March 3rd of last year, my twin sister passed a few weeks before our 30th birthday. It has been the absolute worst ever since. We both grew up reading David Sedaris since we were 14, ‘me talk pretty one day’ was what got us started. We had read all of his books. I pre-ordered the newest one, haven’t started it yet. The one cherished item of my sisters, the single most cherished item I have of hers, is from when she went to one of his book signings. he did an amazing signing with a sticker incorporated very cleverly, and really sweet personalized autograph/note. I keep it on my nightstand, at the moment next to a couple others of his.
I'm really sorry for your unimaginable loss. Thanks for sharing, take care of yourself. I'm sure your sister would want only the best for you. Sending a hug through a fiber-cable.
I've never offered condolence to a stranger or on line, but you spoke so sweetly from the heart I just had to write. I began loving David's commentaries ages ago. It took a while for me to connect him with Amy, but when I did -- OMG can you imagine what that house was like growing up? 😄 Hugs and warmest thoughts to you, Honey Bear.
I want David to write a chapter about the time I was on a plane and had headphones in, and I was snort laughing so hard the person next to me called the flight attendant to see if I was okay. He’s brilliant.
@@dirtylemon3379 I think I made a spectacle of myself when I read Big Boy on the BART train during rush hour. I'd never heard of Sedaris and the book was a Christmas gift...
I had a colleague who had once picked up David from the airport as part of his job and he pronounced it "sih-daww-ris" and when I told him it's "sih-day-ris" he was like "no, you're wrong. I know the right way. A lot of people get to wrong." THIS VIDEO IS SO VINDICATING!!
There are not words to describe how much JOY I feel from reading or listening to David Sedaris. His perspective and sense of humor has made my life much more enjoyable and made me laugh a great deal. David, I have seen you up close at book signings over the years, and whatever you are doing is great because you look healthy and happy. ❤️
As I wrote above, the elder Mr. Sedaris, proves my theory that in dementia the unused part of the brain kicks in. My father, who could be a tyrant, and who was an alcoholic, became a sweet, gentle man in his years of Alzheimer's. He forgot he was an alcoholic and he made a face when mom gave him some wine. On the other hand, his roommate, a beloved Lutheran pastor (this was MN) began to swear, he grabbed the nurses' privates, and he yelled all day long. Someone please fund me to do the research!
Actually, just don't watch the news period. Americans in general are always so stressed and can have shitty mentalities bc of whatever political beliefs they have. Politics are bad for your soul.
@@porfiriato84 Actually a balance is healthier. Don’t just be blissfully ignorant of what is happening around you, but don’t wallow in it all day either. Moderation in all things. It’s the extremists and absolutists that are dangerous.
@@BigLar56321 I think you have the best take. You can't just not be exposed to news period but you can't wallow in it either. News in general is pretty much bad news. Awful news. But it is information and factual information is beneficial. It helps you understand what is going on. What has happened. Those Fox News viewers aren't even watching the January 6th hearings at all because they don't want to know about all the crimes committed by Trump and his helpers. All the things they did that were illegal. They are deliberately keeping themselves ignorant and not even blissfully so. They want to believe Trump made everything better. They want to believe that he can save America. But they are adults not kids and when adults create a fantasy world to escape reality all they do is give acceptance to those who do great harm.
@@wpl8275 Well put. In my view, those who still support Trump and his big lie at this point are either ignorant or willfully ignorant. The former can at least theoretically have their eyes opened and views changed by being educated with the truth. The latter are irredeemable and should be marginalized until they disappear in the ordinary course of things. If they become a majority or even a ruling minority we are all placed at great risk of losing our republic.
I know David won’t read this- but for others out there- I had a massive chip in one of my front teeth for 9 years. Last year I had it fixed. It only cost about $300… but it changed my life. I’m a 50 yr old mother who used to be complimented on her smile. That ended with the accident. Since having my tooth fixed I am so much more confident, I feel beautiful again and have since got an amazing new job which paid for the dentist in a couple of days. Get your teeth fixed people!
What David said really resonated with me. I lost all my top teeth just before covid...it was devastating. I hate wearing a plate. It makes me gag and food is not the same. I loved wearing a mask! TBH I'd rather be bald...wigs are so realistic nowadays. Look after your teeth, people.
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you. To the merciful hearts, may God protect you. I am a Palestinian mother from the Gaza Strip, a widow, and a mother of children who have no helper. Praise be to God. In any case, I ask the doers of good to help my children in dire necessity. Doing good. May God protect you and take care of you. From everywhere, unfortunately, inside the picture is my phone and access to my children. Have mercy on those on earth, have mercy on you from those in heaven. I wish from my Lord, a benefactor, who will have mercy on a needy family.
David Sedaris may be my all time favorite celebrity. I felt the same way about my teeth and wearing masks! I wish I could afford braces. I'll live vicariously through David Sedaris' money smile!
@@gmun2248 I've read his books I've never listened to audio I'll have to try that. When I was still working I used to listen to a lot of books on tape during my commute but now that I'm retired not so much.
I read and re-read everything he writes and listen to him as well--and clearly hear his voice whenever I read him to the point where I find myself writing letters in HIS voice!
I have to say I related to so many of David’s stories of his family. And lmfao. But he also helped me to deal with my schizophrenic brother who I just sadly couldn’t “save” any longer. David has a story where his (mentally ill and alcoholic drug addicted sister, just like my brother ) came to his show at the back stage door and he just had to turn away close the door and let her go. And as devastating as that is it helped me to b able to do the same. Thank you 🙏 David. And thank u for ALL the deep down hysterical laugh til u cry moments.
Tiffany was not a drug addict. She was not a mentally ill. She was a baker and an artist. She was a beautiful soul and no one in her family can ever hold a candle to her light that burned out too soon.
As a schizophrenic person who’s relatively young, and also as a sibling, I’d say give him another chance. For us, things that seem so important in the moment are completely forgotten the next year or week or even day, and arguments don’t hold real substance because nothing holds real substance, it’s all someone else’s narrative. Break the ice slowly, especially if you haven’t spoken in a few years. If he’s on social media, maybe like one of his posts, say something positive about it. Be delicate but never patronizing. You’re not talking to the person you fought with that family gathering. Existence is chimerical, ever-changing for people like us. We reinvent against our will. Approach the situation like you’re meeting him for the first time and see what you have in common. Start small and good things will happen.
Are you aware that Tiffany killed herself shortly after David awkwardly turned his back on her that day? He has to live with that guilt every day of his life.
I love David Sedaris' audiobooks so much I used to go for long drives just so I could listen to him in the car. Somehow much more enjoyable than sitting at home and listening.
I got to see him in Hastings, NE and chat with him while he signed books for me. Alas, when he asked what was a good place to eat in town, I had to tell him there was none. To this day I wonder where he ate that night.
Sedaris is great, his thinking is great, extremely funny when you watch (in your head) a story unfold while seeing (in your head) how he thinks about it during the situation.
I can and have re read his books over and over again and when dealing with hard times I can open one and always find something so interesting, clever and funny it makes everything alright in my world. What a gift he has and Amy as well. We are lucky to have people in this world like them.
Love him and everything he does… and side note, I wish more guys (even str8 ones) had the confidence to have fun with what they wear and dress with flair
@Not Meg Griffin there’s a way to have fun with your look that is more green. And everyone has to wear clothes; stop acting morally superior just because yours are dull and blah.
It’s classic reverse snobbery and usually a sign of a mediocre American cishet male who won’t wear anything that isn’t ill-fitting and earth-toned lest someone think he’s gay.
@Not Meg Griffin We need all types of satirists during these difficult times. I would check out David Sedaris. I saw him in person once and laugh so hard I cried. He is also has had great observations about Trump and undecided voters, religion etc. As they say: don't judge a book by its cover.
omg... thank you colbert! Back story.... I was horribly abused. My adoptive mother was always hounding me to smile on command and when i did, it looked dumb and the abuse would get worse while never being able allowed to show any expression at all when she was abusing me. I learned B*tch Face way to young for the worse reasons. I am been like your friend here, practicing how to smile so i dont look fake or force. or stupid. I am trying to break out of my ptsd issues. and i get so tired of hearing people say "smile" and i think i am... and all i do is look scared. i didnt work this hard in over coming so much to still look like a deer in the head lights. Thank you thank you for that tip
David Sedaris is my hero! Saw him when he came to Australia...from a distance. I was too shy to get my book signed. Usually I'm loud that's just what happens when your faced with someone you admire so much.
I frickin' adore David Sedaris. Can't wait to read the new father-centric book as I as well have a complicated relationship with my late father. Cheers!
I want David to write a chapter about the time I was on a plane and had headphones in, and I was snort laughing so hard the person next to me called the flight attendant to see if I was okay. He’s brilliant.
I wrote to David Sedaris after I read Theft by Finding. I took notes about the ideas I loved and googled so many things. Truly a great read. He wrote back! I opened my mailbox and there it was! Goosebumps! I put the postcard in a frame and it sits on my mantle.
Although he’s not as well known as the average celebrity in America, he still a national treasure! Watching this interview reminded me how much I miss watching fresh live Stephen Colbert show. I specially think about that right now while the orange clown is on trial, so much buffoonery and disrespect to the court system, this would’ve been so great to see late night comics working with this material. Cheers to David Sedaris, his success is well earned
"stupid people already have the answers" is horrifyingly accurate in America. 54% of us read BELOW a sixth grade level. 59% of Republicans think that higher education is bad for you...
I was a bit shocked to hear that David's father had died but wasn't it great to hear that he shed himself of 'news' and could be his sweet self before he headed off. I always loved the stories about him.
If I am a bit down about something, I'll just turn my mind to David's oevre, and nibble on a little snippet: "my home....well, ONE of my homes"......"how about BARBECUE potato chips?"...." in case the zombies come a'callin"... lots more, that literally make me laugh out loud. Your books are stacked next to my bed, David, and I know you are an atheist but I hope you just hear the love when I say I thank God for you.
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you. To the merciful hearts, may God protect you. I am a Palestinian mother from the Gaza Strip, a widow, and a mother of children who have no helper. Praise be to God. In any case, I ask the doers of good to help my children in dire necessity. Doing good. May God protect you and take care of you.

so true about fox viewers, my parents are the same way, it's impossible to have a normal conversation with them, every topic gets twisted into a bigoted or racist fox segment.
It was a joy to watch them talk about stuff. Speaking of stuff, how lucky was he? My covid literally put me in a hospital for 2 months lol. Maybe I'm the unlucky one haha. P.s. What a crazy & cool outfit he has btw
Sedaris is smart, funny, compassionate, incisive, honest, brave What lessons could us bone-headed straight dudes that seem to run everything learn from him? Maybe we’d be better off.
He's so right about the covid! My brother got it 3 weeks ago, 5 days before his wedding to his boyfriend. Then his boyfriend got it like the day before the wedding and they had to push it back. But now they're married and all is well and they are still getting over their covid!
So funny. Funny weird and ironic too, my neighbor who has hated me since the 1990s because I always refused him sexual favors has now got dementia and can't remember to hate me or sexually harass me anymore. Its delightful I helped him by taking his photography hobby equipment to Good will he can't use it anymore. But his over all personality is much more pleasant now at least for a while.
David Sedaris, Did you have to be so mean to Tiffany? She was a beautiful human being and I will never forget her or your little story “close the door please “ She deserved to be loved.
OMG it wasn't until this show that I made the connection between David and amy! I've been a fan of both of them but had no idea that they were connected, because I mispronounce his name because I've only ever seen it, and I'm sure they must say it when they introduce him on the TH-cam that I watch of him. How funny. Actually not watch listen because they're not visual they are the very podcast that he was speaking of they're quite funny.
I remember fondly David describing his father hitting the brakes driving his car causing David to smash his face into the windshield. It’s helped me have an appreciation for all aspects of being a person with an unique life.

I have absolutely fallen off my couch in a fit of laughter reading David’s books.
Me too. I used to read them at work in my office during lunch and people must have thought I was disturbed. Just uncontrollable laughing.
So true!!! Me too!

Swallowed a bomb and then froze a nanosecond.. I'm dying here. Your sis is a comic genius
The entire generation of Sedaris is just unbelievably funny!
Lmao. Me too!!!
Amy and David are both TREASURE! 💕
It’s him he makes the stuff up. Using his sister is just a form of modest to pass of his own jokes since he’s pretty shy and reserved.
@@bridgelaurie9490 read his books about growing up, his sisters are all hilarious!
I have always enjoyed listening to David read his own audiobooks. Tremendously entertaining!
Was just thinking about that.. going to get the audio book because he's just such a good narrator. Such a personality.
how do you read an audiobook ?
@@Javier.M. narrate would have been the correct word. My apologies.
And the parts where Amy came on to do an impression of Rooster are just too much, can’t listen in public or you’ll look like a raving laughing maniac
@@Javier.M. many, including me describe it as 'reading' an audio book, even if we're listening and not actually reading.

I really like reading David Sedaris' work and I absolutely love hearing him reading his own work. He's a marvelously talented person!
OMG, my dad died last year of alzheimer's and he also became very sweet and we could turn off Fox! Holy smokes, I can totally relate to this.
It is such an indication of the poison that Fox churns out every day.

300? In NYC that procedure would be 3K.

Such a brilliant and hilarious genius! No one makes me laugh louder when I am reading his books! His Sister Amy is hilarious as well. Love him!

Mr Sedaris reminds me of the late, great, Wally Cox. Interesting man.

Holy crap, that "say money" tip is gold. Gonna use the for the rest of my life.
His NPR Christmas classic about the elf job is bust-a-gut all-over funny.

I loved this interview. Stephen lets him shine. Seth Meyers rushed him last week but I think he was just excited to talk to him
My dad was also difficult, but then after he got dementia, he was perpetually in a happy, childlike state.
David Sedaris - national treasure
Love this bloke on the wireless here in the UK.
Ps. "Me talk pretty one day" is breathstoppingly hilarious.
That was awesome!!!!
Happy-Go-Lucky is very funny. He reads the audiobook, and tells jokes in one chapter. Perfect timing.
Welcome to Charleston SC #davidsedaris 🌴 See you at the Gaillard Center tonight!
Now I have to read these books….great conversation
I was a bit shocked to hear that David's father had died but wasn't it great to hear that he shed himself of 'news' and could be his sweet self before he headed off. I always loved the stories about him.
If I am a bit down about something, I'll just turn my mind to David's oevre, and nibble on a little snippet: "my home....well, ONE of my homes"......"how about BARBECUE potato chips?"...." in case the zombies come a'callin"... lots more, that literally make me laugh out loud. Your books are stacked next to my bed, David, and I know you are an atheist but I hope you just hear the love when I say I thank God for you.
I am without news, better than I was with news.
May the peace and mercy of God be upon you. To the merciful hearts, may God protect you. I am a Palestinian mother from the Gaza Strip, a widow, and a mother of children who have no helper. Praise be to God. In any case, I ask the doers of good to help my children in dire necessity. Doing good. May God protect you and take care of you. From everywhere, unfortunately, inside the picture is my phone and access to my children. Have mercy on those on earth, have mercy on you from those in heaven. I wish from my Lord, a benefactor, who will have mercy on a needy family.
First time I’ve seen david in action. Had no idea he ever smiled.

I would love to go to lunch with you and Amy. Big big appreciation for all the laughter
so true about fox viewers, my parents are the same way, it's impossible to have a normal conversation with them, every topic gets twisted into a bigoted or racist fox segment.
I was just thinking how much I'd like David Sedaris to have a new book out 🙂
that should have been a much longer interview
Now we know the mark of a good relationship. You get sick, avoid contact with everyone BUT your partner, and make them sick a few days later. 🤣
This interview makes me want to go watch every ep of Strangers w Candy. Even though it’s just Noblitt w Jerry Blank’s brother. Bye folks😘
I love David’s fab bustle jacket! 😍
It was a joy to watch them talk about stuff. Speaking of stuff, how lucky was he? My covid literally put me in a hospital for 2 months lol. Maybe I'm the unlucky one haha.
P.s. What a crazy & cool outfit he has btw
FWIW, it's the photographer's job to capture the natural smile, the subject should never have to be made to think about that.
Sedaris is smart, funny, compassionate, incisive, honest, brave
What lessons could us bone-headed straight dudes that seem to run everything learn from him? Maybe we’d be better off.
He's so right about the covid! My brother got it 3 weeks ago, 5 days before his wedding to his boyfriend. Then his boyfriend got it like the day before the wedding and they had to push it back. But now they're married and all is well and they are still getting over their covid!
Go right home with Covid. Share the joy!

His new book is amazing, if more somber than most of his other work. I highly recommend it to everyone.
One of my writing idols. ✍️
So funny. Funny weird and ironic too, my neighbor who has hated me since the 1990s because I always refused him sexual favors has now got dementia and can't remember to hate me or sexually harass me anymore. Its delightful I helped him by taking his photography hobby equipment to Good will he can't use it anymore. But his over all personality is much more pleasant now at least for a while.
David Sedaris, Did you have to be so mean to Tiffany? She was a beautiful human being and I will never forget her or your little story “close the door please “ She deserved to be loved.
Thank you
awww. I get it. Love
The teeth shit
It say “Cake!”
OMG it wasn't until this show that I made the connection between David and amy! I've been a fan of both of them but had no idea that they were connected, because I mispronounce his name because I've only ever seen it, and I'm sure they must say it when they introduce him on the TH-cam that I watch of him. How funny. Actually not watch listen because they're not visual they are the very podcast that he was speaking of they're quite funny.
I remember fondly David describing his father hitting the brakes driving his car causing David to smash his face into the windshield. It’s helped me have an appreciation for all aspects of being a person with an unique life.
That smile is Chandler Bing's smile
Welp, time to go re-read MTPOD again 🙃
No, don't say "cheese" or "money"-- an actress once told me to say "whiskey!"
I want to hear David and Mo Rocca have a conversation.
