Kathy Griffin to do new shows, 9 months after Trump photo

NEW YORK (AP) — Comedian Kathy Griffin is embarking on her comeback, some nine months after she provoked outrage — and lost much of her work — by posing with a fake severed head that appeared to depict President Donald Trump.

Griffin announced on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" on Friday night that she had just booked upcoming shows at New York's Carnegie Hall and at Washington's Kennedy Center — "Trump's backyard," she called it.

"I'm dipping my toes into touring again," Griffin said, adding that the Republican president and his supporters would prefer she never worked again.
