Kathy Griffin won't be canceled anymore... 

After a battle with cancer and a federal investigation that had her on the no fly list..... the comedy legend is back. Kathy and Dan don't shy away from anything as Kathy reveals the terrifying toll of being blacklisted that led to addiction, PTSD, and the darkest moments she never could've imagined, and why the laughter and love she receives from audiences today is (no joke) the greatest medicine she could ever hope for.  With Kathy, there's no holding back so she also shares her stories about dating Quentin Tarantino, her personal "Mount Rushmore of Comedy", the reason her stint on "The View" didn't last long, and why one of the most hurtful comments she's endured came from Andy Cohen.  

See Kathy on her “My Life On The PTSD List” tour, performing across the country with shows into 2025. Go to KathyGriffin.com for dates and tickets.

You won't find a more honest and respected presence in the NBA than TNT's Stan Van Gundy.

While the bond between brothers runs deep... the competition between Stan and Jeff Van Gundy runs even deeper. Stan gets into his relationship with his younger brother, what it was like facing off against each other as coaches time and time again, the depth of the love they share as they've gotten older, and what he expects next for Jeff in the NBA. Stan and Dan also talk about how they became friends, seeing greatness in the Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra early on, and the often toxic criticism that surrounds sports today. Then, Stan opens up with Dan about learning to balance asking for support from family and friends and self-reliance as he processes his grief over the loss of his wife, Kim. It's hard not to love Stan Van Gundy. 

Watch the 2024 NBA Western Conference Finals between the Dallas Mavericks and Minnesota Timberwolves on TNT.
