Wrong Turns with Jameela Jamil

Tig Notaro and Caitlin Reilly

Comedians Tig Notaro (One Mississippi, The Morning Show, Come See Me in the Good Light) and Caitlin Reilly (Hacks, Loot, I Love LA) join Jameela for a wide open, no such thing as TMI conversation.


Tig's big wrong turn drags her back to a decades old showdown for Sundance Film Festival supremacy against a friend turned rival. Caitlin's starts on an all girls Catholic high school stage (fellow alum: Meghan Markle) and ends at a pool party where a white towel gave away way more than she meant to share.


Tig is on tour now (tignotaro.com) and hosts the podcast Handsome with Fortune Feimster and Mae Martin, streaming a day early on Hulu. Catch Caitlin in season five of Hacks.

Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.
