More Maria Bamford! This was like a speed date. We want actual conversation! She's hilarious and deserves more airtime
I think I'm in love 😍
I've been a fan of Maria for as long as I can remember!
Listen to her interview on Conan’s podcast. It’s really good. Conan gives her time to talk and she expands on a few of the things she mentioned her.
@@lynnstlaurent6789 I have listened to it 3 times. I have seen her specials and plan to get her book when It's available in my country. I just want more Maria Bamford

I wish they'd had longer. Maria Bamford is truly hilarious and profound!!!
Maria has helped veterans trying to break into comedy, and also help them manage PTSD. She's an awesome person, and she's even a pretty great comedian.
She's brilliant in her honesty and I can identify in many ways, this may be one of the most sincere interviews I have ever seen. It's both terrible and amazing to me how much just being honest is so unique. There is no such thing as normal. It's a collective illusion.
Normal is only a setting on the clothes dryer.
She’s been so funny for so long. I love her. And appreciate her candor. Humor often comes from dark spaces.
Dark spaces are the best spaces for lots of stuff.
She seems like a sweet, quirky young lady with powerful jokes 🤷🏾♂️
@@johnsmithe4656 Especially dark stuff that takes up space.
I have always loved maria I also appreciate how vulnerable she is. It's hard talking about this stuff but it's nice to not be alone. Her book is great too!
Maria IS the best! Her work is so clever, compassionate, and totally unique. She’s truely one of a kind.
I’m about to be in my mid 30s and I first fell in love with Maria Bamford in middle school when she would have specials on Comedy Central. A lot of my humor was built on hers. I love how open she’s been with her mental health struggles over the years as I suffer with mental health issues too and it really helped me not feel alone. Thank you Maria for your honesty and humor as it has taken the rough edge of life and softened it a bit. The forced birthers comment killed me 😂💀
If you’re struggling with mental health, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry all the weight by yourself. You are loved ❤
Stephen, I love the story of your mom. She sounds like the best mom ever.
Looks like Stephen’s mom got to you.
I remember seeing her Comedy Central Presents special over 20 years ago when I was in middle school. I had never seen anyone like her before! So weirdly hilarious and such a talented voice. I'm so glad to see her still going strong. She's truly a weirdo, and I love that. ❤
Same. If you got to stay home from school, there would be Comedy Central Presents on in the morning/afternoon. That's where I first saw a lot of comedians.
Same! Been following ever since.
Same! I still remember jokes from that special. Glad to know I’m not the only one.
Same here dude, that was peak comedy central right there. What a great special. We love you, Maria!!
First time I saw her, too, it was unforgettable!
Always a delightful presence. Charming and funny as only she can be… Maria you are amazing.
Maria is hilarious and truly insightful
The mom story is priceless metahumor. And I don't think his writers fed it to him.👏
Maria is always so engaging and down-to-earth, it's refreshing. And of course she's hilarious!
God i love her so much and I am so glad you guys had her on to promote her book! Her book is amazing, so candid and so real, definitely a great read for anyone who likes her material and struggles with mental illness. I love that at one point during the interview, Stephen was so relaxed to rest his elbow on his desk and his face in the hand to talk to her! They are the best, pleaes have her on more often!!
Maria is literally the best comedian in the world. Untouchable. She's a comics' comic. Thank you Stephen for sharing her with the Dum Dums. She is to your show what Amy Sedaris was to Letterman. Let's keep it that way, or at least get them on at the same time! lol :)
I've never been a fan of gimmick comics. The little girl affectation she's *still* doing with her voice is way past annoying
@@missingbitz9831 that’s literally her voice. It’s always been her voice. But why bother defending. You like what you like
@@triffus Sure. And Gilbert Gottfried's voice wasn't embellished either I suppose.
@@4seeableTV Her sister sounds exactly like her and isn't a comic.
@@missingbitz9831 Lots of comics do impressions and characters, it's not a gimmick it's just a very common style of comedy, even those who don't usually have a "stage" persona and a voice that is somewhat different because comedy is performing and the point is to find a unique perspective thats entertaining. To me her impressions and peppy zany vibe perfectly contrasts the often heavy themes in her acts. You don't need to like it but I think the reason you don't is more to due with misogyny than being an actual discerning comedy fan. Bye now.
Used to listen to Maria Bamford on my way to night school. Loved every minute of all her routines.
One the best standup comedians ever. Unwanted Thoughts Syndrome is such a great comedy album.
QUEEN. she's one of the best to ever do "it" - "lets not DEFINE IT."
I really, really enjoyed this piece. I felt like Stephen was really funny, and Maria was just fascinating to me. I guess I felt like their chemistry together was charming, and somehow something special. And I was intrigued and relieved that Maria was talking about mental health and mental distress in public because I think that's something that needs to be talked about more. I feel like the secrecy and shame around mental illness just makes things worse. And Maria's impersonation of her mother seemed so hilarious but real. I really liked this.
He was being honest. She was SPECTACULAR. Then there was a lull because hello, she had a huge breakdown and the meds made her stumble her words!! A HUGE PART OF COMEDY is carefully placed pauses and inflection..timing! she is doing so much better and she IS amazing! Her bits are genius. I’d love to have dinner with these two. Smart, kind, fun people.
Just. Love. Her.
'....or else'
❤ Maria! Great to see her relaxed-ish, and seemingly having a good day! 👍
Maria Bamford is a jewel, and we want more of her! Also, we LOVE your stories and love your mom for supporting you ❤️
Lucky for me, I wouldn't need that hotline until off peak hours, because that's the only time I can afford to bathe with the toaster.
Pro tip: Clean off the crumb tray first. You don't want people to think you died untidy.
Ha ha ha ha!!
1)Never choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
2)All problems are temporary.

B)It's all small stuff.

Don't sweaty the petty things.
Or vise versa.
@jerrylong381 that's quite good
We need a world that can aid and appreciate all the precious people who need help.
Thank you. Count me in 💛
Maria is a brilliant badass. That is all.
Maria is delightful hilarious. I am always touched and amused by her stories.
Can we have a celebrity Thanksgiving Dinner (with these two) that plays all morning while I’m prepping and running about? I love Macy’s but I would love this more!
MB is pure joy and genius.
I came back to the realization Maria is a true comedy OG, and searched her up on YT to find she is still doing fine and well. A real survisor and bringing mental health to the fore front through comedy. She is needed and absolutely matters. I wish nothing but the best for her.
I wish netflix would give Maria another series, absolutely loved it.Now I know why some of my family listin to me, being the youngest of 9 ,, thanks mum .
I'm fairly certain (from reading her book) that she doesn't want another series!

@@lmpnchi9416 ack ffs
Yeah she talked about how filming a series has pretty grueling schedules and you have so many people on the payroll that depend on you to push yourself. It's hard work even if you don't have several debilitating mental ilnesses and having to deal with the nasty side-effects of the meds like her tremors and being deadly tired. But I agree I always love to see her!
@@RioRav it's a shame Rio bless her, and you for the info, have a great weekend.
I LOVE MARIA BAMFORD!! She hooked me about 8 year ago and I don't even remember how but I'm so glad.
Maria is my hero. She is an amazing human, a truly strong and kind person.
So glad she's promoting a book so we get to see all her appearances! Love love love her.
Oh...I've only seen her material on CZcams, but she is insanely, crazy funny. I'll have to look into her book.
I recommend it, specially on audible its the best because she read it. Almost through now and sad it's gonna be finished!!
Shes on her own level. Pure brilliancy, ❤ her
I read one of her books and she talks about being on the cover with other influential women and on a lark she asked the make-up artist to give her a black eye and then she forgot about and went to a jewelery store and forgot about the make-up, and she went in and the woman behind the counter said 'Are you ok?' and she said, 'Can you believe it? I'm in love...'
That made me laugh. Thank you 😊
I think that was Amy Sedaris
It was! @@margueritejacobs6404
I think you're right.@@margueritejacobs6404
Every time I see her I'm thankful she's still with us. Lord knows we could have lived in a very different timeline.
❤❤❤I'm in Maria's Cult, funniest person in the world !
Thank you Maria and Stephen
Maria Bamford -- THE BEST OF THE BEST!!!
I love, love, love Maria Bamford!!!
I have loved her comedy for decades. I just appreciate her insights, wit, and delivery. I was aware that she had mental health struggles, and I'm nearly finished with her book now. I'm listening to the audiobook, which she reads, and it is touching and wonderful to hear her tell her story. I continue to wish her good mental and physical health.
María Bamford is so funny. She reminds me of a character that could be on Strangers With Candy.
The book is a must read and the audiobook is in my top 3 of all time! The way she commented on suicidal ideation and her outlook on suicide is so perfect and truly something that should be heard. I feel like an ad but I mean she’s worth and truly lady dynamite❤ also go mention as someone who spent years of my youth being blamed by my own mental health professionals for my severe anxiety that turned into agoraphobia because of negligence have her be open honest and frank about it and saying the memes are garbage makes me feel seen because I did tell quite a few professionals and people and got nothing for too long
Maria is the best!!! Love seeing her😍 Looking forward to reading her book!!!
What a beautiful and honest interview. Bamfo, you’re fantastic! I can’t wait to see the new special.
The first time I saw her she did the “Sure I join your cult” bit. All I could think was, “She’s different.” Then I later saw her do an entire set in either dyed brown short hair or a wig in the voice she used for the cultist. There’s no one like her.
This audience didn't appreciate her enough. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at one of his guests. I'll join your cult, Maria!!
So much love Maria, you will always be the GOAT
OMG I love her so ********** much! I cannot! She is brilliant!
The mom story brought a couple tears to my eyes.
Maria is my favorite. And, she is so open and honest about her struggles.. I've seen most of her work and a few of them were during rough patches, but, by God,, she pulled through allowing us to see that it's okay to be vulnerable in public. She's a tender soul. Love you, Maria! XXOO
They had great stories and charisma!😆💯
"...53 years later, what's the plan? I would like to be placed in a LOVING HOME!!"
Priceless.
She is just so awesome. I adore her and she makes me laugh so damn hard!!!
Legitimately one of the funniest people on the planet. Maria is always such a joy to hear from.
What a funny gal. Stay strong Maria!
She is a such a unique talent. One of a kind. Her book is great
I love hearing about stories when Stephen is growing up. It explains so much.
I absolutely love her!!
I love her laugh at the end when Stephen says she's the funniest person in the world
Tom Cruise is going to show up under Maria's bed in the next week & whisper L. Ron Hubbard's writing to her while she sleeps
I love love love loooooove Maria!!! I've been taking long walks for the past few days listening to her book and it's so good!! I was just thinking that I'll be sad when I'm finished so I am BEYOND elated to hear she has a new special coming out soon! Can't wait to see it!!
Maria Bamford was one of the first female comics I found .. in the 80s!! She’s one of the reasons that comedy is huge in my life.
Maria is my absolute favorite!
She always sounds like one of my own family members from Minnesota. I hear her and I hear some cousin back home that I haven't spoken to in ages.
OK, this convinced me. I’m gonna get the Audible version of her book.
Absolutely love Maria Bamford and I would totally join HER cult.
He’s got guts. It’s nice to see someone stick on their own values
who?
Maria is amazing! Have her back more often!
She is one of my favorite comedians!
my favorite, and i'm always excited to see her back on the show!! (or making an appearance in anything anywhere)
She is terrific. The Pterodactyl Song leaves me in stitches every time.
I just looked that up. That shit was hilarious. 😅 thnx
Maria is the salt of the earth! We love having her here at The Comedy Attic in Bloomington, IN.
She's just an incredible woman ❤❤❤
Delightful. Thank you both.
Oh god, I love her laugh
Man, the band gets props from me for playing a bit of "Royal Garden Blues" for her entrance!
I can argue anything, but I can't even begin to argue with Bamfoo being the funniest person in the world. It's just obvious from anyone not suffering a severe rectal-cranial inversion.
🤘🧙♂🤘
Agreed. Maria Bamford. Funniest person in the world.
I just read her book and it’s really great. My friend gave it to me and now I’m going to give it to another friend! 💞
Maria is very funny!
I've loved Maria Bamford since I was a kid. I didn't know I had mental illness then but a part of me must have always known there was a connection there ❤
Somehow even with a brilliant guest like Ms. Bamford, Stephen Colbert somehow makes it about him.
Stephen's mom story was heartbreaking.🥲
She was such a gem. I’ve never related to Stephen more 😅
When Stephen talks about his Mom, so much love❤
She is a national treasure ❤
"What are you afraid of?" 😂😂
Maria is a treasure.
Funniest comedian in America hands down! She is a national treasure worth preserving at all costs!
Love Her!
Maria has always been gold and golden to me ❤
God I adore her. Her book is fantastic.
Maria is a hero and an inspiration. She is a comedy role model too. She’s the perfect antidote to a culture that only values people for what the produce and accomplish, yet it’s never enough. I listen to Maria & feel like, hey I’m doing ok.
"Did you ever look around your life and think: 'Uh oh, this isn't temporary, this might be who I am." -Maria Bamford.🤣
Love this sooo much!!! Watched several times and i never do that!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was in a cult. Really. I'll never forget the one guy who was getting out of it and said to me he thought it was good for people without families.
Are you familiar with the work of Dr. Steve Hassan and the B.I.T.E. Model?
He is renowned for adding value to those who have experienced life as you have.
I was in a cult too, then I became an atheist.
No. But I have a reading disability and too much to do before I have to move into my car by Dec 1 anyhow.@@MISNM0

Maria is such a gift. I still quote her line from this is not happening, Lady, I am in a hospital gown and green gripper socks, you tell whomever you want, because all is lost
You Rock!
God this interview FLEW by!!! I would do anything for this woman right here
