-We've all been following everything
that's happening in Houston.
I know that you grew up here.
-I did spend a portion of my time growing up
in the Spring and Cypress area,
which is right outside Houston.
-Ooh, it's tough, huh? -Yes, it is very rough.
-I actually -- do you mind if I mention a few charities?
-I don't, please.
-And I wrote down a few things
that I would like for people to get a pen,
write this down if you're paying attention at home.
-Yeah. -And real quick, off the top,
I just want to thank -- I have friends at Mattress Firm
that have been handing out mattresses to people in Houston.
-Really? Isn't that great?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Very -- very generous.

Tig, you've been super, super busy.
You're uber-famous now.
Your show's a giant hit.
-I'm driving Uber.
-You're driving an Uber. -Yeah.
You drive for Uber -- and by he way, it was a great drive.
Your song selection was -- mwah! -- perfecto.
-I drove Sarah here from Los Angeles.
-That's how I got here from L.A.
-Oh, my -- you took an Uber?
-From L.A. -My Uber.
Your Uber, well, hey, that's good.
-She drove me here he whole way.
-Have you had any time to relax,
because "One Mississippi," you're doing that,
you're doing stand-up everywhere.
-Yeah, I've been going to a lot of parties.
-You're a party animal. -[ Laughs ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughing ] I'm sorry.
-Sarah.
-No, I mean --
-You and I have partied together.
-No, I know. -You know I party.
-I know, yeah. -Nothing can stop me.
-Nothing. -Not a busy career.
-No, nothing.
-No, not twins, nothing can stop me.
Yeah, and I'm not great around strangers,
but I'm really good in, like, large groups of strangers.
[ Laughter ]
-What do you mean? Like, what do you mean?
-Well, I like to do party bits, is what I call it.
-You got some good bits.
-Yeah, you just toy with people.
-That's always the best.
Well, like what, could you give me an example?
-Well, I would need your help and your help.
If you guys could stand together.
Like you're talking kind of closely,
in a very crowded party.
-Okay. So this -- anyone can do his bit, right?
-Not anyone.
[ Laughter ] -Sorry, sorry.
It takes a very special person to do this bit.
-Don't take away my thunder.
-No, I won't. -Like, you're at a party,
you're very much engaged in a conversation.
I come through, I -- remember I'm part of this.
-Yeah, okay. -Oh, sorry.
I was really enjoying. We had a good --
-We were miming, we were miming. -We should go to more parties.
-I'm coming through. And just squeeze in through here.
[ Laughter ]
-That's your move? -This is -- yeah.
What do you mean, yeah? -That's the, yeah --
-You're supposed to -- people back up.
-We were backing up. -Terrified.
-Oh, terrified, yeah, that's right.
-We can do it again. -No, no, what you did was fine.
-Okay. -But that is -- I stand there
and just rock it back and forth and stare at a stranger.
[ Laughter ]
-Tig, here's something wrong with you.
-Of course.
-There's something wrong with you.
That's a bit you do at a party?
Strangers? [ Applause ]
-It is one bit that I do.
It's one bit that I do.
-Give me another bit that you do.
-Okay. Another crowded party, it can be at a bar.
All right? -Okay.
-You have hundreds of people around.
You start looking for an imaginary dog.
[ Laughter ]
And you're like, "Mitzy, Mitzy."
And then you have hundreds of people bent over
looking under couches and chairs.
[ Laughter and applause ]
And then after you have the whole party or bar
looking for this dog,
then you just go, "Oh, there she is. Come on."
[ Laughter ]
-And leave? -And you walk right out.
-And you walk right out of the party.
-And you just walk right out. That is a fantastic,
fantastic bit. [ Cheers and applause ]
I'm going to do that.
I want to talk to you about -- this is giant.
This is -- your show's doing great.
"One Mississippi," it's coming back for season two.
For people who have not seen the first season,
could you set it up, and what the show is about?
-It's -- well, in four months of my life, five years ago,
I had been diagnosed with invasive cancer.
I had developed an intestinal disease
that made it hard for me to eat.
It gets funnier. [ Laughter ]
My mother had an accident
and it took her off life support,
and was going through a break-up with my girlfriend,
and I, of course, was like,
"This is a half-hour comedy waiting to happen."
-Waiting, of course. Writes itself.
-Yeah. That's kind of what the first episode
of the first season is very true to that time period,
and then as the season --
and the seasons go on, it becomes more fictionalized
and -- and there is humor,
but there's a lot of dramatic moments.
-There is. -Yeah.
-It's a good mixture of both.
That's what we want. -Yeah, I'm proud of it.
-I'm proud of it, too. -I think we've done a good job.
-I think you did a great job.
You're doing great.
[ Cheers and applause ] You know we love you.
