severed Donald Trump head. In reality, it was a mask that she'd doused in ketchup. Griffin calls her brand of comedy spilling the tea — whether she's making fun of the Kardashians or the government. But she tells Sam why she stands by her actions then and now, even after she was fired from CNN and could not convince people to hire her.
