“I fainted at the end of my show. I’m embarrassed more than anything,” Griffin begins.

The stand-up comedian went on to explain what had happened.  “Anyway I’m in Dublin, just leaving the show,” she said. “And I had one more story. I had five more minutes. I had gone for almost two and a half hours.”

Griffin referenced daytime talk show host Wendy Williams, who fainted on-air during her Halloween episode last week. “This one’s for you, Wendy Williams. Girl down. I had a girl moment.”
