[@iconoclastic-fantastic]

I have to say, as an autistic person it is so nice and so beautiful to see another autistic person being welcomed with open arms for being their full authentic self. In many of our experiences, it's rare to be received so well and so respectfully from another person. It's especially amazing to see it happen on such a large stage. For the first time I feel represented and it warms my heart. I also really feel like more people would really vibe more with autistic people if they gave us a chance and got past their weird hang ups and misconceptions about us

[@anjilala]

"gave us a chance and got past their weird hang-ups and misconceptions about us" YES! Atypical ppl are actually so often so narrow minded in general. it would do them a world of good to open up to non-conforming perspectives. People do sometimes conform to the most ridiculous things too and are surprised when ASD people don't want to join them in behavior that, with some reflection could be seen to be cruel and/or unhealthy

[@gzz8551]

Still not funny. Which is the most important thing.

[@pickelsvonbrine]

@@anjilala I think that was a very board generalization. Though I also have a feeling that maybe this is a mistype. Instead of atypical maybe you meant neurotypical. I have ADHD and thus also neuro-atyptical. I do not have the same struggles day to day as someone with autism, but we can definitely relate on some levels but be understood on many more.

[@tanner1548]

[@lizziedoesthings1450]

It's so refreshing to hear her explain miscommunication without apologizing for it, I may be wrong in assuming this but I believe neuro-divergent people in general might feel that the way they are is something they should apologize for but this was more natural and nice

[@LateNightwithStudBuyers]

We don't need to apologize for who we are. I think just being straightforward with others and pointing out personal differences, owning the skills we are lacking is what can help others to learn how to better deal with us. I love Hannah; one of the smartest and most clever comediennes working today. Any haters should check out Douglas, she has some beautiful words for you ;)

[@TurquoiseInk]

When we feel like we have to apologize, it's because we have been brainwashed into apologize for who we are, how we think, how communicate, and basically for breathing. I think the world misses a lot by not encouraging Neurodivergency. We each bring different skills and perspectives that enrich the human experience.

[@wildflower1397]

I absolutely support those struggling with neurodiversity. However, I do believe we often say sorry or excuse me when we don't clearly understand what someone is saying. Apologies don't necessarily have to imply you are at fault, flawed, or anything else. Sometimes they are just a simple way of being polite. Nobody should have to apologize for who they are though. I love how she simply states "I am not a flexible thinker." 👍😂

To a certain degree you hide from the audience behind the punchline.. while fully exposed, alone on a stage, with all eyes scrutinizing your every move. Seems to me the whole point of was not to hide anything from the audience.

Brilliant isn't a shiny enough word for it.

​@@BeeWhistler Thank you for the term Allistic. I had been using "neurotypical" up to now, but they are not, they are even more diverse as a group than we are. So allistic seems appropriate. Wondering about the capital, though. I think --- people is a nice addition. You cannot get autistic dogs, so dogs are definitely included in the all of allistic (I know it stands for allos, meaning other, I looked it up, but I just read it as short for "all others" in my mind and I think most people will do). So "allistic people" narrows it down nicely, because you can have allistic animals, unlike autistic animals. I am a bit suspicious of this culture of counter-labeling. Cisgendered, priviliged, you know, that kind of thing. Do we need more words to say that we are all different? That everybody can be put in a little box eventually? It seems a bit divide and conquer. I think it´s from the bible: do unto others, that which you don´t like them doing to you. An eye for an eye, leaves everybody blind.

She was raped as a child, and does have little good to say of men who harass and assault and mistreat women and girls. Picasso was one. The #metoo movement has opened many eyes to the huge scope of the issue. Statistics say you know a few women who have been assaulted or harassed. Hannah speaks out hard because she suffered and is suffering because her experience was severe. I think it would be hard to forgive those who hurt her and those who told her to put up and be quiet, because men are entitled to treat woman however they please. Sorry if you’ve felt upset, because you’re not an abuser, and might even speak out against misogyny, but just because you exist...and good for you....nothing significant will be done until the scope and enormity of the issue is taken seriously. I understand Hannah not being “fair” , because stifling her hard words is denying her right to speak to her truth, which was horrific. And #metoo, btw.

@Brian Mull I disagree. Comedy is a amazing platform of truth, holding a mirror up to society. It can be shallow, deep, profound, but also cheeky in it's ability to convey a message to the masses without shoving it down peoples throat. Hannah, in Nanette shone a mirror to society and shoved her message right down our throat - some people laughed and cried (others thought it was shit)- and based on viewing numbers worked for most. You don't have to find it funny. But the majority of people still define it as comedy. I don't think racist and sexiest comedy is funny, but I acknowledge it as a comedic art. That fact you call Hannah "he" without knowing her preferred pronoun, indicates a disdain for her existence and not interested a nuanced discussion of "what is comedy".

[@almogdov]

Well that was unexpectedly hilarious. Now I want to watch her special. Edit: watched it, loved it. More details in comments.

[@lilorebo]

Get ready for a roller coaster of emotions!! It is great !!!!

[@thisiscait]

@neds8111 cool but he called it a special

[@lynnej.9357]

You will laugh. And you will think. And you won't be sorry.

[@thisiscait]

@neds8111 Aside from being subjective, you're arguing against terminology no one used.

[@jaymierae9890]

It was AMAZING

[@devenkalra0000]

She is amazingly intelligent and funny in a non-conventional way. Love listening to her.

[@shimmeringfairydust3275]

What a truly delightful, lovely soul. I love Stephen, too.

[@kikivolauvent1]

it's even better on the 2nd listening! And seeing Stephen quite out of words is priceless too!

[@Walperion_Music]

"I meant warmth"! Lol this is exactly like I sometimes talk, my voice doesn't really obeys the orders from my brain and doesn't convey the emotion I try to convey. So I need to vocalise the emotion after I say something - like - "Classic. Warm voice." "Classic. Cold voice." "Classic. Funny voice." "Classic. Beautiful singing voice".

[@marieb.6680]

She's just so genuine and unintentionally intentionally funny that the awkward air surrounding her is the good kind of awkward if that makes any sense

[@Joel00000]

her special is one of the most powerful hours Ive spent on netflix thus far. cant wait to see the new one !

[@ingriddubbel8468]

Are you familiar with capitulation and punctuation? Its I've and can't.

[@Joel00000]

@@ingriddubbel8468 what a wierd thing to care about. Of course I know of those things but I wrote it in a hurry and didn't care. You act like you couldn't understand what I was saying..?

[@oppie2363]

@@ingriddubbel8468 It's also it's. If you're going to waste your life trolling KZbin comments about grammar, you should probably work to correct easily avoidable punctuation mistakes in your own comments.

@@oppie2363 And "capitilisation" not "capitulation".

[@oppie2363]

@@frolickinglions Lol - true, true. I legitimately had no idea she even meant "capitalization" but that makes total sense. The irony is strong.

[@kpearce7961]

This was one of the best interviews ive watched in a while. I kept having to pause and rewind because I was laughing so hard I missed the next joke.

[@IFEELFINEIFLY]

her suit is the same colour as the chair and it is perfection

[@rikch01]

Wow. Spontaneous, authentic & witty. Really enjoyed it.

[@lizc6393]

She's so sharp... "I'm not from around here" you could hear the swooshing sound as that went over Stephen's head.

[@everythingshiny]

Loved "Nanette" although it was hard to watch, I had to pause several times and it left me reeling for a week. Too real. Full credit to Hannah Gadsby for having the courage to do it.

[@chrismueller8861]

this Lady is great - her wit, her subtle humour - just awesome

[@MaggieD]

I totally recommend folks go see Douglas if they get the chance. It was a great show (saw it when she was in my city a couple months ago). It did not make me bawl like Nanette, but it did make me laugh so hard I cried.

[@MaggieD]

Also. I totally loved this interview. Hannah Gadsby reminds me a bit of Tig Notaro in how well she does with silence/tension. Brilliant. She has turned her social awkwardness into a valuable feature.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

What do you think of Aubrey Plaza in interviews?

[@shelleygilbert]

I know nothing about this woman, and I absolutely love this beautiful awkward conversation. Do it again Stephen!!

[@gilliankennedy3836]

We're very proud of Hannah in Australia x

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

I'm not. She's rubbish.

[@ShishakliAus]

I think you'll find less than half of voting age Australians are

[@Ludifant]

Don´t claim her succes as a nation, maybe she is succesful despite of being Australian? Or maybe it just has nothing to do with it..

[@frolickinglions]

Good to see the incels are out in force. It would be a shame for women to feel good about themselves or other women, right incels? Hannah is more awesome than they'll ever be.

[@audreyh6628]

Zygmunt The Cacao Kakistocrat and how about you mate? On the rubbish meter that goes from ‘worthless piece of shit’ to ‘I human trash, but I at least keep my pointlessly negative thoughts to myself’ where are you?

[@CassTaz]

Classic when said that way means something else in Australia. It means 'typical' or 'what I would have expected'. Hannah and Stephen just did great improv.

[@KatherineBright]

Ah Hannah. I love you fellow Tasmanian xxxxx The classic Aussie humour comes through in the nuances. You are truly brilliant just being you

[@Walperion_Music]

"That means... Everyone except you!" Lol I love how blunt this sounded haha!

[@fionnahuman3820]

Oh my god. The "I have a problem with tone" at the end. I feel that so much.

[@Karlettastar]

Booyah! Love my Autistic Tribe 😍 Awesome to see honesty on TV. It's an anti-dote to the bullcrap spun by corporations and politicians. Love that Hannah called out the creepy throw away line! It's really great seeing that on tv as well.

[@Felixia33]

Wow I've never meet someone that talked like me before. I loved her specials.

[@kikassglass]

her special had me in tears. so powerful! she is amazing.

[@tjac1]

Bring her back. Omg. They’re adorable together

[@teresawilkinson6231]

Hannah Gadsby is so refreshing, & such a joy, love her work 😍

[@penguinlover2274]

I really liked this interview. I think Stephen did a great job helping her shine :)

[@Deidre0000]

I've aalready rewatched the interview 3 times, plus stopping to rewind in between. She is that compelling.

[@howabouthat8606]

'Nanette' is brilliant, uncomfortable, moving, powerful.

[@witchHunterRN]

Stephen should have her again... I haven't laughed so much during this interview. She's such a treasure.

[@mollyspurgeon8469]

Holy hell I'm glad I finally jumped on the wagon. She is a hoot! I'd heard a lot of good things about her recently, but this whole segment was delightful from top to bottom. Even when she's not trying to say anything funny I was still entertained:)

[@lb5368]

Back to watch this in 2022, and loving "I meant warmth; my tone said 'cold'" ❤❤

[@treehouse318]

this was wonderful and freakin hilarious, i'm still smiling- thank you!🥰

[@KOwens-ul6sy]

She’s so charming 🥰

[@frankcooke1692]

Seeing Hannah on the late-night talk show circuit and the Emmies evokes the same kind of feeling as seeing Eric Bana playing serious roles in Hollywood films.

[@Pippis78]

Learning how to articulate and say out loud the differences in communication seems SO MUCH BETTER a choice than trying to "mask", keep up and be normal.

[@CruzR1111]

“I meant warmth but my voice said cold” 😂 For all the non aussies out there “Classic” is an 1980’s Aussie slang term used after someone says or does something funny or to refer to someone or something as funny. E.G. “Hannah is such a classic.” 🤓😂

[@lucamolta]

i know the americans are missing out on so much of our good vibes we are dry as fuck but we are WARM

[@anthonywhelan4660]

Na, she's definitely awkward and boring.

[@lucamolta]

@@anthonywhelan4660 what if i told you she has a dick and is a he, not a she, still awkward and boring or is she cool and quirky now

[@CruzR1111]

Anthony Whelan to each their own. I personally have thought for over a decade she’s funny AF. Her dry weird humour is very Aussie. She is definitely Awkward, that’s part of her charm. Especially since she actually is on the Autism Spectrum. Pretty brave even for neurotypical people let alone someone with Aspergers. Not everyone is gonna laugh at the same things but she is pretty popular globally now and all comedians love her too.

[@taradrolma2774]

Rose Cruz I’m American and I got it. But thanks.

[@DF-xj4pv]

I love her. I just love her. I'm not sure how much of her delivery is calculated and how much is truly her struggling a bit, but she seems so genuinely personable.

[@vickythecat1741]

Being 'weird' myself, I really appreciate all unique, peculiar, out-of-box personalities on this planet. Especially ones that makes us laugh and simply tell people that they should get rock babies instead of having human ones. You go Hannah!

[@kts8900]

I love how she fucking ran this interview. They are both brilliant in their own way but she made it clear she was running it.

[@floorbrown]

She's Brilliant

[@LisaLisa001]

OK I'm watching this interview several times. It is so funny. I love seeing Stephen Colbert react.

[@karencarson8090]

You have Hannah and still book another comedian? Just continue the conversation.

[@bosniak1961]

God it is so nice to see somebody who doesn't even know how not to be themselves. If I had a show she would be my guest every week.
