What’s unique about Tig is that she isn’t just unafraid of silence, but she even uses it. How many comedians would crumble under the precious seconds of silence that Tig uses to build up her punchlines?
She said recently that there was a time when it was a twenty-minute bit, and she had to get through it with no laughter. The bit needed to be honed. Nevertheless, Tig is willing to commit until it works.
Corny or not, this made me happy. I had seen Tig deliver this monologue previously in a solo standup setting, but couldn't stop smiling when Taylor Dayne showed up to serenade her. Props to both.
"Like I'm not even convince she's not here tonight!" - Tig And Taylor Dayne was there lol... love the frick'n set up... great story and love the song "love will lead you back" .... breaks my heart
"I'll Always Love You" is actually the song; but of course, I understand what you mean. The song you mention, "Love Will Lead You Back" is actually my favorite.❤️
@@kristinesmart24 I remember as a kid, there was Samantha Fox and Taylor Dayne, and when I heard Taylor "tell it to my heart" I thought she was just another pop gimmick but "love will lead you back" in black and white video, I was dead wrong, that song will be timeless, definitely a favorite too!
This was rehearsed. 14:16 Tig lip-syncs with Taylor saying "show'em what you got Tig". But I guess it would be delicate to decide whether to actually surprise a comedian by inviting the person they just made a sketch about.
Never knew before what a great speaking voice you have, Taylor, but now I love both versions of your voice. Been singing your songs for years, and glad you are seeing them again too.
This woman is a master. To do 10+ minutes of material on a pretty much forgotten pop star from 25 years ago and be hysterically deadpan... Tig is awesome.
I am watching this at work in an open office, and biting my tongue to keep from laughing out loud. It's not working. It just sounds like I'm snorting and dying or something over here. Brilliant.
Wow. Tig is absolutely brilliant at physical comedy. For all the understatement and deadpan, her talent is just under the surface and waiting for the right moment to strike.
This is brilliant story-telling! Her timing is impeccable, yes? I mean, it's all clearly off-beat, but deceptively so. She always comes in right on time to fill the anticipation with a perfect delivery. I love when she follows her friend Kyle into the restaurant across the street, and after she realizes that he's spied Taylor Dayne, Tig reassures him with "Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course she's here." She perfectly manages a straight-forward delivery that oozes with irony, right?
i legit forgot how fucking good this story is. i always think about it whenever Taylor Dayne is brought up but haven't watched the whole thing in years. SO GOOD.
I think it would have been so perfect if at some point during that end part Tig said "Excuse me... I'm sorry to bother you... But I just have to say. I love your voice."
Indeed, Ms. Dayne IS a good sport! This was hilarious, beautiful, and so much fun. I'm so glad you're singing again - such a dynamic, lovely voice. Cheers!
Shame on me for assuming for 30 years a Black woman sang this song and OMGEEEEE she blew it OUT OF THE WATER!!!! VOICE IS JUST AS STRONG LIVE AND AS THE ORIGINAL!!! Slayed this!!!! and both of you were hilariouuuuusssss!!! Yes yes yes!🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍❤❤❤💥💥💥
watching this after she was on masked singer and i tried to make my mom guess who it was and she didn't even know who Taylor Dayne was. for reference, i'm 31 and my mom is 65, lived through the 80s. she knew the song 'tell it to my heart' but said would never guessed the name. i'm blown away. Taylor def has that new york energy to her, she seems bad ass and funny.
I must still be a drip like they said I was, because I have no clue what you are talking about. I think you saw an illusion on your screen, never heard of Lucifer causing TROUBLE making your nob pop back up when you play that game pushing it down.
@@johncarver3839 And you must be a master at scrollery scrolling around looking for some panties to hide your little mouse pointer under. Try the Pointer sisters next time.
This reminded me of when I met my idol and told her, "I know you hear this all the time, but I think you're great!" She glared at me & said, "Yeah, I do hear that all the time," I was taken aback. My mouth fell open, & I didn't know what to say to that, so I just walked away, a little off-balanced. Yet seeing Taylor Dayne come around & be such a good sport nullified any conflation with that incident. In fact, I think she's great! And Tig is hilarious!
I love this! I am from Ontario, Canada, and I listen to Funny 820; it's all standup comedy...that's where I was introduced to this lady :) I think she's just great!
I love Canada. If I had another husband willing to move there, I'd go. You guys have the BEST music of all genres and it's not a stereotype. As a child going to the Toronto Zoo & later visits, I noticed people of all colors & backgrounds were more calm and friendly in general. My brother was with a Canadian. Lovely sister-in-law.
What a great stand up just 1 topic her fascination to taylor dayne. Amazingly never felt bored. Funny when she said "im not convince she's not here tonight" ..... well she was right.
I'm here because of the Taylor Dayne comments on Tig Notaro clips. Grew up loving Taylor Dayne, now that I am grown up - LOVE to see her sense of humor.
I loved Tig's Taylor story when I first heard it elsewhere. I'm from Long Island and used to love Taylor Dayne's music, so when I heard the bit I had more of an interest than the rest. This was so special to hear again and then Taylor Dayne coming out at the end was just perfection!!

“I’m not even convinced that’s she’s not here tonight.”
Just wait five minutes Tig. Haha.

"I left out other times I ran into Taylor Dayne" I spit out my water and almost ruined my laptop. She is so hilarious.
Corny or not, this made me happy. I had seen Tig deliver this monologue previously in a solo standup setting, but couldn't stop smiling when Taylor Dayne showed up to serenade her. Props to both.
humor without borders
I come back and watch this regularly!!!

Taylor, you're a good soul to share this hilarious story... and for singing your heart out without laughing.
HANDSOME.
Just watched this for the first time as Tig mentioned it on her podcast HANDSOME! Brilliant!!! 👏
Taylor Dayne... you are amazing for doing this. What a great talent and a sense of humor.
Kyle Minor BEAUTIFUL!
OMG, yes! If I wasn’t a fan before I sure as hell am now!
Never knew before what a great speaking voice you have, Taylor, but now I love both versions of your voice. Been singing your songs for years, and glad you are seeing them again too.

David Sirois Forgotten, but supremely talented!! :P
+Alex Lundell Yes... a supremely talented speaking voice ;)
David Sirois huh?
Alex Lundell did you even listen to Tig's routine?
David Sirois Yup, my comment is old though, I havnt listened to this clip in months
Tig notaro has such a beautiful voice.
+Jin Wong her speaking voice?
AGREED!
her voice is just.. it is simply incredibly sublimely beautiful
Exactly. I've always thought that.
Omg yes, I am in love with her and her voice xx 😍😍
I love how Tig said in the video and I have no doubt if she's even here now and then BAM she's their
I grinned so big when she finally coaxed Tig off her stool. (And Taylor Dayne never stopped having a great voice.)
I am watching this at work in an open office, and biting my tongue to keep from laughing out loud. It's not working. It just sounds like I'm snorting and dying or something over here. Brilliant.
Best punch-line ever. To do a long bit about Taylor Dayne, then have her show up... Flawless.
Her delivery is killer.
I seriously could not stop smiling once I saw Taylor come on stage! What a wonderful story with an awesome surprise ending!!
Wow. Tig is absolutely brilliant at physical comedy. For all the understatement and deadpan, her talent is just under the surface and waiting for the right moment to strike.

I love this video it’s funny stuff 😎😎😎
i legit forgot how fucking good this story is. i always think about it whenever Taylor Dayne is brought up but haven't watched the whole thing in years. SO GOOD.
I could listen to Tig talk for hours and hours on end... love her!!!
I’m so jealous of her wife
I know it’s been 10 yrs but Taylor so real for this.
Taylor Dayne is an amazing singer and if you were around during the late 80's/early 90's you felt the power!
I honestly can't tell if tig was surprised to see her or not. she's that good. I have a friend like that. you never know with them.
Taylor Dayne does really have a lovely voice.
Her speaking voice?
@@JonnyBriers ha ha!
@@JonnyBriers Yes.
Thank you Taylor for taking it this way. Wish you lots of success on the new album
So pleased Miss Dayne made an appearance! Made my day- great story!
I guess you could say that Taylor...
*told it to her heart*
Tig Notaro sent me.
She loves your voice.
Thanks for making another album.
Here she is…
The complete and utter shock on Tig's face at the end makes it amazing
This was already a funny video, but it's the last five minutes that totally make it.
The story was interesting but when Taylor came out, that pretty put the icing on the cake.
This video makes me happier every time.
I think it so funny that video was posted by taylordayne. Good thinking.
I think it would have been so perfect if at some point during that end part Tig said
"Excuse me... I'm sorry to bother you... But I just have to say. I love your voice."
She does say to Taylor Dayne "I love your voice" at the end.
I love how Taylor said "i love it too"😂
@@jayjayfreire3015 thats the best part, how she came up with yet another iconic snise response
I didn't know this story had such happy ending. This American Life is the best!
I wasnt hooked immediately but it really grew into a great funny story.
I heard this on Radio National while walking, I had to keep forcing myself to remember the name 'Taylor Dayne' so I can google it when i get home.
Indeed, Ms. Dayne IS a good sport! This was hilarious, beautiful, and so much fun. I'm so glad you're singing again - such a dynamic, lovely voice.
Cheers!
Tig, you know the show "The Masked Singer"
You will never guess who was on😏
That was one of the funniest stories I've ever heard told. I had a hard time breathing. I had no idea just how funny Tig Notaro is.
This was funny. You want to see how un-funny she can be watch that TV show she did on Amazon Prime. What a crash and burn. NOTHING funny.
@@ntvypr4820 ok jesus dude we were going for something positive
I smirked.
Just heard this broadcast on NPR maybe 30 minutes ago....and found it so funny I had to look up the video.
I like her style of storytelling....
The Legend of Taylor Dayne 😂
Shame on me for assuming for 30 years a Black woman sang this song and OMGEEEEE she blew it OUT OF THE WATER!!!! VOICE IS JUST AS STRONG LIVE AND AS THE ORIGINAL!!! Slayed this!!!! and both of you were hilariouuuuusssss!!! Yes yes yes!🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍❤❤❤💥💥💥
This is so amazing!! Tig’s ability to be comfortable in the most uncomfortable moments to create humor out of them is truly genius!!!!!!

This is one of the best comedy sketches ever!!!
Both of these ladies are so talented.
Taylor Dayne is a really good singer, but an even better troll.
Truly, this was a master class in trollery.

I loved her songs but hate that she's mean
Sang love will lead you back, tell it to my heart. Love her.
This reminded me of when I met my idol and told her, "I know you hear this all the time, but I think you're great!"
She glared at me & said, "Yeah, I do hear that all the time," I was taken aback. My mouth fell open, & I didn't know what to say to that, so I just walked away, a little off-balanced.

Great stand up and really great to hear Taylor Dayne.
This brought me joy! Just saw Taylor's show last night and combined with the good feels from that, this video made me smile all the way through.
I didn't know who Tig Notaro was before the this american life, but I had an image of her through her voice in my head.
Tig you're my idol. Don't ever stop. Living vicariously through you
Tell it to my heart tig!
Love Will Lead You Back is an amazing song. Great memories. ❤
Great story … and great sports Taylor and Tig for doing this. Both very talented ladies in their own rights. ☮️❤️🌈
Love your voice and your humor, Taylor ❤️😂❤️ 🎤 🎶

MAN, THAT WAS GOOD!
What a great stand up just 1 topic her fascination to taylor dayne. Amazingly never felt bored.

Question: How does this not have 5 million+ views?
I needed this closure.
Tell it to my heart
Tig at her best 🤣
I'm here because of the Taylor Dayne comments on Tig Notaro clips. Grew up loving Taylor Dayne, now that I am grown up - LOVE to see her sense of humor.
I love this version of the video so much 😅❤
She is a natural, her timing is perfect! Yes dead pan, my favourite kind of humour!
I love her!
One of my favorite stories of all time
Tig: You guys... WILL NOT believe who it was....
Audience:
Tig :
Audience: Taylor Dayne?
Tig: You guys are good with patterns.
She's brilliant.
this is great. period.
How cute it Tig? My kind of humor!!

I am in love with Tig Notaro and she is so funny 😍😍😍
I love Taylor’s singing voice and her speaking voice 😂😍✅
"She's the easiest person in the world to run into." It's true!! I personally have run into her twice!
She is one of my hands-down favorite comedians of all time.
So much better when u see it! Tig is the best!
Loved when Taylor took over Tig's Twitter account for the day.
PatBenatarRulz she did? Haha I love these two
I think I know how to think now, Pat. And I think that I've got it down pat.
One of the best things I have ever seen on RUclips... Big Taylor Dane fan here!
This is so sweet. Taylor Dayne is the best for doing this.
Loved this!
What is it about this monologue? It is so clean, simple and funny.
Great job!
I saw Taylor Dane last week. I have to say that this is the first time I have watched Tig, but Tig, you are HILARIOUS.
This has honestly made my day! Because I also LOVE Taylor Dayne. Taylor, I saw you in Hawaii a few years ago! Aloha 🌺🌺🌺
And did you say anything to Taylor Dayne??? lol
Kyle's existential meltdown is exactly how i imagine i'd react to the same situation
I remember hearing this on the radio show - great to finally see it! I love Tig Notaro and her podcast is effing hilarious.
I laughed like hell. Deadpan is my crack 😝😝😝
She always make me smile.
anybody else see that Tig mouthed, "show 'em what you got Tig."? lol fantastic
You both are fabulous! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
This story never gets old, but this is the icing on the cake!
This is like a 90-second-long bit stretched out to almost twelve minutes, and there are no jokes in it. So why am I laughing so much?
