I LOVE this..... after having been diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, a friend recommended I check out Tig Notaro (I thought it was a band at first since he knows I love to dance). Then the morning after getting my port put in, I came across the documentary on Netflix & while I love discovering new music, I was totally stoked that Tig is not in fact a band. I'm straight, but every single thing that was said & done in the film I can 100% relate to, not to mention laugh at. I watched it again with my mom who fought her own breast cancer battle 4 summers ago & she loved it as well. Finally, the HBO doc premiered the Sunday after my 2nd Friday chemotherapy treatment. Again perfect timing as the horrendous side effects really start Sunday mornings & watching it helped infinitely more than the pain pills & anti-nausea pills combined. Maybe laughter really is the best medicine....
+zoompolo it's probably because of her post -cancer medication or something like that I mean she's beaten cancer(!). It's who she is and I don't think it's nice to say something like that when you don't know the reason why she's the way she is.
Tig Notaro, is truly a very funny, deeply sensitive, intelligent woman and mom.. I am glad Ellen, finally was able to meet her. I love her on Netflix..
I laughed through most of this and then when she talked about cancer and scars being just being a symbol of healing, I just teared up. What a beautiful outlook on such a battle.
Two comedic geniuses together on one stage is almost overload. They are both extremely compassionate and talented human beings, the like of which we need more.
Her wife, Stephanie, was straight before she met Tig. Tig even had to stop their early friendship because Stephanie said she was straight and Tig didn't want to be heartbroken, but they ended up missing each other too much and got back together. This was all in Tig's Netflix documentary.
Ive been waiting for Tig to come on Ellen ever since her iconic Largo show. She's an inspiration not just to those personally affected by disease or discrimination but to anybody who has ever felt like the world is crashing down on them. Love her calm spirit. - C
I couldn't look at it when l watched Tig's hbo special. All l feel was her pain, and she will not admitted her pain. She ignores it, works through it and comes out on top. What a great spirit, a super strong woman and a funny person. That was spirit talking to you. 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹
I just wanna point out the fact that both Jimmy Fallon and Ellen didn’t remember meeting that absolute gem, jewel, rare treasure of a woman before what they thought was their first encounter with her, and I cannot fathom how that could be.
Thin Thin Rodgers she’s a pretty well seasoned stand up comic, which would explain her comfort level on such a big national stage. She has a pretty funny standup act, I’m sure you’d love it if you liked this interview
I love Tig she seems like a really cool person,🌸🌸🌸 apart from being so good looking! Loved when she played and sang Adele on Ellen's birthday party, I saw the clip and I laughed so hard😂😂😂
Tig Notaro is the modern day Bill Murray that no one has realized yet. She has the closest comic sensibilities - out of any other comedian or comic actor today - to Bill. The definition of deadpan.
I was eating goldfish right when she announced the babies' names. I looked down and saw the fish with sunglasses on the bag, and read it's name, and died a little bit.
I met Ellen exactly 18 years ago, she wasn't a nice person to any of her fans that attempted to speak to her., in fact she was quite hostile. Tig is gently attempting to point out that it's ridiculous that NOW because she's becoming a famous comedian Ellen wants to be friends and even apologizes for not supporting her sooner, but when she met Tig when she was a WAITER 18 years ago, Ellen couldn't have cared less about her. (Ellen isn't getting the irony of what Tig is saying.)
then what's the point? how many interactions have you had with random people throughout your life and for whatever reason you didn't connect or talk to a person in depth? you're telling me u talk to and deeply pursue every single person who you were introduced to? decades later she rediscovered her and then found out she was cool. that doesn't mean she was evil to her and I'm not sure that's even how tig was trying to come across
Aww this is so cute ellen looked so happy to see her haha it's weird because it's almost an exact replica of ellen (not that Tig is trying to be ellen I'm just saying they look alike in a way) but both Tig and Ellen are such inspiring people they deserve everything they've accomplished ❤️❤️❤️
Did anyone sense chemistry?????? I sure did! That might explain some of the tension lol Also, this was an interview, and she knows the difference. It wasn't exactly a spot for her to showcase her comedic routine. I think it shows her maturity, the fact that she didn't try to pull the attention in that manner, but that she really let it be an interview. I hope her and Ellen become great lifelong friends!
Àhhhh ha their families know each other. My family knows Ellen's. I met Ellen's mom and Ellen. Soooo Tig smiled at me in Tampa at the mall somewhere. YES! Wooooo I'm happy. I WRITE TVFILMSTAGESONGS
I love how uncomfortable she lets an audience get sometimes. It’s wonderful...what Ellen says... how she is so slow and let’s the silence build. The whole ‘are the Indigo Girls here’ bit in her latest stand up is just a beautiful show of comic mastery.
Looks like Tig and Stephanie got that kitten they wanted but they were planning to get a white one. It's so awesome that I'm finding this out by watching Ellen's show. I'm such a big fan of Tig and, of course, our biggest lesbian icon Ellen as well. Ellen seems to have been publicly shy of lesbian in-community celebrities but between Liz Feldman and Tig Notaro she seems to be more publicly comfortable with our community. Go Ellen! Don't be scared, our community loves you.
"I have scars because my body healed" .... profound and profoundly simple
Two lady with 61....amazing
I love her dry, deadpan humor! She has such a hilarious style
Her monotone voice makes her even more funny
Also makes you lose interest quickly if your seeing her for the first time.
Deadpan
Her documentary is great! I like how calm and chill she is.

+Polina Kaganovich stay strong. You're so beautiful, just remember that this is temporary.
I really hope that u become better soon. Lots of love. Stay strong.♥️♥️♥️
kept calm and strong youll make it :)
Wish you a speedy recovery. Kick it on its face and come out clean. Stay strong. Love and hugs.
+Pipi Longz are you going to be okay?
I absolutely love Tig Notaro 💕 She is fearless & brilliantly funny.
Her documentary is one to see. Tig has been through so much…she deserves all the good that is coming her way.
she is calm as shit ! -___-
So calm
+zoompolo it's probably because of her post -cancer medication or something like that I mean she's beaten cancer(!). It's who she is and I don't think it's nice to say something like that when you don't know the reason why she's the way she is.
+Emre Süner lol it's not bc of her medication. That's just her personality and humour 😂
How do you calm a shit?
+zoompolo is that a bad thing? haha
Tig Notaro, is truly a very funny, deeply sensitive, intelligent woman and mom..
I am glad Ellen, finally was able to meet her. I love her on Netflix..
love Tig and Ellen! What a great gift for a woman who has overcome so much, and she gets the girl after all of the trouble too!
I laughed through most of this and then when she talked about cancer and scars being just being a symbol of healing, I just teared up. What a beautiful outlook on such a battle.
Just so wonderful to see the world being more loving and appreciative to individuals for who they really are.
She is so calm! so Zen. Ellen you are the best ❤
Two comedic geniuses together on one stage is almost overload. They are both extremely compassionate and talented human beings, the like of which we need more.
Tig's sense of humor is my favorite!
I'm straight but Tig makes me feel things.
Her wife, Stephanie, was straight before she met Tig. Tig even had to stop their early friendship because Stephanie said she was straight and Tig didn't want to be heartbroken, but they ended up missing each other too much and got back together. This was all in Tig's Netflix documentary.
Aide p
The art in your picture is awesome.
Maybe you’re bisexual.
Oh, isn't that the truth. She's terribly interesting.
I said the same thing when I first watched her!! There is just so much there to be enamored with!!
Such a powerful thing to say and do ❤️ the scars are prove that the body healed. Will always remember when i decide to pick my self apart.
Tig has an outstanding memory for someone with a show about not recognizing people
😂😂😂😂
Tig Ellen
Best duo
2 wonderful inspiring women together....!!! both are beautiful and funny.. both from new orleans...!!! they are so alike....!!!
Ive been waiting for Tig to come on Ellen ever since her iconic Largo show. She's an inspiration not just to those personally affected by disease or discrimination but to anybody who has ever felt like the world is crashing down on them. Love her calm spirit.

this was the best interview I've seen here in a good long while.
I've never heard of this woman but how does she NOT know Tig Notaro?!
AliciaLand how did you NOT know Ellen?😂
@@yaralugtenberg119 I am guessing this person was being sarcastic which is hard to read in the written word.
cluvsonj I was also being sarcastic haha, I understand the confusion though.
She's so chill!!!
Tig Notaro, you're amazing!!!! Thanks Ellen!!!
Two awesome ladies!!! Love them both so much.
2 of my favorite people! I love Tig so so so much! Her wife is one lucky lady!

Super DRY sense of humor! I like how she pulls you into the here and now moment😅
Love Tig!!
I love how calm she is
I just wanna point out the fact that both Jimmy Fallon and Ellen didn’t remember meeting that absolute gem, jewel, rare treasure of a woman before what they thought was their first encounter with her, and I cannot fathom how that could be.
I adore Tig. She is so funny and talented.
Who is she? Never heard or seen her before. I love her poise and confidence.
Thin Thin Rodgers she’s a pretty well seasoned stand up comic, which would explain her comfort level on such a big national stage. She has a pretty funny standup act, I’m sure you’d love it if you liked this interview
I love Tig so much, and HOLY CRAP ELLEN IS JUST SO DANG NICE! That was such a sweet thing to do ;-;
I love Tig she seems like a really cool person,🌸🌸🌸 apart from being so good looking! Loved when she played and sang Adele on Ellen's birthday party, I saw the clip and I laughed so hard😂😂😂
Tig Notaro is the modern day Bill Murray that no one has realized yet. She has the closest comic sensibilities - out of any other comedian or comic actor today - to Bill. The definition of deadpan.
In another universe this is TheTigShow
I found out she had my birthday so I came across this interview and I'm so glad I know about her now!
chill as chill canbe.. awesome
Reminds me of a Poi Dog Pondering song lyric, "You should wear with pride the scars on your skin, and remember the people, and places you've been."
Absolutely love Tig's comedy. Found her randomly threw The Moth stories. Didn't no she was a comedian at the time.
Love Tig so much
TIG ROCKS!!!! LOVE HER
I was waiting for Taylor Dane
That is still one of my favourite bits of stand up.
Wow that's amazing! Bless you Ellen! 😇

Finally someone who sees through the BS.
That's how Hollywood works... sad...
If an Aquarius doesn't know you, you might think they're hostile
@x x thats not the point
then what's the point? how many interactions have you had with random people throughout your life and for whatever reason you didn't connect or talk to a person in depth? you're telling me u talk to and deeply pursue every single person who you were introduced to? decades later she rediscovered her and then found out she was cool. that doesn't mean she was evil to her and I'm not sure that's even how tig was trying to come across
I've never been more happy seeing these 2 become friends!
Saw her as Jett Reno and was curious about her. She plays that character awesomely :).
Two of my faves
I love these two
She is AMAZING
Aww this is so cute ellen looked so happy to see her haha it's weird because it's almost an exact replica of ellen (not that Tig is trying to be ellen I'm just saying they look alike in a way) but both Tig and Ellen are such inspiring people they deserve everything they've accomplished ❤️❤️❤️
Tig Norato 😍❤️
Both of you amazing and beautiful
I feel like tig and Ellen are really similar
masculine-ish women w short hair , lesbians who wear suits, comedians... i guess so lol :p but their senses of humour are very different imo.
+MistahF true
They are!
Yeah, they both munch rug
Their style of comedy is very similar!😀
And a great friendship is born :)
Ellen: "So brave of you to take your top off and take away the stigma"
Also Ellen: *crops pic of shirtless Tig so you won't see the scars*
These 2 women r funny lool
love love love them!
Jimmy Fallon didn't recognize her either!
+Thavry Khmer thank you... i remembered the same!!! Poor Tig!
Omg. Lol!
+Ant Grisham She was on the Jimmy Fallon show & he didn't remember meeting her for the first time.
I know lol
Are you Cambodian?
Tig is so cool.
The two most beautiful women of all time!
I need Tig’s calmness.
She is so funny and beautiful 🖤
Yes, love Tig Notaro!
There is something about her that makes me feel so :)
woo-hoo TIG love her sooooooo much!!
I love watching this video Ellen and Tig are such great friends now and superb individuals💕 love them so much❤️
Did anyone sense chemistry?????? I sure did! That might explain some of the tension lol Also, this was an interview, and she knows the difference.

+Esellajessica I did! I thought I was the only one!
+Esellajessica no.
i think Ellen's a bit intimidated. Tig is like Ellen Darkly...
Aka Dua who knows? the conversation seemed awkward, tho. they didn't seem particularly comfortable with each other.
I think it's like talking to yourself in the mirror kind of feeling
I love how both Ellen and Jimmy Fallon don't remember the first time they met Tig.
Àhhhh ha their families know each other. My family knows Ellen's. I met Ellen's mom and Ellen. Soooo Tig smiled at me in Tampa at the mall somewhere. YES!
Wooooo I'm happy.
I WRITE TVFILMSTAGESONGS
She is so smart . I have a crush .
Female Tom Cruise

Ellen - do you have any way to start a huge petition to get One Mississippi Season 3 picked up and rolling?
