00:00From Hollywood, it's Jimmy Kimmel Live!
00:04Tonight, Noel Weiland, Tig Notaro,
00:08plus music from Raphael Siddiq, Miles Keaton, and Ludwig Gorenson,
00:13with the Kletons!
00:15And now, Jimmy Kimmel!
00:31Thank you. Thank you very much. I'm Jimmy. I'm the host.
00:36It's a great time to hear. Thanks for coming.
00:39Thanks for joining us here at our headquarters in Los Angeles.
00:44Please, you know, I'm going to tell you something.
00:46There's a lot going on.
00:47There's some very serious stuff going on, not just here,
00:50all around the world, and yet, I personally, I cannot help
00:54but to stop everything when there are monkeys on the loose.
00:58Not here. You can relax.
01:01The loose monkeys have been spotted in and around St. Louis.
01:04Or have they? This is a weird story.
01:07Yesterday, we learned that a troop of vervet monkeys
01:10were seen at a park in other parts of northern St. Louis.
01:13But as word spread and the local authorities there
01:15began to investigate, a flood of photos and videos
01:19started to appear online, which at first seemed like real photographs.
01:23But then, the monkeys were wearing Cardinals jerseys
01:27and face paint to the point where animal control didn't know
01:31what was real and what was fake.
01:33Now, this is video of one of the escapees,
01:36or at least it appears to be video of one of the escapees.
01:40Honestly, we have no idea if that is real or AI.
01:43What do you think, Guillermo?
01:44I think it's real.
01:46I think it's real, too, but for the first time ever,
01:49we are not sure whether that's a real monkey or not.
01:51It became so confusing that the St. Louis Department of Health
01:54had to ask residents to please knock it off
01:57with all the fake monkey photos.
01:59Were you guys having a hard time figuring out
02:01where the monkeys were because of all the AI Photoshop photos?
02:04We did receive a tremendous amount of information from the community,
02:07but it was a challenge verifying the authenticity of some of that information.
02:11Are we 100% sure the monkeys are real?
02:15We have had one verified sighting by a St. Louis police officer
02:18that verified the location of one monkey.
02:20By the way, I think all press conferences should include the phrase,
02:23are we 100% sure the monkeys are real?
02:28The best advice is to contact the Citizen Service Bureau
02:30and let us know the location of the monkey
02:33so that we can respond and contain.
02:35Please do not interact with the monkeys.
02:37They are highly intelligent and unpredictable.
02:39Letting us know where they're located is the best next step.
02:42Thanks, everybody.
02:43I don't think that was real, but I do have a message
02:46to anyone who's posting fake AI monkey sightings.
02:50Number one, you're obstructing an active investigation.
02:52And number two, it's very funny.
02:55This afternoon, the Department of Health announced
02:57that they have ceased their search for the monkeys,
03:00which means either the animals are still out there somewhere
03:03and they gave up, or they're dead and they don't want to say it,
03:06or they never existed at all, like some kind of monkey version
03:09of the sixth sense.
03:11And then there was another primate sighting,
03:13an orangutan popped up in a very populated area of Detroit.
03:18Isn't it nice to have a president that can go off telepractic?
03:21You're so lucky I allow you into this room to even be with me.
03:24The mosquito and a certain snake, which is not a very nice reptile.
03:28This is a brutal reptile.
03:29You got bit, it was over.
03:30It was just saying bye-bye, everybody.
03:32The mosquito and the snake.
03:34I don't know if we should have done that as well.
03:36I don't know.
03:37I told him not to do it.
03:38Donald Trump thinks he's hot stuff.
03:40They rigged the election on you.
03:42He won the electoral college, you know.
03:43Secure our border.
03:44He's very optimistic.
03:45Hey, hey, hey, ping.
03:47Ah.
03:48Ah.
03:50Ah.
03:52Ah.
03:55Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
03:58That little routine at the end there was our president
04:01making fun of our former president, Joe Biden, who has cancer.
04:04When he goes low, he then goes a little bit lower.
04:07King Kong was in the Motor City today.
04:09He gave the finger and said F you to a worker at Ford who called him a pedophile protector.
04:15And then Trump delivered another banana speech at the Detroit Economic Club, where he attempted
04:19to convince those in attendance that the protests in Minneapolis are not real.
04:25They're fake.
04:27One of the reasons they're doing these fake riots, I mean, they're just terrible.
04:30I mean, you see it's so fake.
04:32Shame, shame, shame.
04:33You see the woman.
04:34That's all practice.
04:35They go practice.
04:36They go to areas, they take hotel rooms, and they all practice together.
04:40That's right.
04:40They practice and they order room service and they practice.
04:45It's like Motel January 6th is where they do it.
04:49And by the way, they're not riots.
04:53They're real.
04:54First, they want us to believe that we did not see what we all saw happen to Rene Good.
04:58Now he wants us to believe the protests aren't real.
05:02It's like the emperor's new clothes in reverse.
05:04He's telling us we're the ones who are naked while they do their best to cover everything
05:09up.
05:09Not only has the Trump administration iced local authorities out of the FBI investigation into
05:14the killing of Rene Good.
05:16Six senior prosecutors in Minnesota stepped down today after being pressured by the Justice
05:21Department to investigate Rene Good's widow, who was the passenger in the car when she was shot.
05:27They're investigating the victims instead of the perpetrator.
05:31And this morning Trump posted, do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community
05:36in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers.
05:40Drug dealers and addicts.
05:42Rapists.
05:43Violent released and escaped prisoners.
05:45Dangerous people from foreign mental institutions.
05:48And insane asylums.
05:50And other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention.
05:54What could be more dangerous than a murderer rapist escape from an insane asylum?
06:00Godzilla?
06:01I don't know.
06:02But fear not great people of Minnesota, the day of reckoning and retribution is coming.
06:08Does anyone else miss the days when the president didn't sound like the undertaker at WrestleMania?
06:14I mean, seriously, would somebody get this hyperglycemic five-year-old, a fidget spinner?
06:19He needs something to do with his hands.
06:21I don't know.
06:24I really don't know what this old nut is rambling about.
06:29But the protests in Minneapolis are real enough for the MAGAverse media to descend upon them.
06:36This Fox wannabe channel called Real America's Voice sent a reporter to the scene.
06:40Now, stick with this because the woman's kind of annoying at first, but it gets very funny as it goes
06:45along.
06:46I'm just trying to have an intelligent conversation.
06:49We're just trying to have an intelligent conversation.
06:52I'm a tall man.
06:53I'm a big and tall man.
06:54I don't act this way.
06:56I'm a big and tall man.
06:58Okay.
06:58You want to engage in an intelligent conversation?
07:01A big and tall man.
07:02This is what we're dealing with on the ground.
07:04Yep.
07:05All over.
07:06That's right.
07:07He's a badass.
07:07Actually, I'm very respectful.
07:09He's a badass.
07:09And you're not respectful at all in any way.
07:12He's a badass big man.
07:13Badass.
07:14He's a badass big man.
07:16He's a badass big man.
07:16Do you believe in illegal immigration?
07:17Look at this big man.
07:18What a big man.
07:20What a big man.
07:20What a big man.
07:22What a big man.
07:23What a smart man.
07:24He's so intelligent.
07:26This man, he's got nothing to say.
07:32Back to you, Jeff.
07:35And with all this going on here, with all the chaos Trump's created at home, he's still
07:42talking about Greenland.
07:44He still believes that Denmark should sever their 300 plus year relationship with Greenland
07:50and turn it over to us.
07:51The only problem is Trump never bothered to ask Greenland what they prefer in this weird
07:58custody battle he's created.
08:00The premier of Greenland said today, we prefer to stay with Denmark.
08:05Do you see that as the final word?
08:06Who said that?
08:06The premier of Greenland.
08:10Well, that's their problem.
08:12That's their problem.
08:14I disagree with him.
08:15I don't know who he is.
08:16Don't know anything about him.
08:17But that's going to be a big problem for him.
08:20He doesn't even know who runs the country he wants to take.
08:25That's our Gangistan.
08:27We are, you know, we're coming up on a full year into Trump's second term.
08:31And so far, somehow it is so much worse than I think any of us thought it would be.
08:35I will say this.
08:36He has been running the country like one of his businesses into bankruptcy.
08:40According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the prices he said he'd get down on day one
08:45are up 2.7% from a year ago.
08:48Though in fairness, the number is expected to go down after he arrests everyone who works
08:52at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
08:54But one thing Trump has been doing very well is distracting us from the fact that his Justice
09:00Department still hasn't released more than 2 million Epstein files.
09:04But fear not, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, James Gomer Comer, is demanding
09:09that the president be held accountable.
09:11Just not this president.
09:13As a result of Bill Clinton not showing up for his lawful subpoena, which again was voted
09:18on unanimously by the committee in a bipartisan manner, we will move next week in the House
09:23Oversight Committee markup to hold former President Clinton in contempt of Congress.
09:28Yeah.
09:29Good job.
09:30Well, come on.
09:31Now, I'm sure based on the fact that his name is all over the files we've seen so far,
09:36he'll, if he's bringing Clinton in, he'll bring Trump in for questioning too, right?
09:41Yeah.
09:44Well, President Clinton's, President Trump has answered thousands of questions about Jeffrey
09:51Epstein.
09:52In fact, I would say today, well, you all ask him questions every day.
09:56He answers questions every day.
09:59Oh, okay.
10:00Right.
10:00Well, who even asked him?
10:02I mean, what did you and Epstein do together?
10:04I'm not asking him that.
10:05You ask him that.
10:06I gotta get out of here.
10:08And then we have that dope Pete Hegseth, who may have actually committed more war crimes
10:12than previously estimated.
10:14Multiple officials confirmed to the New York Times that the plane they used in those boat
10:19attacks was not painted in a traditional military style, which violates the laws of armed conflict.
10:25You are not allowed to disguise a war plane as a passenger plane or any other kind of plane,
10:32because we don't want our enemies shooting at a FedEx or Delta flight.
10:36It's a war crime called perfidy.
10:38These guys are committing crimes we've never even heard of before.
10:41I didn't ever heard that word, perfidy.
10:43But now, I mean, not only are we going to need a Nuremberg trial at the end of this,
10:46we're going to need a bacon double Nuremberg with cheese trial after this.
10:51Part of the reason that the Pentagon keeps running afoul of the law is because Pete Hegseth fired a lot
11:00of the military lawyers,
11:01which are known as Jags. And, you know, after he's done with Jag, he is coming for NCIS.
11:06Make no mistake about it.
11:08Hegseth dropped by Lockheed Martin in Fort Worth today to fire yet another round in his war against woke.
11:14We want to get rid of the distractions and the debris. No more DEI. No more dudes in dresses.
11:27You got to read the room, you know?
11:30When you go through this rogues gallery that makes up Trump's cabinet now,
11:34you realize we had it kind of good the first time around.
11:37You remember Trump's former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson?
11:41Well, Dr. Ben Carson, he has a new job with the USDA.
11:49Three cheers for whole milk.
11:54Good stuff.
12:00I'm glad he's back. I missed him. I really did.
12:03You know, he's been asleep for the past five years.
12:05At least we aren't at war with milk, I guess.
12:08Donald Trump right now is as unpopular as any president since Nixon.
12:13He has a 54% disapproval rating.
12:16But somehow there are still 40% of Americans who support him,
12:20which is hard to understand until you get to the bottom of how many of them stay positive.
12:27Explosions ringing out in Venezuela's capital city.
12:29Massive rally filling the streets of Minneapolis today.
12:32It's now or never to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
12:36America faces unprecedented problems.
12:39I'll say.
12:40Now there's a solution.
12:42Introducing the magical Magasack.
12:44Wow. The climate crisis is gone.
12:47Yes, it's just that simple.

13:05To Jeffrey Epstein's birthday doodle.
13:07Or anything you really don't want to see.
13:09It was an act of domestic terrorism.
13:11Take it from real Americans with real bags over their hands.
13:16Order your Magasack today and receive Magamuffs absolutely free.
13:20What now?
13:22Magamuffs.
13:23Huh?
13:24Magamuffs.
13:25Okay.
13:26Order now or don't.
13:28Nothing matters.
13:29Give me some drugs.
13:34I'll take three.
13:35We have a good show for tonight.
13:37Kid Notaro is here.
13:39We have music from the movie Sinners.
13:40And we'll be right back with Noah Wiley.
13:43So stick around.
13:53Hi there.
13:53Welcome back.
13:54Tonight, a very funny woman who is part of the new show Star Trek Starfleet Academy
13:59and Star Trek.
14:00Made a new documentary called Come See Me in the Good Light.
14:03Tig Notaro is with us tonight.
14:05And then later.
14:08The score for this movie won a Golden Globe on Sunday.
14:11This is the Sinners original motion picture soundtrack.
14:14Music from Raphael Sadiq, Miles Keaton, and Ludwig Gorenson tonight.
14:18Tomorrow night, we'll be joined by Johnny Knoxville and Chase Infinity with music from Ed Sheeran and an all-star
14:26band.
14:27Should I say who was in the band?
14:28Yeah, please go ahead.
14:29Yes.
14:31You want to say who's in the band?
14:33No, I don't remember.
14:36Well, Dave Grohl's in the band.
14:38I think it's his birthday tomorrow.
14:42Blake Slatkin, Rami Jaffe, Pino Palladino, and John Mayer are in the band.
14:47So you'd have to pay a pretty penny to have that line up at your wedding.
14:51I'll tell you that.
14:52Our first guest tonight commands an emergency room by day and award shows by night.
14:57He plays Dr. Robbie on the massively popular show, The Pit.
15:01Please welcome Critics' Choice Emmy and Golden Globe winner, Noah Wiley.
15:19How are you?
15:20I'm doing well.
15:20Very good.
15:21Good to see you.
15:22Nice to see you.
15:23Congratulations.
15:23Congratulations.
15:24Oh, my goodness.
15:26I heard the whole family's here with you tonight.
15:28Yeah, I brought my wife and all my kids.
15:29Three kids?
15:30They're big fans of yours.
15:31How old are the kids?
15:3223, 20, and 10.
15:33Oh, great.
15:34Wow, 23, 20, and 10.
15:35Quite a spread, yeah.
15:36All right.
15:36So you're still in it, right?
15:38Yeah, I'm still making lunches.
15:40And we just lost our last tooth.
15:42So Tooth Fairy won't be making any more visits to our house, which is a little melancholy.
15:45You never know.
15:46There could be a fight.
15:47Yeah, I could lose a tooth.
15:48That's true.
15:51On Sunday night, you won the Golden Globe for Best Actor and Best Drama Series as well.
15:59You're a producer on the show.
16:01Did you celebrate after the show?
16:03We did.
16:04My wife and I went out, and we pretended like it was 1997.
16:07She didn't pretend like it was 1997, because she would have been underage.
16:10But I did.
16:13And you don't recover as quickly as you do.
16:15You hit it pretty hard?
16:16I did.
16:17It was one of those nights that, you know, I didn't really want to end.
16:20They happen every 30 years of my life, and I didn't want it to be over.
16:25So we stayed out late, and then, unfortunately, I had to be back at work the next morning.
16:28For you, partying, like, 1997 is what?
16:31Like, having, like, drinking a bottle of tequila with Eric LaSalle?
16:35Is that, uh...
16:36You got it half right.
16:39So did you have to work the next morning?
16:41Yeah, bright and early.
16:42You did?
16:43Yeah.
16:43We're shooting our finale right now.
16:45We're doing...
16:47Hold on.
16:48Are we on it?
16:49Yeah.
16:50This is part of it, right here.
16:52That's awesome.
16:52This is on Jimmy Kimmel.
16:53Uh, yeah, we finish a week from today.
16:55We finish next Tuesday.
16:56So, home stretch.
16:57That made...
16:58That's so interesting to me.
16:59I hear that all the time from people.
17:01They're like, yeah, we won the Emmy, and then we had to be at work.
17:03At what time you had to be...
17:04Did you have to be at work?
17:05Uh, they pushed the call a little bit until about 7.30 or 8.
17:08So...
17:08Oh, wow.
17:09It was still kind of brutal.
17:10We didn't get home until late.
17:11But, you know, we're playing the 15th hour of the shift.
17:14So, when you go to work and you look kind of crappy, it's actually kind of beneficial.
17:18Maybe you should have an award show every night before.
17:21Uh-huh.
17:21This is something that, um, your...
17:24Oh, yeah.
17:24Well, I assume this is your 10-year-old did this.
17:27Yeah, that's...
17:27Not the kids that were in their 20s.
17:29I, uh, my 10-year-old daughter was afraid I wasn't gonna win, so she made one for me.
17:33When I came home, it was waiting for me, so...
17:35This is the aluminum globe.
17:37Yeah.
17:38It's nice.
17:39It looks like they're friends.
17:40She got the height perfectly.
17:42She got the proportions perfectly.
17:44Yeah, she did do a good job.
17:45And I don't mind saying it's the one I'm more proud of.
17:49Aw.
17:49That's right.
17:49Yeah.
17:50That's true.
17:54I'm sure your competitors in the category would take that golden globe off your hands for
17:59you.
17:59Um, and it was also, and you mentioned this in your acceptance speech, your wife Sarah's
18:04birthday...
18:05Yes.
18:05...on the night, on Sunday night.
18:06Yes.
18:07January 11th is my wife's birthday.
18:08Which makes it a...
18:09The night's all...
18:10Becomes all about you.
18:11The day was about me.
18:12The night was about me, so she was kind enough to go with me to the Golden Globes.
18:16And we've made it now a birthday month for her, so we're gonna be celebrating all month
18:20long.
18:20She's told me that's how she wants to handle it.
18:22But...
18:24But you'll be the one getting all the awards during her birthday month, yes?
18:28Yes, but she's, you know, um...
18:31How do you do a birthday month?
18:33I'm curious about that.
18:34I, uh...
18:34Is there something every day?
18:35Well, I buy all this stuff on Instagram, and it takes forever for it to arrive, so it's
18:39like staggering arrivals of gifts.
18:41Do you buy stuff on Instagram?
18:42Four weeks, and we just gotta keep that rolling through the month.
18:44Yeah.
18:44It's weird.
18:45Everything you buy on Instagram comes from 5,000 miles away.
18:51True.
18:52And rarely resembles what you thought you bought on Instagram.
18:54Also true.
18:55Yeah.
18:55I am so underwhelmed by this juicer that I just bought, this hand juicer.
18:59It really is not what they advertise at all.
19:02You bought a hand juicer on Instagram.
19:04I actually hit it three times, so I got three of them by accident.
19:07And, um...
19:09Do you need one?
19:11Yeah, I hear they're terrific.
19:13They're really good.
19:14Do you find that the algorithm is now figuring out what you like?
19:17Survival gear, kitchen appliances, and old movie clips.
19:21That's pretty much my algorithm.
19:22Really?
19:22It serves you all?
19:23Oh, I see.
19:24That's the...
19:24You don't buy the old movies.
19:25They just show them to you.
19:27Yes.
19:27Yeah, okay.
19:27That makes sense.
19:29Um, you...
19:29Now, when your kids...
19:31Were the kids at the Critics' Choice Awards or no?
19:34No.
19:34No, no.
19:35I took my wife to that one alone.
19:36Yep.
19:37You took your wife to that alone.
19:38Because I know your daughter's like a K-pop demon hunter.
19:41She is.
19:42Who isn't?
19:43Yeah.
19:45And they were...
19:46They...
19:47We had this amazingly awkward moment happen at the end of the evening.
19:50We were all waiting to go to our cars.
19:52It was raining that night.
19:53Everything was wet.
19:53And the producer from the K-pop demon hunters was getting into the SUV with the other K-pop demon
20:00hunters and slipped on the back of her dress and fell out of the car and hit her head pretty
20:04good on the floor.
20:05And, uh, there was like nobody around.
20:07So I ran over and was like, you okay?
20:10And, uh, she was okay.
20:12She had a little nick on her elbow.
20:14Somebody showed up with a Band-Aid and handed it to me.
20:16So I'm putting a Band-Aid on her.
20:17And I look in the car and they've all got their phones and they're all filming Dr. Robbie treating a
20:22K-pop demon hunter.
20:24We almost needed you in the audience a few minutes ago.
20:27She wanted to go to the club the other night.
20:28And I had to get up to allow them to get past me.
20:30And so I stood up.
20:31And as she went past me, she gave me a little kiss on the cheek and thanked me for my...
20:34That is very nice.
20:35That is very nice.
20:36And did you tell your daughter about this?
20:38I saved the K-pop demon hunters.
20:39I did.
20:40I did.
20:40I saved their lives.
20:41They would have succumbed to demons had I not been there.
20:44I heard you collect baseball cards.
20:47I collect everything.
20:49I'm sort of a...
20:50Yeah.
20:51What do you mean by everything?
20:52What sorts of things?
20:53Anything that interests me.
20:54I have to have 10 or 11 or 12 of them.
20:56Three juicers?
20:57All of them.
20:58Yeah.
20:59But I've been collecting baseball cards since I was a kid.
21:01That was my first collection.
21:02I loved baseball cards when I was a kid.
21:04What's your team?
21:04Dodgers?
21:05Born and raised in LA.
21:06Dodger fan.
21:09I believe that's the world championship.
21:12The world champion Dodgers team.
21:13What's your prized possession?
21:15Like, what item in your collection is most valuable?
21:18My stepdad's from Brooklyn.
21:19His father once gave me as an heirloom gift a 1952 Brooklyn Dodgers baseball signed by the
21:25whole team with Jackie Robinson, Jimmy Reese, Duke Snyder, Roy Campanillo.
21:30Has it been used?
21:31Has it been played with?
21:32I don't know if it was game used, but it's in a nice little blue site box so that nothing
21:36Really?
21:37Yeah.
21:37Wow.
21:38And your wife's okay with all your collections?
21:40The stuff that she doesn't like, she says, would look good in my office.
21:43Uh-huh.
21:44So my office has got a lot of stuff in it at the moment.
21:47Yeah, I'm sort of like a hoarder with a big enough house that you can't really tell
21:50how bad the problem is.
21:52Yet.
21:53Yet.
21:53All right.
21:54We're gonna take a break.
21:55Noah Wiley's here.
21:56His show is called The Pit Season 2.
21:57It's happening on HBO Max right now.
22:00We'll be right back after this.
22:06Why?
22:07For not longer?
22:08Because tomorrow I am leaving to go on sabbatical.
22:11He's leaving us for three months on a motorcycle.
22:14Motorcycle?
22:15You're joking.
22:16Why would you do this?
22:18Why?
22:19Why?
22:19Why?
22:20Because, uh...
22:20You middle-aged man.
22:21Don't be stupid.
22:23Don't hold back.
22:24Tell me how you really feel.
22:25Forgive me for being blunt, Dr. Rabinovich.
22:28But how old are you, huh?
22:2950?
22:30Ish?
22:31Ish.
22:3250-ish year old man on a motorcycle.
22:36Very sad.
22:38That is Noah Wiley in Season 2 of The Pit.
22:41This is Thursday nights on HBO Max.
22:44You know, um...
22:46Everybody is super excited about Season 2 starting.
22:49The show opens.
22:51You're on a motorcycle.
22:52The wind is blowing through your hair.
22:54There's a band that I looked up.
22:56It turns out they're a band from Pittsburgh.
22:58Pittsburgh band.
22:58The Clarks.
22:59The music is blasting.
23:01You're driving to the hospital.
23:03But the helmet is not on your head.
23:05As, you know, we learned there about the motorcycle.
23:08It's like, is that something that you decided to do?
23:11Was that part of this intentional?
23:13Not initially.
23:13It was not part of the design.
23:16But we got to Pittsburgh to shoot the scene.
23:18And the night before, I had dinner with John Wells,
23:20who was directing the episode, our executive producer.
23:22And I said, I don't know that Robbie wears the helmet.
23:25I think he tells people he wears the helmet.
23:28And I sort of made the analogy that when Gene Wilder
23:30took Willy Wonka, the part in the Chocolate Factory,
23:34he agreed to do it if he could make his character introduction
23:37where he comes out with a cane and a limp,
23:39and then he walks up to the gate and he falls forward.
23:41He comes up into this very elegant sort of bow,
23:44and they asked him why he wanted to do that.
23:46And he said, because from that point forward,
23:47they won't know if I'm telling the truth or not.
23:49And I thought, when we're talking about a guy
23:51who's on a mental health journey, who's resistant
23:55to getting the help that he probably should get,
23:57what better clue could we give the audience
23:59that he's playing a little fast and loose with his life
24:01than to let them in on this detail that he's not telling
24:04the people that he works with that love him?
24:06That an ER doctor is not wearing a helmet.
24:09Which, do you ride a motorcycle?
24:12No.
24:12I learned to ride for a show I did up in Canada a few years ago
24:15called Falling Skies, that we had to ride dirt bikes.
24:19And I never really got that comfortable on them,
24:21so I took the training course for this to get class certified.
24:26Uh-huh.
24:26And how long were you on the bike without the helmet?
24:29Not that long. Not that long.
24:31The season takes place on the 4th of July, which has to be,
24:34it's got to be the biggest day of the year for...
24:36Yeah. ...for emergency rooms, right?
24:38Yeah. 4th of July is a big one.
24:39Halloween's a big one.
24:40New Year's Eve is a big one.
24:42Full Moon Saturday night, these are all legendary ER,
24:44you know, evenings.
24:45But 4th of July is special.
24:47We're mixing patriotism, alcohol, and fireworks.
24:49It's a...
24:50Your co-star Taylor Dearden was here last week,
24:53and she said that when doctors...
24:55I asked her what doctors ask her about when they approach her,
24:58and she said that you need more butt stuff in the show.
25:03Uh, yeah.
25:05Yeah, I don't disagree.
25:06You know?
25:07I mean, you talk to most doctors,
25:08and they'll tell you that that's a big part of the practice.
25:10Um...
25:10It's a big part of the practice.
25:12It really is?
25:12Well, we have a great technical advisor on our show.
25:15He's a brilliant secret weapon named Dr. Joe Sachs.
25:18He doesn't like that stuff.
25:19He thinks that that's the low-hanging fruit of the medical show,
25:22is when you go to that kind of a case.
25:24So he's trying to raise the bar a little.
25:26I see.
25:26He thinks of it as fruit.
25:27Yeah.
25:28Interesting.
25:33That's a weird analogy.
25:34Yeah.
25:34I say that now.
25:36Um, one of the great things about the success of the show
25:38is that you have been able to use your platform, um,
25:42to talk about, uh, medical issues, things that are important.
25:46In fact, we have a public service announcement, uh, here.
25:49Oh, good. You have a copy of that.
25:50Yeah.
25:50Would you mind if, uh, I think we're premiering it here?
25:53Actually, uh, here it is.
25:55The measles vaccine will turn your son into a furry.
25:59A pansexual furry.
26:02Hi.
26:03I'm Noah Wiley.
26:04I played Dr. Michael Robby Rabinovich on The Pit.
26:07I also played Dr. John Carter on ER,
26:09but I am not a real doctor.
26:12Just like most of you are not real doctors.
26:14I was cast because I have a trustworthy face
26:18and can convincingly deliver complicated medical lines.
26:21Like,
26:22I'm sorry, Mr. Wargath.
26:24I'm afraid that you have advanced Phenopalatine ganglion neuralgia.
26:30I have no idea what I just said.
26:32But that doesn't matter.
26:33Because when it comes to medicine,
26:34I do my own research and I go with my gut.
26:37For instance, I know that raw milk is good for you,
26:40but raw chicken?
26:41Even better.
26:43Especially when it comes in a smoothie.
26:50I know that 5G towers give you COVID.
26:53And that vitamin C isn't real.
26:55It was created by Tropicana to sell juice.
26:58The flu vaccine will take four inches off your penis or vagina.
27:02And if you take probiotics and antibiotics at the same time,
27:07you will achieve the perfect level of biotics.
27:12Flintstones vitamins will make you hard as a rock.
27:16And did you know that you can't get pregnant in a hot tub?
27:23Yes? Hello? This is he?
27:26Yes, I would be honored to head up the Center for Disease Control.
27:30No, thank you, Mr. President.
27:35Well, it looks like I'm a medical expert after all.
27:38I'm Noah Wiley.
27:40Don't do anything until I say it's okay.
27:44This has been a message from the CDC.
27:48Astrology is the only true science!
27:54Important words.
27:55Thank you for sharing that.
27:57Season two of The Pit.
27:59Thursdays on HBO Max.
28:00Noah Wiley, everybody.
28:02Thank you, Noah.
28:02We'll be back.
28:03Let's take a look.
28:09This week on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Johnny Knoxville, Jesse Buckley, Chase Infinity, and Chris Pratt.
28:18Plus music from Ed Sheeran.
28:28Hi there, hello, Matt.
28:29Music from the Center of Soundtrack is coming up.
28:32Our next guest is a stand-up comic actor, writer, producer, and America's Top Tig.
28:38Her critically acclaimed documentary, Come See Me in the Good Light, is on Apple TV now.
28:42Please welcome Tig Notaro.
28:56How are you?
28:57I'm doing well.
28:59How are you?
28:59It's very good to see you.
29:00I know you're a very busy person.
29:01You're touring.
29:02Are you touring right now?
29:03Tomorrow night, Fort Lauderdale.
29:06Fort Lauderdale tomorrow.
29:07Beginning of my tour.
29:08You're podcasting regularly.
29:10Handsome.
29:10You are.
29:10That's my podcast name, and I'm handsome, but yes.
29:14You're star trekking, which is kind of a big deal, right?
29:16It is.
29:17It's a very big deal.
29:18Yeah.
29:18Well, yes.
29:21Are you a Trekkie?
29:22Um, I am on Star Trek.
29:26Um, I, I, my brother and I used to watch the original series.
29:31You did, yeah.
29:31And then I was on a series called Star Trek Discovery.
29:35Right.
29:35And then my character just popped over to Starfleet Academy.
29:38Star Trek Starfleet Academy.
29:40You were on Starfleet Academy.
29:41And in fact, you were, uh...
29:42With Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti.
29:45Not bad.
29:46Not bad.
29:47And you were, um, you were on the, uh, the Star Trek float.
29:51At the Rose Parade, uh, a couple weeks ago.
29:53In the pouring rain.
29:54And, um, there you are with Rebecca Romijn and, um, your co-star, uh, Kareem Diane and
30:00George Takei.
30:01Yes.
30:02Sulu, who is...
30:03His hand is permanently like that now, correct?
30:06After a terrible Star Trek injury.
30:09They really went all out with the production value on this, um...
30:12I mean, look at that.
30:13It's beautiful.
30:14Did you get to keep this?
30:16Well, yeah, the whole float is in my, uh, driveway.
30:20And they're all still on it.
30:22Which is fun.
30:24Was it raining hard?
30:25It was...
30:26It was very cold and it was raining on and off.
30:29A little...
30:30Any rain's a little too hard for my taste, right?
30:33Yes, yes.
30:33Especially during a parade.
30:34Yeah.
30:34They literally rained on your parade.
30:36Yes.
30:37And, um, the parade was over two hours.
30:40And, you know, we're all waving and doing the Star Trek...
30:45What?
30:46I can't even remember what it's called, but...
30:47Live Long and Prosper.
30:48Yeah.
30:48Right.
30:49And, uh, at the very end, when I was saying my goodbyes to everybody, George...
30:55George, who is from the original Star Trek series, he said,
30:58And, um, what organization are you involved with?
31:05And I had never met him.
31:07I had just been on a parade...
31:09In a parade with him, waving.
31:11And I said...
31:11I thought he was kidding.
31:12And I said, uh, organization?
31:14What do you mean?
31:15And he said, what...
31:16What...
31:16What organization are you with?
31:18And I said, Star Trek?
31:20And he said, oh, you're with Star Trek.
31:22In what capacity?
31:25And I...
31:27I said, well, I'm an actor and...
31:29And that's what every...
31:30He said, oh, you're all actors on Star Trek.
31:33Can I...
31:33I was like, yes.
31:35Um, and I...
31:36I just...
31:37I can only assume he just thought we were escorting him through the...
31:40Through the ring.
31:42I...
31:43It was so...
31:44It was such a funny moment.
31:47Because, like, you know, Rebecca and I, we've both been around for a beat.
31:52And, um, it just, word hadn't reached him yet.
31:56But...
31:57Well, he knows now.
31:58That's for sure.
31:59He knows now.
31:59Maybe.
32:00Like...
32:02You, uh...
32:03I want to talk about your documentary.
32:04Yeah.
32:04You were one of the producers of a documentary about your friend that is getting...
32:08Yes.
32:08It's really...
32:08You won the award at Sundance, I know.
32:11You've got, um, Oscar buzz, the whole thing.
32:13You're on the Oscar short list and all that stuff.
32:16Yeah.
32:16Which must be exciting.
32:17The subject of the documentary is a close...
32:20Was a close friend of yours.
32:22Yeah.
32:22Andrea Gibson.
32:23Um, I...
32:25I knew for 25 years.
32:27And Andrea was the poet laureate of the state of Colorado.
32:31And, um, Andrea had stage four ovarian cancer.
32:36And, uh, my friend, Steph Willen, who's here with me today.
32:39We were on the phone, um, a couple of years ago trying to figure out how to help Andrea
32:45while they were going through all of the health struggles.
32:48And we were working on Andrea's podcast, um, trying to figure out editing and how to produce this.
32:55And Steph just said, I feel like Andrea's life right now would make a really great documentary.
33:02And I was like, oh, my God.
33:05And I immediately got on the phone and, and reached out to the director and producer who took on the
33:12project.
33:12And at first, they were like, a poet with, um, ovarian cancer.
33:18Hmm.
33:18Okay, um, we'll get back to you.
33:21You know?
33:22Because we had talked previously about maybe working together.
33:24And they said they wanted to do a funny documentary.
33:27And that's what I brought them.
33:29And, um...
33:30But anyway, they, they looked into Andrea's poetry.
33:33And, like, three days later, they were like, oh, my God, we're buying plane tickets.
33:37And we're going out there next week.
33:38And so, um, yeah, we made this film.
33:41You have a clip of the movie.
33:43I do have a clip of the movie.
33:45Do you need to explain what we're going to see?
33:47Yeah.
33:48Um, Andrea is, um, I mean, it's a very brief moment of a poem that Andrea wrote called The Little
33:56Things.
33:56And, um, it's basically, you know, oftentimes when people are, um, at the end of life, they want to jump
34:04from an airplane or do all these wild things.
34:06But Andrea just wanted to do the little things in life.
34:12And it's really beautiful.
34:14Uh, and that's the clip.
34:15These are my biggest, tiniest dreams.
34:21To sit with the morning dove who cries for her lost love.
34:26To mend a friend's clothes with my grandmother's thimbles.
34:31How about my power drill?
34:33We might need your power drill.
34:35There are four squirrels here.
34:36And they fight when I bring out nuts.
34:39And so I got these houses.
34:42To watch a squirrel rebuild her nest in the only pine that survived the storm.
34:48Yes!
34:49Yes!
34:50Yes!
34:51Ah, that's nice.
34:54And did Andrea get to see the finished documentary?
34:58Yeah.
34:59Andrea very unfortunately and sadly passed away, uh, this summer.
35:06But, uh, Andrea was able to come out to Sundance and see the film.
35:12Oh, that's nice.
35:13Aw.
35:13And now you are, um, I know you were at the Governor's Award for the Oscars.
35:19And, um, this is a weird...
35:21You know, where you can typically find me at places like that.
35:24This is...
35:25Um, but, uh, and I know this is a weird transition.
35:28I'm aware of that.
35:29Uh, please save your comments.
35:33But, um, you, uh, Tom Cruise was getting an award at this, uh, this Governor's Award.
35:39An Oscar.
35:40An honorary Oscar.
35:40Correct?
35:41Yes.
35:41Yes.
35:42And you approached Tom.
35:43Well, I've been told for years that people feel like I look like Tom Cruise.
35:51And it's not every day that I...
35:54I've never been in a room with Tom Cruise.
35:57And he got off the stage and he was mingling with everybody else.
36:03Um, and, uh, I was like...
36:05I told...
36:05I was there with the producer of Come See Me in the Good Light.
36:08And I was like, I'm beelining for Tom Cruise.
36:12And I'm gonna meet him.
36:14Uh, my wife has always thought he was really cute.
36:16And I always told her that she married the DIY lesbian version.
36:21And, um, low rent.
36:24Um, so anyway, I beeline through all the security, all the reps.
36:29I, I know his agent a little bit.
36:32And so I was just like, take every picture of me.
36:35Like, anything where...
36:36Even if it's the back of my head near Tom Cruise, just take every picture.
36:40I tell Jess, the producer, and then I get up to Tom's agent.
36:44And I said, hi, uh, Ma, I, you know, could I meet Tom?
36:48I just wanted to show him a picture.
36:50Everybody tells me I look like him.
36:52And she was so formal.
36:53And she said, Tom, comedian Tig Notaro.
36:57And the, the crowd parts.
36:59And I walk in and I, I got to show him, um, this picture.
37:03And I just said, listen, um, if, uh, if you ever need anybody to play your gay sister.
37:12I mean, I, I look more like Tom Cruise than Tom Cruise looks like Tom Cruise in this picture.
37:18Hold on here.
37:19All right.
37:19Let's have a look.
37:23Yeah, that's, that's Tom.
37:28And now, and we have Tig Notaro.
37:37I like it.
37:38Come see me in a good light is on Apple TV now.
37:41And Star Trek Starfleet Academy premieres Thursday on Paramount Plus.
37:45Tig Notaro, everyone.
37:47We'll be back.
38:15We'll be back.
38:17It's closer to another second time.
38:19I hope we don't hurt you now for we don't lose your mind.
38:24When I was just a boy about eight years old, you threw me a Bible on that Mississippi road.
38:35See, I love you, Papa. You did all you can do. They say the truth hurts, so I lied to
38:45you. Yes, I lied to you. I love the blues.
39:04Oh, oh, oh, oh. Somebody take me in your arms tonight. All right. Somebody take me in your arms tonight.
39:33Come on, Miles, say it long.
40:00I know the truth hurts.
