This is Fox news' worste nightmare. A South African host and a trans identity guest discussing running marathons

[@joaquin5028]

You need to see the comments on Joe Rogan's podcast

[@Allagi22]

Nope. Fox News points to people, and TV shows like this and uses them as examples to monger fear. This is part of their fear arsenal, not their worst nightmare. Their worst nightmare would be if their audience started to turn against them.

Hello TDSTrevor, thank you for Mr. Izzard for appearing on Comedy Central to speak of your place or your views with Trevor.

So nice to see two of my favorite comedians, not only knowing each other but having a little bit off history together. Makes me respect Eddie Izzard even more; he recognized the talent and qualities in Trevor Noah - and decided to help him, lift him. That is what we need - to see the qualities in each other, and help bring them out and about.

[@Trendyflute]

"Because we are all human." Just cuts through all the anger and division and BS. Bless you Eddie!

[@ozsfi]

Yes, I just love that. So many years I have in certain situations thought: Why women or men, we are just human. One might feel confused for a moment to see a man with make up, but then one just sees this likable and sincere person. Actually, when the camera shows him looking straight at you, you feel almost as if you were in the room with him.

Eddie Izzard is in my opinion one of the greatest comedian out there. Who cares about the way he dresses (I love the self description “executive transvestite”)? He is a great human being and his political message has been consistent for years. I would vote for Eddie any time I had a chance.

[@wordzmyth]

I love how he called the political opposition "the other team" naturally humanizing them and bringing in the idea of fair play. A humane genius

IMO Trevor Noah is the best interviewer. None of the current late night show hosts can match his level comedy + intellectualism. Trevor can think on his feet.

I also like Colbert. Trevor Noah is brilliant.

[@karlmortoniv2951]

You can see Colbert panic when something unexpected happens, which always surprises me and not necessarily in a good way. I don’t hate the guy or anything, it just makes my head tilt puppydog style.

Saw him perform in Shanghai a couple of years ago, and while he didn't perform in Mandarin(!), he had *clearly* done his homework or done an incredible job of observation, because he was able to throw in references to life in China that expats only really get after several years here. Beautiful mind, incredible person. Good luck in politics, Eddie.

[@Moneyg73]

So xxy?

[@maggiemurphy7382]

Mondo O No I don’t think he has ever claimed to have Klinefelter syndrome, but that there is a genetic reason for him being male and yet also female. Most people with XXY chromosomes aren’t transgender, and identify as male.

[@ShanghaiGoat]

He refers to himself as a lesbian in a mans body. Over the years he’s got some good gags out of that

[@crnkmnky]

Eddie is transgender, and Eddie is a man, but the term "transgender man" sounds inaccurate. I feel like he should get his terminology in shape for the election campaign, since the questions are inevitable. He would perhaps become the most visible non-binary trans person in the world, so I have selfish personal motives. 😉

Anyone else wishing he would debate Drumpf?

[@gpotts212]

Maka A who is drumpf? And yes I would love to see him debate someone instead of have softballs thrown to him the whole time. Trevor Noah is a weak ass interviewer.

[@scarlettrhoads1726]

He has better things to do.

Eddie is an awesome human being. Smart, funny and calls it as he see's it.

I love you Eddie! Loved him from my childhood until now. He never fails to make me think and laugh. And that lipstick is gorgeous!

[@StoneCairns]

"I'm battle-hardened for that." Yes, Eddie, YES!

I wish Eddie would have corrected Noah when he said "trans man" and used "he" for the person he was talking about seeing in London. I think trans woman and "she" would have been the correct terms, as in male to female transgendered person. A trans man would be female to male. Of course this is just what I have learned, maybe someone with personal experience can confirm or correct me. I just think it would be important to be precise and correct.

I came here specifically to say that. As a trans man myself I cringed when Trevor called Eddie and the other person a Trans Man. As you generally refer to the gender they are transitioning to (female to male would be trans man and male to female would be trans woman) there is a lot of gray area for people who are non binary but I have never heard of someone assigned male at birth referring to themselves as a trans man.

I cringed too but its interesting though, i watched a video where Eddie refers to himself as a trans man so its a murky thing. I don't get to tell other people how to identify even when they use the word differently than I do.

[@xerex21212]

Eddie isn't transgender. He's a transvestite. He's a man who wears women's clothes. That's it.

[@outuendo]

@@xerex21212 No he came out as transgender.

[@jbtpa895]

Amazing that he can do a entire long story in a different language and you still know what he's talking about. And it's laugh out loud funny!
