-Tig, it's great to see you. -It's great to see you.
-Yeah, I'm happy you're here.
I have a lot of things to talk to you about and ask you about.
-Great. That's what I'm here for.
[ Laughter ]
-I have one thing I want to ask you about.
You were recently on a celebrity "Wheel of Fortune."
Do you remember this?
-I do. -Yeah.
-Yeah. -You had to answer this puzzle.
I'm going to show it to everyone.
-Okay.
-I don't know how this story ends really.
This is the puzzle.
-Mm-hmm. -Okay.
-That was a puzzle.
-Yes. Now, that's -- So you -- "Crashing my..."
-Do you want to know what I said?
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah. [ Drumroll ]
It must be "crashing my exercise bike."
-Um, well...
[ Laughter ]
-Let's see what you said.
-Tig?
-Crashing my exor...cist bill?
[ Buzzer ]
Can we edit my guess out?
"Crashing my exorcist bill."
That is the answer.
I'm not going to be humiliated on national television.
-It's too late for that.
-Now, what was --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you. Thank you.
-What was going through your --
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
What was going through your head at the moment?
-Well, I mean -- Well, first of all, I was thinking,
"I never imagined I'd be on 'Wheel of Fortune.'"
-Yeah.
-Second of all, I was thinking,
"I don't imagine I'll be very good at this."
[ Laughter ]
And then third, I was like, "Well, I'm correct."
[ Laughter ]
-You didn't think it was -- Or were you just being funny?
You're just being -- No.
-No, I -- [ Laughter ]
-You really thought it was "exorcist bill."
-I really was like -- -You're nervous?
-I wasn't nervous. I was -- You know, I was wrong.
[ Laughter ]
I was just wrong.
[ Cheers and applause ]
These people are --
-I feel like these things happen to you.
These funny things happen to you.
I think you're a magnet for funny things that happen.
And this is another example.
This is an article that was on Buzzfeed.
It says, "an Airbnb host complained about their booking
being low and people responded with a list of reasons why they
refused to use the service," Airbnb.
And there's just a photo of you last time you were on our show.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-Do you know anything about this or...?
-No. Your producer showed this to me.
And I guess -- I don't know why Buzzfeed --
I guess if you work for Buzzfeed, let us know why...
why you chose this terrible photo of me.
[ Laughter ]
And, you know, actually, a similar thing happened to me.
[ Laughs ]
People were tagging me about my birthday --
on my birthday on social media.
It was like, "Oh, happy birthday to comedian Tig Notaro."
And it was a picture of Rosie O'Donnell.
[ Laughter ]
And I was just like, "What? They just like --
It's like, 'oh, national lesbian birthday'?"
[ Laughter ]
And just --
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Is that a thing?
-They just Google, like, any lesbian with short hair.
And they're like, "That's fine." -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-"Whatever." Just Melissa Etheridge.
[ Laughter ]
Anybody -- She doesn't have short hair, but anyway.
-Can we talk about your new -- You're a movie star now.
-I am. -Yeah.
-I've actually been a movie star for a while.
-Yeah, that's true. For a while now.
-For a while. -Are you enjoying the fame?
-I enjoy my level of fame because...
Well, I guess there's a downside because I --
You know, I do stand-up and I'll tour around the country.
I did a 70-city tour last year.
And sometimes, I knock on the back door of the theater,
and security won't let me in.
[ Laughter ]
-And you're playing there that night?
-Yeah. I'm there that night. And they're like, "Uh, yeah?"
And I'm like, "Oh, I'm performing at the show."
-"At the show here tonight."
[ Laughter ]
At your show. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Yeah. And I have to -- I have to explain that I am
the big sensation that sold out the theater.
-Yeah. Well, got to kind of keep you humble.
Got to keep you moving, on your toes.
-Yeah. -Yeah, because you can't let
this movie star status go to your head.
-I know. And just having my birthday wishes have
Rosie O'Donnell's face, like -- [ Laughter ]
-I want to talk about this movie, "Your Place or Mine."
We just had Ashton Kutcher on the show yesterday.
He was singing your -- -He's a dream boat.
-Singing your praises. [ Cheers and applause ]
It's you, Ashton Kutcher, Reese Witherspoon.
This is exactly a rom-com that I want to watch.
-Yes. -That I want to see.
What's it like being in a rom-com with these two?
-Well, it's really fun. And they're both so great.
I will say it was a little alarming to watch the movie
because during the filming, I'm thinking, "Oh, this is so great.
Everybody's so nice and fun."
And then I'm watching the actual movie,
and these two people are so attractive, Reese and Ashton.
And I'm not -- Look, I'm not hard on myself.
But I will say it was alarming.
You see these beautiful Ashton and Reese faces on screen,
and I play their friend.
And I come around a corner,
and I was startled.
[ Laughter ]
I look like I'm the same age as Yoda.
[ Laughter ]
[ Applause ]
-What?
No. -No. Wait.
Listen. And I'm truly -- I'm not hard on myself.
But I was like [Gasps] "Oh, my gosh."
I mean, we have very different, you know, night lotion regimen.
What do you -- [ Laughter ]
I don't know what's going on.
But I was just like, "Whoa!"
-How do we set up the movie?
-How do we set it up? -Yeah.
-Well, it's a rom-com.
-Yep. -Starring Reese Witherspoon...
[ Laughter ]
...Ashton Kutcher and Yoda -- -No --
[ Laughter ] Alright, alright, alright.
It's very funny. And I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Tig Notaro and Reese Witherspoon
in "Your Place or Mine." Take a look at this.
-Have you been looking at her Instagram?
-You think I'm not gonna be looking at
Jimmy's girlfriend's Instagram account?
I mean, what are we even doing? Who would I even be?
-Look, it's fine. It works for him. It works for me.
And besides, Jack loves hanging out with Scarlet.
-Alright. Well, I hope that you
get what you want out of this trip.
-Yes. -And what you need.
You know, get your degree, find a man, come home.
And then remodel that ancient kitchen of yours.
I also think it's time to get layers in your hair.
Layers, but not bangs.
Bangs are for an emergency.
-That's right! [ Cheers and applause ]
Tig Notaro. "Your Place or Mine" begins
streaming this Friday on Netflix.
We'll be right back with a performance
from Fitz and the Tantrums. Stick around!
