Tig Notaro talks about a potential Louis CK comeback and his defenders saying he isn't as bad as Harvey Weinstein

The New York Times

Six months after Louis CK's downfall, Notaro reflects on his name being on her Amazon show One Mississippi: "One of the most powerful people in comedy was executive producer on the show, and the networks and studios were excited to have him," she says. "I meanwhile had found out he’s not who I thought he was, and so I wanted that separation." Regarding talk of a potential comeback of Louis CK and other #MeToo sexual harassers, Notaro says: "You know what? If any of these people come back, I would say, 'I can’t wait to see who is actually going to support them.' That is going to be the glaring horror. Who is going to be, like, 'This is a pressing issue, and we need to get them back?'" Adding that people are blinded by fame and power, she adds: "Every time I turn around I’m surprised. You think somebody is the most progressive, powerful person and then they’re like: 'Well, this guy didn’t really do much. It’s not Harvey Weinstein.' Yes, but put yourself in the mind-set of somebody walking around masturbating in front of people. Who is that?"
