Tig Notaro's Lessons In Remaining Present | CONAN on TBS

[@cannabinized]

"what are you doing?" "...nothin." that shit was perfect

[@Rita1800R]

Lmao haha yep perfect! Lol

[@leif1075]

Why was it perfect?

[@oBarbinha]

I'm dying

[@CarrotFlowers421]

It's hard to explain why this is as funny as it is. The timing, her expression, the enunciation. She's really turned comedy into art.

[@yellowbmblbee]

queen of dead-pan

[@monicaangelini3324]

Love her!

[@EmilSiapnoChannel]

Timing, expression, and enunciation. You just easily explained why it's funny. lol

[@no_peace]

One of my favorite parts is how rude she's being to Conan lol

[@roberthatley6562]

Not too hard, it's irony

[@cvers99]

Fun fact: this wasn’t planned at all. Once Tig got the message from her friend (now wife), she texted her ‘I’m going to call you and be as boring as you can be’. Tig is a comedic genius!

[@ubermensch826]

how do you know this

[@PHPH_SDK]

@@ubermensch826 Tig has talked about the bit before. It wasn't completely unplanned--Tig asked her friend (now wife) to just be ready on the phone at that time and to sound really boring. They didn't rehearse or plan the bit beyond that.

[@leif1075]

@ c vers Yes HOW DO YOU KNOW for surs this wasn't planned??

[@cvers99]

@@leif1075 she told the story on her netflix special! she has two on there, you should check them out both are *really* good!

[@fuferito]

Except Norm Macdonald did it 15 years before on _The View._

[@MrPeteykins]

She is THE genius of deadpan comedy.

[@shyslayer]

[@iCHAWY]

The comedic timing is just too perfect. Can't be taught.

[@woe_is_me8647]

She's amazing!

[@ludmillagutomo]

YNWA !

[@ch3burashka]

Jeff Goldblum is mesmerized.

[@k_a_y_l_e_e]

i think we all are lol

[@Liz86000]

He should be, she's amazing !

[@thepolloelectrico1117]

I think it does take a"Mad Genius" as Lena Headey called Tig on her show "Under a Rock" to impress Jeff Goldblum... and I agree, she is!

[@spdadventurer1754]

yeah😍😍 a breath taking man impressed by a mad genius😎😎

[@lavishjules]

Tig has the most calming comedian voice.

[@gmar7836]

Yes she does 😊

[@epbmetal429]

I love her speaking voice.

[@stephaniejefferson6566]

She reminds of Bob Newhart’s delivery. Flawlessly forever funny.

[@drewgormley6933]

This is so masterfully constructed.

[@elonpizza7744]

Tig is a genius. Her style is so subtle, it can be overlooked. But she's got it on lock. She has a 5 minute bit from another late show where she just pushes a stool around. And it's hilarious.

[@sexton610]

You're right! That was so funny. On paper u could never guess that would be funny, but it was. That was actually on this same talk show, Conan, too :)

[@zzXragXzz]

i think she's the first person to outstage conan on his own show

[@mightyworker]

The best part is that the joke lands in the first minute but she keeps going for several more.

[@caitlinjopepe541]

Lovely fact: this friend is the woman that is now her wife, and this was completely unscripted!

[@bernlin2000]

Yeah, it sounded like the woman she called was not in on anything, I Love it!

[@sarahgreen3465]

No way! So sweet! ❤️

[@ThatJingleJangleFeeling]

Sounds like Sarah Silverman to me.

[@angelmora3660]

She told her she was going to call her before going on air. But the dialogue was unscripted.

[@cyberathlete]

how could she not hear the audience laughing in the background on speaker phone?

[@patricklopez1799]

Otherworldly sense of comedic timing on her, man. When she referred to Conan as "this guy" I about died

[@loganh2140]

this is Andy Kauffman level genius

[@silverfritzreah5598]

People keep referring to that. Is there a recording of it

[@SortOfEggish]

So brilliant. Absolute genius.

[@JT-Rebel]

at 1st, I didn't really like her style now, I've seen 6 videos in a row of Tig, all of which has me really cracking up, and realizing she's really original....

[@Icanfigureitoutintime]

This is Andy Kauffman genius! Having people unknowingly laugh at themselves is about the smartest it gets. Tig you rock!

[@sugarhoneyicedtea123]

I was just telling this guy... Conan You...you don't know her OMG XD

[@sebast007007]

I love conan's just honest laughter like he can't hold it in haha

[@LIVELISTENLAUGHLOVE]

Only Tig can make phone call interrupting funny but not rude.

[@vahnn0]

It was very rude, that's the entire point of the bit.

[@karimqk1895]

@@vahnn0 I'm guessing they meant it wasn't mean-spirited, but more just absurd

[@makes586]

in her documentary she says that it wasnt planned but when u see her texting back she said "im going to call u, answer and sound really boring"

[@7FatBears]

+Abby Meyer cos she's fake.

[@Lilcutiepie95]

+7FatBears awww you sad about it?

[@7FatBears]

+VickytheCultLeader Luv u Vicky xoxo

[@joealias2594]

She planned it but Conan didn't fully know about it.

[@siobhanobrien78]

it wasn't planned as in here's what you say here's what i'll say etc. She had to give a heads up because she could have ended up cursing or not answering etc.

[@whorunit26]

I've seen probably 90% of Conan episodes this is by far the funniest 4 mins ever. She's hilarious

[@RudolfSchmidt]

I'm pretty sure this bit is gonna make late night television history.

[@linnycrocus6023]

It's so adorable that she ended up dating Stephanie

[@samanthatodd600]

They're engaged now!

[@daisy2210]

+Samantha Todd they're married now!!

[@maldita88aa]

They are expecting twins now!!!

[@AleeshaWeesha]

They had their twins! Max and Finn born June 26. (I love all the Tig updates in this thread! haha!)

[@SuperSpectrom]

that was one wild ride

[@hellochely687]

No my life, …it was threatened 😂 the way she so nonchalantly says it! Love Tig she’s always been hilarious 🤣🤣

[@shin1300]

Her delivery is so spot on it is amazing!!

[@patton303]

Tig has been my friend for many years. Since before she did standup. So happy and thankful that she's recovering. She killed in this interview too.

[@TheseOpenRoads]

She is a genius

[@reginaphalange3740]

This must have been a really weird day for Conan. First Jeff Goldblum and then this interview.

[@snowman300]

Regina Phalange Conan LOVES Tig

[@DjinnRummy]

I loved watching Jeff goldblum be delighted by tig!

[@samihaque9848]

It took me a little while to get the joke, but when I did I couldn't stop laughing XD "No you don't know her" *waves hand* hahaha

[@lordchold2316]

whats the joke?

[@MrMMochizuki]

So true! She really committed. This is, hands down, the funniest clip I've seen of a guest on Conan.

[@aspiringtentacle]

It's back! I've been looking for this for years and it's finally back! Tig is obviously doing something incredible here and Conan is being very good at rolling with the punches. You can tell it isn't planned because at the end you can see him show her his card because it's time for plugs, they're great together

[@lsaito4670]

Conan’s reactions make me think this wasn’t planned.... and that makes it all the more hilarious.

[@wilrennehan3205]

one of my favorite comedians ever .. pure brilliance .. love her style

[@iCHAWY]

She's so hysterical. She just doesn't give a fuck. I love it.

[@catxo169]

she is so underrated ! she’s hilarious i love watching her interviews 😂😂

[@martinholinde5160]

she is a genius and a better actor than I realized!

[@RudolfSchmidt]

I think this might be the greatest bit anyone's ever done on a talk show since Kaufman on Letterman in June 1980.

[@kelseycoca]

God, I love her. I can't breathe. I love seeing him genuinely laugh, such a gem

[@koukla.]

I love her smile!

[@kempestuous]

This is pure performance art!!!!

[@MyRennae]

She's incredible. I've watched her 'no moleste' joke countless times and I'm peeing myself every single time. I swear, it's almost scary how brilliant she is.

[@SleepFan771]

Friend: "What are you doing?" Tig:"Nothing." Best internet clip ever!

[@littlebeartoe]

She's a really fine actress! I'm going to watch "In a World" today!

[@FireFlyRed2010]

One of the funniest bits you've had on the show, and It's so spot on today.

[@keanusfuturewife]

Tig slays me. Love her to actual pieces.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

One of the best constructed bits I have ever seen on late night television.

[@jayMaze5]

Sheer brilliance! She is a modern marvel of the human race.

[@andreawebb1717]

Hearing Andy with a loud genuine laugh is my love language.

[@bonnienoonan7360]

1:08. When Conan begins to realize it's a bit. Brilliant.

[@ExtremePainGames]

The tears . omfg I was in tears with this entire clip .

[@TheWholeSystemisFckd]

WHAT?!?! and they don't show the picture? how can I go on without seeing the picture?

[@xXLoonoeXx]

+TheWholeSystemisFckd There probably wasn't even a picture, the girl she called, her partner, was just told to sound really bored when Tig called her

[@xXLoonoeXx]

+Megan Parker Because there aren't a shit ton of cat pics on google i.e. it's pretty much impossible to find that pic, if there even was one.

[@carthag]

idiot

[@GregGreggyGregGreg]

I. Love. Tig Notaro. Might be my favorite comedian.

[@pricklypear7934]

Tig is genius with her comedic timing. I am a new fan.

[@a2ashraf]

That was great. Tig is a genious. I have seen this bit a few times now. That was pretty clever of her. i.e talking about being 'present' and actually not being present at the same time. Great comedy!

[@MLGReed]

the crowd was awesome

[@ethanmcquaid1]

One of my favorite comedians.

[@AluminumBird]

This is like the 3rd time I've watched this and I'm laughing so hard I'm getting light-headed.

[@no_peace]

It's so funny. I come back to it every few months

[@Jianju69]

I love the way this woman makes her point.

[@gorgonbert]

The algorithm decided to show me some Conan after I binged ALL the Craig Ferguson shows… and this ist the best so far 😂

[@mattmcgee645]

"What are you doing?" "Nothing...." I LOST IT!

It took me awhile but I finally realized she’s a genius.

[@treetrain]

Tig, John Dore and Rory Scovel are 3 of the most creative comics out there! brilliant bits! love ya' all

I never really knew much about Tig until she was in Army of the Dead. I started checking out her standup and I wasn't disappointed. She's excellent! I love her style of humour

[@ktwelk9rie26]

Tig is brilliant. This was just bloody brilliant.

[@EFUwazurike]

Her delivery is so masterful

[@Dannoneusk91]

Man, I'd never heard of her until this video but I'm digging whatever this was. She pulls off the distant awkwardness really really well!

[@TrevorKingKwong]

Yes, she's truly a musician.

[@chicoamericano8500]

They work so well together

[@dmjdmj]

Wow. Amazing. This was some of the best comedic stuff I've seen in years. The layers of comedy.

[@jenniferl.6387]

This is performance art! Genius!!!!!

[@songs359359]

Oh, Tig! Who else can call a friend during an interview on Conan and OWN the stage while she's at it ?

Loved her as "Ben" on parks and recreation

Yesssssss I was just thinking that while watching this video.

i love this woman to pieces.

[@BabeWest]

That was amazingly hilarious. Best thing I've ever see a guest do on a talk show. Says so much and was so funny...

[@dottiec7943]

Has a keen sense of our culture. This is our world. Brave young funny. Wish I had the last thirty years to get back. She almost lost hers yet entertainment.

[@breathingwater76]

I adore this woman!

[@veror5516]

Even Jeff Goldblum is like, “this lady’s nuts but I, uh, love her!” 😂😂😂

[@TDog14126]

I watch this clip over and over again. :)

After watching her film this part was really "awww" and "wow" material

easily one of the funniest conan interviews

TECHNOLOGY speaks to us too. You have to appreciate it. Thank G-d for the phone ❤ Tig is great. I saw her on Netflix for the first time. She is too funny!!! I feel her.

[@hannahgrace717]

I love comedians who are so good at being deadpan you fight with yourself constantly about whether they are being serious or not. Like, you know it's a joke...but they still manage to get you worried.

[@woihjsd]

Thank you, Tig!!! What a brilliant way to make fun of people..

[@peetmick]

She's so perfect. Love Tig.
