Rock had also attacked Kathie Lee Gifford during the rant but clarified that he had meant to call out comedian Kathy Griffin instead. Explaining the same, he added:

“I was trying to go after Kathy Griffin you know, for holding up Trump’s head, but I’m so out of it I’m like ‘f*** Kathie Lee Gifford.’ When it comes back on TMZ or whatever a few weeks later I’m like ‘oh man, I like Kathie Lee Gifford.’ We’ve been kind of friendly throughout the years.”
