Kathy Griffin was hard at work before undergoing life-saving cancer surgery.<\/p>\n

The comedia<\/a>n is guest-starring on the upcoming fifth season of the HBO Max comedy \u201cSearch Party\u201d \u2014 which she was shooting amid her lung cancer battle<\/a>, a source close to Griffin told The Post. <\/p>\n

The 60-year-old plays Liquorice Montague, a conspiracy theorist who takes Chantal (Clare McNulty) under her wing as a \u201cco-dependent app<\/a>rentice,\u201d according to Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our source also gave an update on Griffin\u2019s health post-surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loved the experience working on the show and it was a great creative outlet before undergoing her lung cancer surgery,\u201d the source said. \u201cShe is still in recovery but getting better every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post has reached out to the show and representatives for Griffin.<\/p>\n

Showrunners Sarah-Violet Bliss and Charles Rogers explained in a joint statement to Variety that \u201cworking with Kathy was a huge life moment for us. She brought so much warmth, humanity and professionalism to set, and delivered a performance that will delight the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Season 4 of \u201cSearch Party\u201d concluded in January and showed Dory\u2019s (Alia Shawkat) friends believing she died in a fire that engulfed the house she was being held prisoner in.

The \u201cMy Life on the D-List\u201d star revealed to the world on Aug. 2 that she was suffering from cancer despite \u201cnever\u201d smoking, and that she would undergo surgery to have half of her left lung removed. In a lengthy Twitter note<\/a>, Griffin wrote, \u201cThe doctors are very optimistic as it is stage one and contained to my left lung.\u201d She added that she\u2019s hopeful that she won\u2019t need to get chemotherapy or radiation treatment after surgery. \u201cI should be up and running around as usual in a month or less,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

Her revelation made headlines the same day that ABC\u2019s \u201cNightline\u201d aired an interview in which she shared some scary details about\u00a0her secret pill addiction<\/a> and suicidal thoughts\u00a0in early 2020.<\/p>\n

A few days after her cancer announcement, Griffin explained that her surgery \u201cwent well\u201d <\/a>and she\u2019s in recovery.<\/p>\n

Griffin \u2014 being the funny woman that she is \u2014 shared a video on Aug. 8, shortly after her operation, and laughed at the fact her voice is \u201creally hoarse.\u201d<\/a> In her health update, she said, \u201cHi, you guys. I might start to post little videos about, like, my recovery and stuff, but my voice is, like, really hoarse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m laughing. It\u2019s just even that notion,\u201d she said. \u201cAlso, for some reason, I laugh at everything now. And if it\u2019s horrible, I laugh way more!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
