She also ended the note by encouraging everyone to get their COVID-19 vaccine.<\/p>\n

In an interview airing Monday night, the 60-year-old comedian told ABC News Nightline that she was \u201cdefinitely in shock.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still a little bit in shock,\u201d she said. \u201cNot in denial, but once a day, I\u2019ll turn to nobody next to me and go, \u2018can you believe this s\u2014? Is this a b\u2014 or what?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Days earlier, Griffin shared a photo from a TV set, announcing that she is \u201cback at work…where I belong.\u201d<\/p>\n
