Controversial comedian Kathy Griffin has unleashed on Sam Armytage in an awkward interview, telling the breakfast television star she's "full of crap".
The spat came during a Sunrise live cross to Los Angeles for a chat with the funnywoman to promote her upcoming stand-up tour.
Griffin found herself in a storm of controversy in July when she posed for a photo shoot holding a bloodied severed head resembling US President Donald Trump.
She lost her job on CNN, a tour was cancelled and she was ostracised by Hollywood and Washington alike. When Armytage asked about the stunt and whether she conceded it went too far, Griffin fired back angrily.
"You're full of crap," she said. "Stop this. You know this. Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the President of the United States is committing."
