Kathy Griffin - Comedian

Stephen Sackur talks to Kathy Griffin, an American stand-up comedian probably best known for being pictured last May holding Donald Trump's severed head in her hand.

Kathy Griffin is an American stand-up comedian probably best known for being pictured last May holding Donald Trump's severed head in her hand. The Trump head was fake, but the outrage was real - from the president, the TV network which fired her, the FBI which investigated her and the public which heaped abuse on her head. What was, and is, Kathy Griffin thinking?
