Can we get this chair out of here?

- It's itchy.

- Oh, wait.

Oh, this is a bit that's happening.

(audience laughing)

(audience laughing)

- [Amazon Echo Voice] Please welcome Tig Notaro.

- Hi, welcome to Under a Rock with Tig Notaro.

I'm Tig Notaro.

I'm a comedian, and I don't follow a lot of pop culture.

I don't watch a lot of movies or TV shows

so I have a really hard time recognizing famous people.

And on this show, I interview famous people

to try and figure out who they are.

Please welcome this person.

- Hello.

- [Tig] Hi. - Hi.

Nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

I'm Tig. - Hi, Tig.

- Thanks for being here.

- Thanks for having me.

- Oh, you have an accent.

- I do.

- Yeah, is it real? - Or do I?

It's real.

- Do I have an accent to you?

- Just a touch.

- What would you say?

- Your accent? - Yeah.

- What specifically? - Yeah.

Can you pinpoint my hometown?

- No. - [Tig] No?

- No, where is it?

- I'm originally from Mississippi,

but this is not about me.

This is about you.

(audience laughing)

Why on earth did you do this show?

- 'Cause I think you're a mad genius.

- I guess that's what I wanted to hear.

- There you go. (audience laughing)

- These are the fun facts.

- [Guest] They are really fun.

- Previous seasons and episodes,

they were a blast.

(Guest and Audience laughing)

So here we go. - [Guest] Yes.

- You don't like interviews.

- I hate them.

- So this means so much to me.

- This is major.

- This is major. - [Guest] Yeah.

- All right, so you are nervous right now.

- Yes.

- And we're just people - Exactly.

- [Tig] And we have skeletons and stuff.

- And we poop.

- Speak for yourself.

- I mean, yes, I don't.

As a famous person, I don't.

- You couldn't possibly. - No.

- [Tig] You would never work again in this town.

- No.

- If people found out that was going on,

- That you pooped.

- No, that you did.

- That one pooped.

- That this one. - This, yes.

- [Tig] This particular one pooped.

- Yes, I'm working up to it.

- You're working up to a poop?

- Yeah, not now. - Not on this show.

- That would be bad.

That's just my nerves.

- This is really going terribly.

- Okay.

Would you like a clue?

- Okay, great.

- My most famous character can really relate

to these three couples.

- Your most famous character.

You're an actor. - Yes. (bell dings)

- Okay, and you're female I'm assuming.

I don't know how you identify. - [Guest] Yes.

- [Tig] You identify as female?

- Yes.

- Here's what will surprise you.

I do too.

(audience laughing)

- Yeah, do you know any of these people?

- I know Star Wars.

- And you know what this is?

- Well, oh, I know, I know Arrested Development.

This means zero to me.

- Okay, good, excellent.

Well done, everyone.

That went really well.

- Oh, siblings!

- Yes.

- Yeah, Luke and Leia are siblings.

- [Guest] Yes.

- All right, but siblings.

Are you on a show called Siblings?

- Yes! (audience laughing)

- Are you? - No, I'm not.

- Oh.

- I don't think there is one, but I like the notion.

- Okay, I'm gonna ask you a question.

Is there something people yell at you

when you walk down the street?

- Oh, God, yes.

- Now, did you say, "Oh, God" because...

- Because it's the bane of my life.

- Oh, okay.

- They shout it in the street, at airports,

when I'm with my children,

and the word is shame.

- Shame?

- Yeah, it's a good one as a mother, isn't it?

(audience laughing)

When you're dropping your kids off.

- Okay, so you showed me siblings.

- Yes, what particular thing joins the siblings?

Like things happened between Luke and Leia.

- Romance? - Yes.

- Yes. - Sibling romance.

Is it wrong?

- Shame on that. - Shame.

- Shame on sibling romance.

(blows raspberry)

Are you getting nervous?

- I'm just, do you know what?

- This show is...

- You know what?

This chair.

- You want us to move the chair?

Can we get this chair out of here?

- It's just itchy, and I'm.

- You're itching.

- Yeah, do you have a different chair?

- This is itching.

Oh, wait.

Oh, this is a bit that's happening.

(audience laughing)

- I bring this.

Yes, oh, that's much better, Tig!

(audience and Tig laughing)

Much better.

- Can I just tell you I got the weirdest

insight in to you that I am so relieved is wrong?

I thought you were just really,

here's what I thought was happening.

- Okay.

- I thought you were having,

I thought you were spiraling.

I thought you were like trying to contain

- My panic. - A panic attack.

And then I, jokingly, was like,

"We've gotta get this chair out of here."

And then, the insight about you is

how you were just, "Yeah, get me a new chair

"in the middle of the show."

But it's clearly supposed to indicate something to me.

- Yeah, it's not working, is it?

It's not a tiny prop.

- It's not a tiny prop.

- [Woman] What kind of chair is she sitting in?

- A throne?

- Yes.

- You are from Game of Thrones?

- Yes. (audience clapping)

The show you watch all the time.

- Alexa, who is in Game of Thrones?

- [Alexa] The cast of Game of Thrones includes

Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke,

and Kit Harington.

- Is that you?

- All of them.

- What was in your goblet?

- No, you know sadly we drank

- This better be sad.

- Grape juice which was a laxative.

It turns out.

Just so you all know, every time we were all like,

I was like, "We done?

"Okay, here we go?"

- I'm really, I want to know what your name is.

- Dun, dun, dun.

- Reveal.

It looks like it was run over by a car.

- That's fancy fake marble.

- Alexa, drum roll please.

- [Alexa] Okay. (drum roll)

- "She played Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones

"for eight seasons, a role for which you received

"five Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe nomination."

I didn't get one of those.

That's incredible.

"Ranker.com voted Cersei the number one

"best TV villain of all time.

"The Night King only ranked 44th."

- What?

(audience laughing)

- I don't know who that is.

- I know, I love that.

I just had a dream of him walking in,

and you being like,

- Who is this?

- Yes.

- "She has starred in hit movies including 300,

"The Purge, and most recently Fighting with My Family,

"and portrayed Sarah Connor on the TV series

"Sarah Connor Chronicles."

- Yes, what a great title.

(audience laughing)

- Turns out my guest today was

Lena

- I love this.

- It's giving me the way to pronounce.

- Len-AH. - Len-AH Headey.

Head's up, I could handle Lena Headey.

(audience clapping)

But it's just Lena.

It's nothing weird. - Not Lee-nah.

It makes me sound like an emperor.

- Well, look at yourself.
