The Fearlessly Funny Tig Notaro

The comedian made her Ellen debut, talking about everything from her cat to beating cancer.

[@funnyrearend]

"I have scars because my body healed" .... profound and profoundly simple

[@ranisonowal3288]

Two lady with 61....amazing

[@dorabuggzz]

Her monotone voice makes her even more funny

[@jetaimegallant9000]

Also makes you lose interest quickly if your seeing her for the first time.

[@froggy12341000]

Deadpan

[@madsokay]

I love her dry, deadpan humor! She has such a hilarious style

[@zoompolo]

she is calm as shit ! -___-

[@lincolnmercedes7874]

So calm

[@EmreSuner]

+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.

[@sn2006]

+Emre Süner lol it's not bc of her medication. That's just her personality and humour 😂

[@nouzmb]

How do you calm a shit?

[@tatianakorman]

+zoompolo is that a bad thing? haha

[@bowsandpearls]

Her documentary is great! I like how calm and chill she is.

[@veror5516]

Her documentary is one to see. Tig has been through so much…she deserves all the good that is coming her way.

[@kbg8641]

I absolutely love Tig Notaro 💕 She is fearless & brilliantly funny.

[@susankwan6229]

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.

[@stage4catmama]

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....

[@Utuberd0]

+Polina Kaganovich stay strong. You're so beautiful, just remember that this is temporary.

[@account-lp9du]

I really hope that u become better soon. Lots of love. Stay strong.♥️♥️♥️

[@juanalarcon5320]

kept calm and strong youll make it :)

[@ahtaruna]

Wish you a speedy recovery. Kick it on its face and come out clean. Stay strong. Love and hugs.

[@pakk82]

+Pipi Longz are you going to be okay?

[@SR-xr6mz]

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..

[@maddyhall4171]

Tig has an outstanding memory for someone with a show about not recognizing people

[@aubreys1675]

😂😂😂😂

[@samitapillay964]

Tig Ellen Best duo

[@aidep5462]

I'm straight but Tig makes me feel things.

[@est9949]

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.

[@jamieg2427]

Aide p The art in your picture is awesome.

[@evyalley]

Maybe you’re bisexual.

[@KarisPigNose]

Oh, isn't that the truth. She's terribly interesting.

[@GMR.24]

I said the same thing when I first watched her!! There is just so much there to be enamored with!!

[@octoberfire13]

"A scar means that you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you."

[@kathybauman6708]

Thank you, I am a survivor & know we're not ever alone through it all. Remain positive 🙏 💞

[@sanasolih847]

She is so calm! so Zen. Ellen you are the best ❤

[@atomicwendy]

Tig's sense of humor is my favorite!

[@ellieeveritt]

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!

[@donna30044]

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.

[@suecampbell7490]

I’ve lost both my breast to cancer and I’ve never looked at my scars that way thank you tig

[@kathybauman6708]

Me too! Thanks Sisters 💯💞 from a BC warrior in So Cal

[@25HARPREET]

2 wonderful inspiring women together....!!! both are beautiful and funny.. both from new orleans...!!! they are so alike....!!!

[@SuelFadel]

She's so chill!!!

[@freespirited3557]

Just so wonderful to see the world being more loving and appreciative to individuals for who they really are.

[@MadreMaven]

this was the best interview I've seen here in a good long while.

[@mimi061301]

She is like a brunette Ellen :)

[@faboze]

Tig is much funnier

[@LiyahRochelle]

[@shoja2636]

FINALLY TIG IS ON ELLEN

[@denissealmonte8664]

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.

[@irock2403]

[@dinunanayakkara1682]

[@AleeshaWeesha]

I've never heard of this woman but how does she NOT know Tig Notaro?!

[@yaralugtenberg119]

AliciaLand how did you NOT know Ellen?😂

[@cluvsonj]

@@yaralugtenberg119 I am guessing this person was being sarcastic which is hard to read in the written word.

[@yaralugtenberg119]

cluvsonj I was also being sarcastic haha, I understand the confusion though.

[@rachelw821]

2 of my favorite people! I love Tig so so so much! Her wife is one lucky lady!

[@judchab]

Tig Notaro, you're amazing!!!! Thanks Ellen!!!

[@annae_22]

I love how calm she is

[@HansCarterFilms]

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

[@JV-ls6wu]

im loving their chemistry so much!

[@avianaissadore9930]

[@phaedrawidney5246]

TIG ROCKS!!!! LOVE HER

[@RoosterBlackspur]

I love Tig !!

[@wse2175]

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.

[@Roycey1]

Why I love Ellen, funny and worried she wasn't supporting someone...Utter superstar! On every level.

[@BeamBouncer]

Two of my faves

[@mauriciomedina2629]

Who would dislike this, is the question??? This is funny, powerful and amazing.

[@irina283]

Ellen and Tig on the same show.....it can't get better than this!!!

[@chloe.greynolds2695]

my two favorites!!!!!

[@jessicagalati6154]

love love love them!

[@desireeholloway3353]

Wow that's amazing! Bless you Ellen! 😇

[@meaning1875]

[@mmy276]

I've never been more happy seeing these 2 become friends!

[@fishfan28]

I adore Tig. She is so funny and talented.

[@tatianakorman]

I found out she had my birthday so I came across this interview and I'm so glad I know about her now!

[@NoyzBot]

I love Tig so much, and HOLY CRAP ELLEN IS JUST SO DANG NICE! That was such a sweet thing to do ;-;

[@Mesh642003]

I just finished her documentary if you haven’t seen it please please do she’s hilarious but knowing her back story makes me love her even more

[@sarahtalks2much]

[@kjmemoire7089]

[@yuppness6793]

[@BM-zl1ej]

Tig Norato 😍❤️

[@user-xm6ro1ep5d]

I was waiting for Taylor Dane

[@PureNightfall]

That is still one of my favourite bits of stand up.

[@underthetornado]

Super DRY sense of humor! I like how she pulls you into the here and now moment😅

[@natashasemrau3670]

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. 🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹🍀🌹

[@open4em]

Omg I luv her

[@ranisonowal3288]

Both of you amazing and beautiful

[@chiedu90069]

And a great friendship is born :)

[@eccentricninny0120]

chill as chill canbe.. awesome

[@gudulpif264]

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.

[@AF-ge4pe]

In another universe this is TheTigShow

[@Tori_TLCR]

Absolutely love Tig's comedy. Found her randomly threw The Moth stories. Didn't no she was a comedian at the time.

[@universalheartstring]

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."

[@RS250Squid]

Saw her as Jett Reno and was curious about her. She plays that character awesomely :).

[@stephanies5281]

She is so funny and beautiful 🖤

[@brlbrlbrlprrt423]

Go Tig!

[@katlyn7066]

I'm crying now.

[@CamillaHornebo]

Yes, love Tig Notaro!

[@gavincrump9831]

Tig is legendary

[@gusy629]

I need Tig’s calmness.

[@ggoodd32503]

I feel like tig and Ellen are really similar

[@rocknroll9queen]

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.

[@ggoodd32503]

+MistahF true

[@nawal10]

They are!

[@jordanf8326]

Yeah, they both munch rug

[@azlibra7178]

Their style of comedy is very similar!😀

[@draconica1985]

[@yAkidAgain]

[@hannahtruly3735]

Tig!!

[@Ktwood1]

She is so smart . I have a crush .

[@JaneDoe-ci3gj]

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😂😂😂

[@dogmom007]

Who is she? Never heard or seen her before. I love her poise and confidence.

[@jjmah7]

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

[@blksasb3773]

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.

[@evyalley]

The two most beautiful women of all time!

[@MeryKeit]

soooo matchi matchi!))

[@bulldogmom4645]

Bravo!!

[@Bfaxi1]

Tig is so cool.

[@punamsubba4988]

I love you ellen

[@iLUVAUSTiNSAELEE24]

Jimmy Fallon didn't recognize her either!

[@eliselambert5811]

+Thavry Khmer thank you... i remembered the same!!! Poor Tig!

[@DistressedAndImpressed]

Omg. Lol!

[@iLUVAUSTiNSAELEE24]

+Ant Grisham She was on the Jimmy Fallon show & he didn't remember meeting her for the first time.

[@sarabrown717]

I know lol

[@sethbenz8707]

Are you Cambodian?

[@DreamVicarious]

shes super funny.

[@wildheart7080]

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*

[@afatherslove5341]

love Ellen and that lady is very cool as well

[@BeautyAndBrainsGirls]

There is something about her that makes me feel so :)

[@harshnavale7094]

Man she is soo cool

[@XxtheonlyuchihaxX]

💖💖Tig💖💖

[@Gigi-hw6or]

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 ❤️❤️❤️

[@ohbbyilikeitrawr]

aww ellen having her own someone she's insired by :D it's usually the other way around for all of us lol
