Yesterday I got a Twitter notification from someone at The Huffington Post asking me if I’d be interested in interviewing Tig Notaro. I immediately said yes.She contacted me because back in July at BlogHer, I tweeted this:

And from that, I had the opportunity to interview Tig Notaro! I mean, now when people ask me why bother with Twitter, I’ll have an answer!

I assumed the whole thing would be a Twitter chat, which would be ironic since she doesn’t use Twitter. Then I found out I’d be using a webcam, which I thought was odd for Twitter, but whatever. Then today I find out it’s a video chat. And that there’s only be one other person on the line.

I almost passed out with excitement.

So this afternoon I took an afternoon call in a huddle room at work (I came in early to make up the time!) and got to interview a comedian I love and who I’ll be seeing perform live in Cincinnati next month. Watch the complete interview with Tig Notaro.

I was able to interview Tig Notaro on Huffington Post Live.
