You know her from Lady Dynamite, Arrested Development and her stand up specials.

The imperative

Please welcome back to the late show, Maria Bamford.

You haven't been on the show since 2023, so it's possible I'm lying now.

Well, I hope, like everybody here, I've been protesting against the state of and.

And I was trying to think of what the sisypuede of white women would be.

For me, You're now the subject of a documentary.

I want to get into what that feels like in just a moment.

It's called Paralyzed by the Maria Bamford Story.

It's directed by Judd Apatow and Neil Berkley.

I have the honor of being briefly featured saying how much I enjoy Maria Bamford and how much I love everything that you do.

How did they convince you to allow them to do this?

Because it's one thing like when you're dead and gone, but

if you're alive and they're doing a documentary about you, this is your life, is your material.

I had to say, hey, I'm going to need 500 bones if you're going to come and shoot this.

Because there are so many times in show business where they say, oh, my God, we love you.

No, I'm not gonna accept check from that.

I would never let anybody make a documentary about me or the show for any reason whatsoever.

I mean, if no one's ever offered me money.

Sure, a Bud Light and a basket of curly fries.

He said he wouldn't want to have one done of him.

In the documentary you talk about almost losing your home in the Altadena fire.

Well, we almost lost our house, but it was saved by our Trump.

And I was up there with the ashes and all that stuff.

And it's kind of a police state in certain areas of la.

And a giant SUV pulled up, two cops get out, guns fully drawn, say, excuse me, ma', am, what are you doing on that property?

And I said, oh, I'm just looking for my succulents.

Some of my succulents made it because there's an elephant here that's quite hardy.

Just had to make sure that you weren't one of the bad guys.

Documentary explores your upbringing, your family.

And we have a clip here with you and your father.

This is one of his inventions that he came up with.

It's for night terrors, which is a seat belt for your bed.

It turns out that 1% of people have night terrors.
