"we're either be brave and curious, or fearful and suspicious. im trying to be brave and curious" ... such an amaziingg human being... oh man what am i doing with my life
meh. I think many people figured that about Eddie. Do what you love, you are all that matters. Being a bit socially accepted makes life easier at times, but being yourself is often way more rewarding. Dare to have personality.
There’s nothing brave about dressing up as a woman. Lmao
Our world has become so secure that people think men dressing up like women are “brave”.
@@joshuawarrenyeah3705 What would happen to someone who did that 50-100 years ago in any western country(not to even mention most eastern, middle eastern or African nations)they would be beaten, perhaps even killed by local populous,suffering criminal persecution even,perhaps psychiatric treatment(and I don't mean regular psychotherapy,back then I'm referring to lobotomy and things like electro-shock therapy).Societal norms now in western countries are more accepting of who people are. I'd consider it to be relatively brave.
@@joshuawarrenyeah3705 In the late 80's and 90's?! He was the *FIRST!*
The first A-lister (...B-lister) who crossdressed on stage as an unrelated thing, and broke a lance for tolerance of harmless kookery everywhere. You had to have insane bravery to get on stage like that. Reduced chances at gigs, the crossdressing overshadowing your actual material, verbal abuse and a non-zero chance of some conservative throwing a brick at your head. At the time the DSM and a zealous psychiatrist could technically have gotten him sectioned.
As a colonel of the Joshua forces, I am taking away your Joshua privileges. [strips rank insignia] ...and busting you down to Josh 1st class! You summer child.
I love you for this comment, I had exactly exactly the same reaction to this interview and posted that quote on my FB page while thinking, man, I gotta be more brave and curious...:)
I suspect that Izzard's IQ is off the charts.
Mos' def!
EQ
U mean below?
This is Fox news' worste nightmare. A South African host and a trans identity guest discussing running marathons
You need to see the comments on Joe Rogan's podcast
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.
Something wrong with u u need Jesus in ur life racist idiot
*straight trans guest is Fox news' (pun intended) worst nightmare!
T Mox ur mum Nd ur papa that have that
If every politician was as smart as Eddie Izzard, we'd have world peace.
and a nail polish shortage
✅🤞
It'd be difficult to be as SMART as Eddie, but we could try to be as GOOD.
We should be so lucky
as a politician they're an embarrassment. i'm not blaming them. it's just that you need certain specific qualities for it that izzard lacks
Hearing him say “cake” immediately made me think “cake or death?” Lmao!
Same. Dressed to Kill is the best special of any stand up I've seen.
made me think of cake and sodomy xD
Little red cookbook!!! I can't lie I always go to the Death Star cantina every time I hear his voice!
"so my choices are or death?!"
@@shay2218 yea, the sound of all the snakes in san francisco ;)
Eddie Izzard is an exceptional and a wonderful human. May he live long and prosper 🖖
so is he a man or a women ?
@@deadman-zc5ro He's a man
@@iamsproutman i don't understand how is he a man and putting makeup at the same time ?
@@deadman-zc5ro I guess he just likes it and stuff
@@deadman-zc5ro maybe he likes it?
I have loved Eddie Izzard for years now, and literally every time he does a show or interview it just makes my day cuz he is so delightful and positive. An absolute inspiration.
So so very true!
I wish I could just hug him...hope some of that amazing rubs off on me 🤗
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.
"Because we are all human." Just cuts through all the anger and division and BS. Bless you Eddie!
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.
You're an amazing human being Eddie Izzard. John Cleese was right when he referred to you as the Lost Python.
Emperor Nimbala totally!
Yes!
I just want 1% of Eddies' determination. I would be a very different person.
Same, Eddie is one heck of an inspiration
An excess of determination might just cover up some personality disorder.
Not to pick on Eddie in particular.
1%? That would be 4,2 km runs for 27 Days. Possible, and much more than i do now.
@@schneetier8581 Not impossible. And considering that Eddies life surely wasn't easy it might have something to do with it. Some people grow with problems others shrivel. Eddie most likely grew. A lot.
On the other hand - there's a ton of reasons why some people run marathons and others devolve into couch potatoes...
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.
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
I absolutely love his look. He makes (almost) anyone look beyond the make-up, clothes, etc. And listen to the content. And Eddie can *really* make you think of things you've never considered.
I care about how he dresses because he has super fashion sense and always looks amazing. But thats just frosting on his comedy and his awesone personality.
@@Nnibelan
😊👍
Too bad he can't run for president here.. or maybe a loophole.
G. Washington was British.
transgender... Thanks...😉
This man is simply amazing. More moral backbone than most suit wearing puritans.
Apt
Even when talking about running, Eddie still manages to slip in a history lesson.
Eddie Izzard is a gift we haven't earned.
Looks more like confusion to me but hey...im a bigot
So right! Insightful and clever, just brilliant!
@@wendygoodman333 Your right.... You are a bigot :( Why do you care what other people do? Unsatisfied with your life perhaps? Who are you to judge anyone?
Mankind need more of those these days...
Well said! I hope he is able to get the votes and start making a difference. Wish he'd run (no pun intended) for office in the US. McConnell would head for the Galapagos islands, Graham would have vapors, and the rest of them on the other team would sit there dumb founded. Oh, wait, they already do that. 😊
"Dress to Kill" turns 20 years old this year. This man has been so ahead of his time. It'd be awesome if he went back to San Francisco and do a 20 year anniversary show
youngchristianrecord yeah just take a cab to the show...of which there are five!
I was just thinking how timeless that show is. Eddie Izzard truly is timeless. The jokes from that show, for example, still work today.
Eddie is an exceptional human being. He is currently (Jan2021) running 31 marathons in 31 days and then after each marathon he does a 1 hour standup performance. this is ALL for charity. It's called a Run for Hope, Make Humanity Great Again. You can see this on his youtube channel everyday as he runs and does interviews via Zoom. Like I said he's incredible. I'd love to have a coffee with him.
Eddie Izzard's Dressed to Kill was epic, its great to hear him talk politics.
"Dressed to Kill" Thank you! I was trying to think of the name.
It's "Dress to Kill"
My favorite show of my favorite comedian 😍
Two champions from different generations, who have overcome and smashed pre-conceived ideologies....bring the world together as one.
Rob Roy literally talks about globalization and you think he’s a champion... right...
Bdo2
Besides the obvious smarts, lips and nails on point. Always loved Eddie, always will.
Completely loved Eddie's work for over 20 years, been to several shows & met him at a screening of "The Cat's Meow" (in which he portrayed Charlie Chaplin wonderfully). 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.
OMG!!! Two of my favorite comedians on this planet on the same show!!!! They need to do a tour together!!!! Mahalo nui!!!! This has so made my Monday!!!!!!! "Do you have a flag?"
Came here to say exactly that!
Such a lovely human being. Love that Eddie knew about Trevor’s dad and, Trevor’s penchant/proclivity for languages.
"You could have died right?"
"Well...technically..."😂
I cannot convey in words how much I love and respect and enjoy Eddie Izzard
It's always nice to see an interview when the two have admiration for one another and have a real connection.
I’m so embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know who Eddie Izzard was until now! He is funny, but more importantly he is a good person! I’m going to binge watch everything I can on him right now! Thank Trevor for once again enlightening me and teaching me something new!
I am in awe of Trevor's ability to interview people from all walks of life. Keep up the good work.
I too am amazed at how he can interview an Englishman with a strait face.
@@flowerpink724 While Sara Beth was probably referring to Eddie Izzard's transgenderism (or, "male lesbianism", as Eddie calls it, since Eddie is not gay), rarmonkey, whom is probably being facetious, or perhaps sharing a similar point of view of many fans of Eddie Izzard (that is, his personal tendencies in relationships seem to be unrelated to his ability as a comedian) was jokingly implying you were referring to his Englishness when implying Eddie Izzard is among those from "all walks of life", as in, to say he is abnormal (which would be correct, but most fans were slowly introduced to how he is now so they had time to adjust while never focusing on it because he is a talented comedian, ableit, with a bit too much jam)
@@Kiflaam holy shit, i'ma give people a summary of what you said, seeing as most won't get it: Gender is irrelevant, the message is more important than the messenger, Eddie is more than his act. I think that's about it
Why? It's his job to interview people & people generally come from all walks of life.
Eddie, fortunately, comes from silly walks of life.
Thanks for having Eddie Izzard on. I love him and it's so good to see he's doing well.
Her
Brave and Curious or Fearful and Suspicious...that's a keeper.
I love Eddie so much. The world needs more Eddie.
I love Eddie for being so determined, educated and willing to learn and go beyond
Eddie, after so long. He is a legend.
SHE
@@e376342 from everything thing of Eddie's that I've seen, he uses male pronouns to refer to himself. I think it's fair that we do the same until we are corrected by Eddie.
Legend? I'm 82 and have never delighted in this character Eddie Izzard! This entertainer must come forth with some tie into the recent past to clutch me into his refreshing message. ❌⭕️❗️❣😈
eddie has said he uses both he/she pronouns
@@chrisbcpack good to know. Do you happen to remember when/where he said that? It's a question I've come across a lot recently and I'd like a resource to direct people to. I can't seem to find anything useful when I go looking myself.
Can we just have Eddie Izzard as president of the earth, that seems pretty brave and curious to me.
am so with you on this
And hard working!
WOW! What an amazing human being!! I want to see more of this in the future. Eddie AND Trevor are so inspiring! Love!
I love Eddie Izzard! I've been following his story and career for about 25 years now, and he's absolutely timeless! I actually had the opportunity to see him live several years ago, and he's brilliant!!
I didn't know him before but now i'm a huge fan.....you go Eddie
A true renaissance man, eddie is. He is the link between who we are and who we can be. Truly inspiring.
Omg, Trevor this is prove enough that you’re one of the most amazing human being in the world, I know Eddie might or it’s already comfortable with who he is, but I can also see how you’re making him feel more comfortable with who he is, especially what you said about the guy in London, Hats off Trevor✊✊✊👍
Eddie Izzard is an exceptional human being ❤.
Ever since I saw Eddie do his HBO special when I was a teenager, been a huge fan. Definitely helped open my eyes about trans people. Made a big difference in my life and many others. Great guy!
Jay Murphy it’s so wild. I remember seeing him and loving him years ago and at the time I didn’t know what trans was. I just thought he had an amazing suite on. Love this human!!
I just have to say I love Eddie and Trevor for the humor they bring to the world.
Awww, I love Eddie Izzard so much!! He is such a legend!! 20 years later and Dress to Kill is still one of my favorite comedy shows. I'm so glad I was able to see him live when he did Force Majeure. His open view of people and the world, plus his love of learning languages, is what helped motivate me to study and work abroad. It's funny because Trevor Noah seems to have that same type of open world insight in his comedy and stories as well. Seeing these two together just made my day.
If you're unfamiliar with Eddie Izzard, I highly suggest watching the "Death Star Canteen" bit or "Cake or Death"... but let's be honest, all of his work is brilliant. Enjoy!!
i'm usually shrugging people who mention the word 'marathon' but holy shit, what he's doing (and why) is heroic!
Saw his standup here in Kuala Lumpur and it was amazing. So much respect for the guy.
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. This is why he his between the scenes segments are so popular. He has the ability to say, "Ask me anything", and then answer it to a high level of satisfaction.
I also like Colbert. Trevor Noah is brilliant.
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. Trevor, on the other hand, actively leans into that. Like the between the scenes thing with Anna Kendrick. 🙂
Eddie Izzard is a gem. An absolute gem.
I love Eddie Izzard, I saw him in San Francisco back in 2005. I would love to see him again now I’m 35 instead of 21.
He’s so far beyond just a comedian. He thinks so far outside the box to solve problems that take others years to get to that level.
One Person Can Change the World. here's two that are Evolving Your Planet.
Somehow you having a beard in your profile pic gives your statement more gravitas. 😂
But they aren't. They're just distracting us from the depression that reality gives
@@evilovesperry depression usually comes from something that happened in the past. Let go of that be optimistic for the future. Or seek professional help, I'm just a TH-cam commenter.
@@Moneyg73 . Congratulations on being innocent. In time you'll see for yourself.
@Enlightened Perry you can look at reality and go "Oh hell, we're fucked." Then decide am I going to be depressed about it, or am I going to live the crap out of what I have left. The depression you talk about, is a choice. What can you lose by choosing to not be depressed? Don't answer me, answer yourself.
Thank you Eddie for making me happy for so many years.
Learning languages just to make someone laugh in their native language? That’s some serious commitment to your craft right there! Izard is truly an amazing creature...
👍Yes
So heartwarming Trevor's acknowledgement of Eddie's role in his success and carreer.
power up, dont power out. recharge dont overcharge. be like a tiger. sprint and recover. i love it.
Eddie is an absolutely amazing comedian. I love his shows.
I love Eddie and I love that color pink on him! Gorgeous with the black outfit!
I adore him. I think he is handsome/beautiful and brilliant.
Trevor or Eddie?
@@shakeemaadowney2063 Actually, both of them!
gina928 : I agree 100%! Both of them, brilliant outsiders who show us how to be better human beings. And both of them drop dead gorgeous.
*misses one marathon due to being in the hospital
**does two on the last day to make it up.
Eddie is an amazing human being. Shows how arbitrary and self imposed most of our perceived limitations are.
The more you know Eddie Izzard the more you just plain respect the man. Love these two together.
The respect, genuine curiosity, and care Trevor displayed during this interview should be a lesson to us all.
"Brave and curious!" - Eddie Izzard
I love Eddie Izzard. He has kept me laughing for decades. So cool to hear that Trevor views Eddie as something of a mentor. Best interview ever!
Eddie is an awesome human being. Smart, funny and calls it as he see's it.
Eddie Izzard, always a treat!!!
Eddie Izzard for High Exalted Supreme Ruler of Earth 🌎... "Cake or Death?" 🎂 |☠
Cake please😁
I love Eddie ❤️. My favorite comedian with always a history lesson to learn from. This man is absolutely Brilliant ❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Thanks Trevor for inviting him to the show. I wouldn't have known about him from the other sources I watch. Really an amazing person.
I would love to sit in a pub and have a few beers with Eddie. What an incredible human being.
I love Eddie Izzard! Just absolute love
"I'm battle-hardened for that." Yes, Eddie, YES!
Just makes me love Eddie Izzard even more. He's lovely.
One of the most genuinely awesome people in the world!!! I have always loved his humor, appreciated his heart, and respected the hell out of his ability to walk better in heels than I ever could. 👏❤👏
For those not familiar with Eddie: google Death Star canteen
Or listen to Latin...is a very silly language
I will do just that. Thank you.
beekeepers!
Penne all' arrabbiata
I can kill catering with a thought!
I would vote for Izzard for anything
Patty and Buster Show that’s scary
@@brandonkruse6412 - Thanks, for giving us a good example of the "fearful and suspicious" choice Eddie was talking about. You made it easy to see how it can make a person look really small and miserable. Yes, being "brave and curious" is something worth aspiring to.
I have nothing against Eddie, but blindly voting is ridiculous. Maybe wait until you hear actual policies.
@@RandomTH-camNameAgain - Yes, I agree with you about that. I always like to do my research after everyone has spoken close towards the end. So that I feel I have enough information to make an informed decision.
Eddie is a great comedian!!! Love his skit with Darth Vader canteen. HILARIOUS!!! Would love to see him in more movies!!!
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!
I have always loved Eddie Izzard! He's awesome!!
Eddy you never cease to amaze me. You are a spectacular individual.
I'm only four minutes in. Eddie Izzard Live at the Sunset Bowl is diamond entertainment. Trevor is good stuff. This interview can't get much better, and it's just the beginning. They've already touched HIIT, marathon addiction, polyglot comedy, and how they first met.
IT'S AT THE FOUR-MINUTE MARK!!! COME THE HELL ON, FELLAS.
Shit. It got better.
YES! I love Eddie Izzard. It's so good to see him more.
Eddie is one of the best humans to have ever lived.
I remember watching Eddie back in the 90's when transgender wasn't really excepted by people in those days but everyone loved him!! I've always loved him and his comedy, he could always keep me laughing. It's really nice to see him still around and entertaining everyone. I think he's a really great person!! 👍👍
Thank you for such a fabulous, wonderful interview with Eddie Izzard - hands down, one of my top 5! You both deserve such kudos and warm wishes.
Saw him ~6 years ago at a Village bar. Still am impressed by his green nail polish. What a gem he is!
Love, love, LOVE me some Eddie! 💜💜💜
i do high intensity intervals of cake alternating with tv.
The only person that could make me laugh like a crazy person. Glad they put up the whole interview, time to get tickets, seen him every time he has come to my country so not going to miss this one
I was blessed to see Eddie on his 50 shows for 50 states in the US, brilliant performer and all around awesome dude ... the UK would be so fortunate for his voice in Parliament
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!
Two brilliant people in a small space. How lucky are we?
Elissa Weizman Sooooo many people don’t realize how incredibly intelligent Eddie Izzard is.
Infinite lucky
I’m so happy to see a TH-cam comment section where is no hate,judgment ,ignorance etc.There is hope in humanity after all ! God bless you all !
Fuck off
I remember watching his shows late night as a kid and he wore makeup and a extravagant more looking suit than the one he has on in this interview.
At the time I found him intriguing and quite handsome with the lipstick, and seeing him now I love how well spoken and grounded he is.
I see Eddie, I click.
Wow this Eddie dude. He seems really cool
rayon mathews He’s awesome. Most of his standup shows are on TH-cam, and they are a DELIGHT. He’s genuinely brilliant.
@@Jorjaraesmusic but is he a he?
@@rahuldesilva6800 eddie's said he uses both he/she pronouns
We need more people (especially in high power) like Eddie and Keanu.. sweet genuine guys who care about people.. ACTUALLY care about people..
Why have I never heard of this Eddie character? A new gem to discover. Thank you Trevor.
0:27 I love that when he mentions cake, I'm already eating a slice of birthday cake. 😂🎂
Saw Eddie in Ludwigsburg last year. Absolutely hilarious and brilliant.
Love you legend! Can't wait to see you perform in SF this summer.
What an amazing and compassionate person! 💝
