A comedian’s talent is to take the truth and exaggerate it in a humorous way, so that it resonates with their audience. And the really good ones make you laugh with only subtle changes in the truth. The poor ones distort the truth so much, they create their own narrative, and they still think they are funny.
Kathy Griffin’s bloodied, severed head of Donald Trump with a reference to Trump’s admittedly pitiful comment about Megyn Kelly is a completely different narrative, is vile and repugnant, and worst of all for any comedian, is not the least bit humorous.
I never thought Kathy Griffin was very funny, and she just affirmed that for me.
CNN apparently feels the same way. Thankfully, we won't have to watch her on New Year's Eve any more. And I now have a good reason to try and make it past midnight.
