Tig Notaro on Grief, Comedy, and Life After Loss
About this episode
Gwyneth Paltrow discusses grief, comedy, and the impact of illness with Tig Notaro, reflecting on life after loss and the importance of living fully.
Gwyneth sits down with Tig Notaro—comedian, writer, actor, and producer—to talk about her Oscar-nominated documentary Come See Me in the Good Light, which follows poet Andrea Gibson through the final chapter of their life. They talk about friendship, illness, and mortality—and how everything can shift when you’re faced with what really matters. Tig reflects on witnessing Andrea’s humor, openness, and perspective in the face of stage four cancer, as well as her own experience with illness and loss—and how comedy became a way through it. They also explore art as a way of making meaning, the strange coexistence of heartbreak and laughter, and why we shouldn’t wait for something devastating to start living more fully.
