Kathy Griffin is getting her acting helmet on to play Kellyanne Conway in a new President Show special for Comedy Central, according to The New York Times.

“I am kicking the hornet’s nest, as much as I can,” she told the Times. “I think it’s important to lean into the controversy, because I know so much more about it now. I think now enough time has passed where people are starting see the ridiculousness of what happened to me, and they’re seeing other people that Trump has done it to.”

“Make America Great-A-Thon: A President Show Special” will serve as a mock telethon hosted by 45 (played by creator/executive producer Anthony Atamanuik) “to raise money for all of the projects he can’t get anyone in Congress to fund – like the wall and infrastructure” and those “mouthy porn stars [who] aren’t going to pay themselves off,” according to the official logline.

Vice President Mike Pence (Peter Grosz) and Kathy’s Kellyanne will appear.
