IT'S A HIT. >> Stephen: IT'S A HIT. >> WE ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING
WITH-- AND I DON'T-- I DON'T LIKE TO NAME DROP OR ANYTHING,
BUT WITH REESE WITHERSPOON. AND-- YEAH. >> Stephen: TALENTED YOUNG

>> Stephen: JUST HANGING WITH REESE IS PART OF YOUR LIFE. >> EXACTLY. I CAN'T CLAIM SHE'S ONE OF MY
CLOSEST FRIENDS BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE FRIENDLY. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
BUT DON'T MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT. >> Stephen: YUP. >> SO STEPHANIE, MY WIFE, AND I

>> Stephen: ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEETING IT OCCURRED TO YOU. >> WELL, AFTER THE MEET WHIG GOT
SOME MORE INFORMATION. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED. SO REESE SAID, YOU KNOW, I'M
5'1"." SHE SAID, "LAURA DERN IS 5'10". NICOLE KIDMAN IS 5'11". AND SHE LEANS 5'8". AND THEN I INTERJECTED, "OH, MY
GOSH. THAT'S SO INTERESTING BECAUSE
YEARS AGO, I DATED A WOMAN THAT WAS SIX FEET TALL, AND I THINK
SHE WAS KIND OF INSECURE ABOUT HER HEIGHT, SO SHE HUNCHED. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
NOW, YOUR RESPONSE IS VERY SIMILAR TO REESE'S RESPONSE. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
AND HER PRODUCING PARTNER AND MY WIFE. AND I WAS JUST SITTING THERE
GOING, "YEAH, SO..." AND I THOUGHT I WAS-- IT SEEMS LIKE I
SAID SOMETHING THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE CONVERSATION. <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
SO THEY WERE LIKE, "OH, YEAH, SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HEIGHT,
SURE." BUT IT WAS CONVERSATION ADJACE
ADJACENT. >> Stephen: SURE. >> AND THEN WE WRAPPED UP THE
MEETING, AND IT WAS LIKE, "OKAY, BYE-BYE." AND WE WALKED OUT, AND THEN
STEPHANIE SAID, "UHMWHAT... IN THE HELL WERE YOU TALKING
ABOUT IN THERE?" <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>
AND THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE IS AN
ACTRESS NAMED SHAILENE. AND SO WHAT I HEARD WAS THAT
NICOLE KIDMAN WAS 5'11", AND SHE LEANS 5'8". <i> ( LAUGHTER )</i>

FIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO FIGHT. EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS. WHAT IS "UNDER THE ROCK WITH TIG
NOTORO"? >> "UNDER A ROCK" IS-- IT WAS A
SHOW CREATED BECAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME RECOGNIZING FAMOUS
PEOPLE. AND SO --
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT PLUGGED INTO POPULAR CULTURE? >> I DON'T FOLLOW POP CULTURE. I FOLLOW MUSIC AND I FOLLOW
DOCUMENTARIES, BUT I REALLY KIND OF MISS EVERYTHING ELSE. AND WHY I MAYBE DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT SHAILENE. >> Stephen: SURE. >> BUT ANYWAY, I HAVE PEOPLE ON
MY TALK SHOW, AND IT'S ME INTERVIEWING THEM, TRYING TO

TIG, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. >> NICE TO SEE YOU. >> Stephen: "UNDER A ROCK WITH
TIG NOTARO," IS ON "FUNNY OR DIE." IT'S NOT A TV SHOW. TIG NOTARO, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK
