I had not heard of Tig Notaro until Louis CK started talking about her cancer performance. Now it appears the two are seriously at odds. Last time Louis was on "Saturday Night Live" he did a pretaped bit about a guy who hires a clown just for himself. It was obviously taken from a film Notaro did on the same topic. Now, Notaro is complaining that Louis CK gets an executive producer credit on her Amazon special when he has done nothing and she's also calling on him to come clean on allegations he masturbated in front of an act of two female comedians. I can't figure out if it is supposed to be Garfunkle and Oates or maybe the two who do "Broad City."
