I love Tig, she’s just so effortlessly hilarious.

[@hcb9450]

She's NOT funny. She's just sort of smug, and self-aggrandizing.

[@kmac1130]

[@jenniferandrews6556]

I love Tig. I was just watching a few "Under a Rock with Tig Notaro" today and now get to have a fresh treat with Tig

[@conechiwa7]

I miss under a rock- her not knowing famous people is hilarious!

[@doglady9334]

She is so dry... i just love her humor

[@hcb9450]

@@conechiwa7 What's hilarious about it? It's just pure condescending and smug. She is sort of implying that somehow she is more famous or more important? She's a drippy irritating person. I am glad I had never heard of her before this video. LOL.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

I want her to take more pictures of people on her airplane trips and talk about them. That was so much fun lol

[@KellAC1678]

Definitely Rebecca Wisocky. She plays Hetty on the tv show Ghosts.

[@imjuliewaters]

As soon as I saw the picture I knew it was her.

[@gazzob001]

@@imjuliewaters ditto

[@robbiewittman7990]

I was wondering who the heck is she. I love Ghosts.

[@whale2207]

I thought so.

[@sofiiyanez]

Yes!!!!

[@stormydazeASMR]

Its the lady who plays Heady in the new American version of GHOSTS. She's hilarious!

[@Msaprilconquest]

Rebecca Wisocky (Hetty). I don't watch "Ghosts", but I recognized her from a "Law & Order" episode.

[@stormydazeASMR]

@@Msaprilconquest she was also in the new Picard

[@lb5368]

Here for Tig! 🙌 Going to search for tickets to her tour near me while I watch.

[@jasminetaylor7223]

she both dresses like hank green and has the same energy 10/10

[@Sarah-uk5tr]

Never thought of that comparison! Hank has more energy than her but they both can be very dry and silly. Love them both!

[@kmcg6444]

Tig, you're my kind of America's Sweetheart! Full of sassy laughs!

[@cas4040]

Tig is always a delight! ❤️

[@BrianAldrichVideos]

Rebecca Wisocky

[@blaqbay1762]

Jimmy Fallon forever Cuomosexual

[@stingrey1571]

anyone from nyc has been through those situations, an entire empty subway car and then someone comes in and sits RIGHT NEXT OR ACROSS FROM YOU!!!! or you're in a crowded subway car or bus and the person next to you falls asleep on your shoulder.

[@JonnyDIY]

Tig is always a fun time 😄💕👍

[@kuskesh_haramzadeh]

I was hoping that she'd talk about Star Trek. I love the character she plays

[@CJIrishLez]

I do too but haven’t seen her yet this new season.

[@kuskesh_haramzadeh]

@@CJIrishLez Neither have I! I'm waiting for Picard to start another season so I can watch both. Paramount really strings things along. I suppose that's their strategy

[@raynemichelle2996]

@@kuskesh_haramzadeh They always put out the different series' seasons separately, as well as Lower Decks

[@shuboy05]

According to some rumors she’s in the later episodes this season. I think her busy schedule kept her from the start of the season.

[@catherinereynolds9644]

America's sweetheart AND National treasure!! ☮️💜

[@wnd2845]

I love how weird and awkward she is 😂😂

[@umair111]

The original British Ghosts series is brilliant

[@GyDaBi]

I would say it's Susan Sarandon.

[@dirfrops]

Lol I was gonna say Tilda Swinton with a new hairdo. Love you Tig and Jimmy!

[@staceycorteville6756]

I also thought it was Tilda!

[@merryprewitt1002]

Tilda doesn't have a widows peak. I thought of tilda first as well.

[@sandierads4223]

Definitely Rebecca Wisocky without a doubt from the remake of Ghosts.

[@shayshale]

That's who I thought too!

[@shuboy05]

And a few episodes of Star Trek Picard!

[@darmakarma102]

Or someone who is mistaken for her...I thought it might be her, too

[@mememefinally]

Never heard of either one 😆

[@itsreallyLINCOLN]

Did someone actually tell her that was Hetty from Ghosts?? 😂😂😂

[@danity111]

That looks like Debra Messing😂

[@stephaniecornwell8766]

I would totally lose it if I saw Tig in public! She is amazing! I sat next to Seth Meyers on a plane from Pittsburg once and all I did was snap a sneaky pic. If it was Tig, I’d probably be so obnoxious

[@alexapenn7086]

At first I thought she was a scientist but she was so funny that I assumed she had to be a comedian

[@pamelastevens7719]

Just the other day we were in LAX and I was thinking there would be celebrities around, but even if I saw one I'd let them be...except if it was Tig...then I might lose it. LOL.

[@adorable3817]

*I LOVE YOU TIG!!!!* ❄♥️❄♥️❄♥️🤗 She has 2 hilarious Podcasts, "Tig and Cheryl: True Story" where they Review documentaries like Tiger King etc. I recommend Octapus Teacher to start 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and "Don't ask Tig" where she gives advice, and has different celeb guests on each week. The best!!!!!!! 🥰👍

[@ParodyWhitney]

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ve watched everything she’s in and have been jonesing for some more Tig content. She’s just so dandy.

[@adorable3817]

The lady on the plane is named Alex Kingston (she played a doctor on ER -- among other things).

And Seattle!! Can't wait

Lol Jimmy just naming red heads

Happy Tuesday jimmy happy 😃

[@jasg6386]

It is obviously Rebecca Wisocky

[@bettersecret1499]

Isn't she 50? This lady looks younger

[@mattlawson2630]

It’s the teacher from the magic school bus

[@tracybstamping6709]

She looks like the victorian ghost from the CBS show ghost. The lady that she didn't know who it was.

[@LegionarioCruel]

Not a case of Notaro ignoring the existence of a celebrity, Rebecca Wisocky is not that well known.

[@madeleineroy3366]

Love you Tig!!!

[@christopherknowles]

Tig Notaro looks like Stephen Colbert’s Waluigi.

[@jessicawoodworth9352]

Rebecca Wisocky!! Devious Maids

[@gracieambrosio4967]

THAT WOMAN IS IN DOPESICK TV SHOW FROM HULU. SHE PLAYS THE FDA WOMAN.

[@tanyawalters8775]

I do follow Tig to a point cause I don't follow a lot of pop culture either. I know some actors but not all and there are shows I don't watch so I often have no clue who a lot of the guests are. Lol

[@bhamgathering]

WOW! it's TIG!..... so good!

[@Coco21212]

3:40 Rebecca Wisocky from The Mentalist and Devious maids

[@Msaprilconquest]

Rebecca Wisocky - character actress...I remember her from a "Law & Order" episode.

[@rachelmargolin9090]

I LOVE TIG! CANNOT WAIT UNTIL PHILADELPHIA!!!

[@slickymoxy]

I love her so much. ❤

[@miz_logo_lee]

My very first thought was it was the robber baron woman from the U.S. Ghosts and I was surprised that was the top response.

[@grrgoyljones8793]

The redhead looks like the British dame from America's "Ghosts." She's suddenly turning up everywhere lately

[@ripvanstinkle]

I’m very disappointed that I’m not able to make it to one of these amazing show dates, takes one of the best and now I’ve got to know why it’s called hello again.

[@infrequentvlogs4433]

Enamored with Tig. Good Lord, what a dreamboat she is!!

[@kathyweimar3660]

Late to the “guess the celebrity” party but I think it was Gina Davis on the plane. Yes?

[@judymurray191]

I feel like I’m better at recognizing celebrities than Tig but I don’t know who it is and I’m not familiar with that show. Thanks for identifying her.

[@denb2716]

I think It’s Tilda Swinton

[@janwooters5629]

Tilda Swinton the White Witch from Narnia and in Dr. Strange

[@moniquegrace1601]

Call 1800….. 😂🤣😂🤣

[@jukthewise8776]

100% It's Rebecca Wisocky!! for sure

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Tig Nataro IS america's sweetheart

[@thesmileyeffect]

Annette Benning, Nicole Kidman, or Debra Messing.

[@sarahsimmons76]

I vote for Annette

[@carmelacarmela1310]

Hi Tig, I'm Carmela and seen you for the first time on the show this Evening here in Denver Colorado 🥳 I believe it's Nicole Kidman 👍⛄Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your family 🕯️

[@adamslater7486]

That would explain why Jimmy didn't recognize her

[@amorgan3716]

Definitely not Nicole Kidman

[@froggy1972]

Matilda Swinton.

[@taylorpeck8205]

think i’m the only one who thought Amy Adams🤣

[@marcandreyko4251]

it's ALEX KINGSTON (ER).

[@LordMondegrene]

The daughter on "Six Feet Under". Lauren Ambrose.

[@ValeriaHernandez-hh3mk]

Susan Sarandon from Stepmom i think

[@collette1234]

I saw this in a short, and he'd find the comments to find who that was😅

[@HeraGEG]

Is it Rebecca Wisocky from CBS's Ghosts?

[@justinspiguzza5276]

I bet they were talking to that woman about her! She is the celebrity.

[@dbwatts78]

Is that the actor who played Hobie on bay watch?

[@MichasBreakdown]

I would have thought it is Julianne Moore, but with everyone saying Rebecca Wisocky, I guess they may be right.

[@cydtaylor]

I think it's Christina Hendricks

[@victoriasage8613]

I ❤️ Tig

[@MrJoshanthony734313]

We'll see ya in Detroit!

[@tennnine]

Why did they mute Anna Kendrick?

[@MrsBungle78]

At first I was going to guess that French actor Julie Delpy but you’d notice the accent...otherwise Tilda Swinton?

[@pegandonnelly6614]

It is Annette Bening, widows peak and all.

[@nans969]

She looks a lot like Rebecca Wisocky. She plays a Ghost (Hetty) on the show Ghosts on CBS.

[@joboyogi]

Is it Jane Levy? I'm trying to find the name of another actress, but I can't even remember the name of the show I saw her on.

[@adorable3817]

Rebecca Wisocky

[@ChanelGirlable]

I think its Susan Sarandon

[@cgrohs1]

Mystery redhead is Rebecca Wisocky

Rebecca Wisocky?

Is Rebecca Wisocky . She is a sweetheart

[@pattiaustin1808]

Tig! I’ve missed you.

[@adorable3817]

Do you listen to her Podcasts? They're hilarious!!!! 😁👍 'Don't ask Tig", and 'True Story" with Cheryl Hines. Where they talk about documentaries. I recommend the octapus teacher - I was laughing so hard at that one 🤣🤣🤣

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

Tilda swinton?? The pic?

[@korycudmore3426]

Is that Sigourney Weaver? The Red-Head?

[@emilyderoest4732]

It's Susan Surranden!

[@z9elka]

Why is "Kendrik" blipped out?

[@danielagoncalves3211]

It's Rebecca Wisocky!!! I recognize her from an episode of Modern Family

[@merryprewitt1002]

Looks too young to be Rebecca tho?

[@sarahsimmons76]

💯 Annette Bening

[@a120068020]

I thought Susan Sarandon as did others on here but then Rebecca Wisocky is a good fit too.

[@sal8s]

I think that was Alice Krige in the photo.

[@Daniel-Strain]

Not Julianne Moore or Annette Benning. Check out the hairlines. Comparing pics online, I think Jimmy might be right. Looks like it could be Jenna Fischer.

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

I thought the "Red-Haired Celebrity" mght be Ellie Kemper, but she doen't seem to have a widows peak in other photos.

[@hayleyostby2837]

Susana Sarandon!!

[@OlgaAlyce]

Tilda Swinton

[@maysuntreasure2341]

The Redhead in the picture is Definitely Alicia Witt. I'm 100% sure.

[@helimustonen8895]

Alex Kingston from Dr Who and er

[@dianarichards4499]

Annette Benning.

[@AVeganWitch]

Tilda Swinton is in that picture?
