I love her, shes dope. My brother is deaf and it makes me happy when they actually give deaf people the light.

I love how inclusive Trevor is of the deaf/ deafblind community. From his comedy show "Jokes about deaf people" to his interview here on the Daily Show, he has done more for the community than any other TV show host I know of!

Wow props to the interpreter. He’s quick and even kept the flow of the convo!

👍for the translator as well

She's still so gorgeous after all these years.

This conversation moved me so much. Both Trevor Noah and Marlee Marlin were so graceful. Interesting conversation and great interpreter.

I don’t typically leave comments, on TDS videos, because the comment section can kind of turn into a cesspool. But this was far too important to not say anything. I have grown up watching everything Marlee has ever done, and her work has been of such integral importance to my life, at every stage. No, I’m not deaf, but I’ve a lot of deaf friends over the years, one of whom was born deaf, as was his whole family. He’s like a younger brother to me, and I wanted to be able to talk to him and his family, in the language they knew best. I’m like that with any new language, since English isn’t my mother tongue. ASL, then became important for me to know, and be able to teach to my family and friends, as a way to understand me, because I have an autoimmune disease, that causes symptoms which make it impossible for to vocalize, either from it being too painful, or because I lose my voice entirely. These bouts can last for several days, and Marlee’s work played a huge role in my learning and teaching ASL. She was even a huge part of my coming out, and learning to understand my sexual orientation, and how I interpreted it, because of her role in L Word, a character who, at the start, gave me my first glimpse at polyamory(which I am), and was an artist, and expressed art in a way that didn’t fit in the box my teachers and professors were trying to force me into. All of her characters and works, have pulled something from my own soul, and allowed me understand how and why I felt things. I wouldn’t be who I am today, without Marlee Matlin’s influence in my life, and I’m eternally grateful to her for that. Also, I’ve had a massive crush on her, since I was a kid(I’m 33, for reference). ☺️ Thank you to DS and Trevor for doing this interview with her, and thank you for EVERYTHING, Marlee. 💗

I have worked with Marlee and Jack. They are inseparable. I was just starting in the business but they were kind enough to not make me quit.

I love what she was saying about how you can't put on a disability like a costume, we are not costumes.

She's an awesome actress!! I love her being deaf didn't stop her from being the face of diversity and change 😊☺️

I can’t stand that Hollywood STILL casts non-deaf/blind people. Or anyone with special needs. Like she says “We’RE HERE!” It’s so sad 😞

Thanks for featuring Marlee Matlin, and so glad to see more deaf/blind actors getting to play these roles! Of course any abled actor can play such a part, but why deny these roles to the actors out there who can only play roles like these, especially when they bring such authenticity to their performance?

switched at birth was the first show I saw with her in it. And I have loved her ever since!

Marlee has stopped taking the spotlight in order to shine it on others within her community. She doesn’t wish to be known as THE deaf actress but as simply one of many.

The best translator i have ever witnessed. Bravo!

She is awesome. Went to the same high school as she did but she was out by one year when I got in. I did get to meet her when she made a visit.

Trevor you are the sweetest!💯❤️

She's so adorable beautiful and talented . . . a very touching story 💗💖💕 thank you Trevor for having her on your show ❤

Great interview. Thanks for doing it. Also thanks for showing her sign as well as having the interpreter. As someone who is learning ASL because they are losing their hearing this meant a lot to me.

Thank you Trevor for this interview 💯💯💯💯

This was a really touching, beautiful and important conversation 🤍

Fell in love with her and Mark Hammond at the same time. She is superb and still so beautiful more than 30 years later

I accidentally stumbled across “Feeling Through” last week on Omeleto here on KZfaq. Such a powerful film, and knowing Marlee Maitlan is a part of it just makes it all the more special ❤️☺️🙏🏽

Every time someone in the public eye uses ASL, wears a hearing aid, speaks with a d/Deaf accent, etc., it heals me to max hp

I wonder what Marlee Matlin thinks about the deaf actress playing Jia, the little deaf girl, in Godzilla vs. Kong

She's one of the best actresses out there, period! She's the youngest ever recipient of the Oscar for Best Actress, and her acting chops and her accomplishments have only increased since then. She's been my favorite actress for years, and I can't wait to check out her new movie!

1:07 Trevor's face

I love Marlee and Jack so much! I love how personable they all are while addressing important topics!

What an amazing woman 💙 And what an awesome interpreter 👍

Awww. Those smiles are priceless. Blessings.

Lieber trevor, danke für dieses Interview. Es ist wichtig für die Welt das zu sehen. Alles gute

One of the most moving interviews. Thank you Trevor for bringing this into my world

Beautiful interview Trebor, she is amazing!

Omggggggggggg I love her. She's one of my favorite actresses ever. Great interview!

She is an inspiration and she's absolutely right, do not overlook talent in whatever package it comes to you in.

I have been a fan for years!! Great Actress and person!! Another great interview! Ty

Looooove her. Amazing interview.

I remember growing up with Marlee Matlin! She is amazing! and Thank you to her interpreter, Jack Jason. I wish we all knew sign language. I wish we all knew how to communicate with each other.

Really great interview I enjoy that you did everything you can do

That was a great interview. I loved Marlee Matlin and impressed with how she never allow anything to prevent her from her goals. We should all learn from her.

I'm a huge fan of hers! Love this interview!

this is fascinating. the translator is amazing too

PLEASE interview more Deaf and/or Blind actors, writers, producers, activists, etc etc. 🙏

While I absolutely applaud that producers put her in shows and movies and didn't have an actor "pretend" to be deaf, it is a little sad that there aren't many (any?) other hearing or sight impaired actors who made it on.

She is fine was fine for years one of the best actresses I have ever seen.... I wanna know how she still look so amazingly young. She was my first look into the deaf community she normalized the deaf/blind community for me and a whole world of viewers. She is an exceptional actress to the point you would forget she was deaf. And she never sold out her integrity. she only did movies with power and strength a true hero for us all. I remember like I would be like wait Marlee Matlin got a movie out no I'm staying home to watch it ! Like cancel all my plans.... Now that's a commanding actress. I wish her everyday the very best. Nothing but great words for her and about her 👏

For anybody that doesn't understand, a person who learns sign language who is not deaf - they sign without the same expression/emotions (unless they are deaf or raised with a family member who is deaf).

It warms my little deaf studies heart to see someone as legendary as MM on the daily show

Grew up watching her and she's an icon!! Love her!!💕💕

Important content! Thank you for sharing this, great interview! God bless, keep up the awesome content!

Just inspired me to look up ‘Feeling Through’. Looks beautiful!

Watched “Feeling Through” right after seeing this, amazing short film! Within an hour after that I was in contact with someone at the Helen Keller Center for volunteer opportunities!

I usually watch the interviews if have some time over before going to sleep, but this one I watched as soon as I got home from work and saw it in my subscriptions.

I was so excited to see this interview in my subscriptions. Hope to see more interviews like this in the future.

What a trail blazer. Marlee is a national treasure. She deserves a Medal of Freedom.

She has the most amazing, expressive face. Every nuance is right there. I love her.

She’s so beautiful and sweet! I loved her right away. The interpreter was pretty amazing to me too. I’m profoundly hearing-impaired, but I don’t know sign language. It always impresses me.

This is so wholesome! Can't wait to watch this film!

Watching the Interpreter work...I'm so very impressed by his focus and skill. Kudos, sir. Kudos.

I know her from the magicians. Its great to see she's in this and im excited to see it.

Hell yesss!!!! I am so out of the loop I didn’t realize she has been involved in so many things! I saw her in The Magicians and my boyfriend and I love her character. Full of sass and true to herself. I hope to see her in more things, but will definitely be going back through her career

She is the best! Wish they could have used her more in The Magicians. She makes me want to learn ASL.

Wow, she still looks amazing and is sharp as ever. I've had a crush on her for decades :)

I honestly don't have the words. Wonderful to see her and the community finally being given some opportunities.

I LOVE Marlee Matlin. She is so talented and amazing.

She's the only def actor I know and I love her. He movement is very powerful and much needed in the global industry. I wish her all of God's favour. Great interview Trevor.

I love her so much. She’s such a badass actress and advocate for the Deaf community and disability community as a whole. The first thing I saw her in was Switched at Birth. I cried because it was the first time I’d seen disabled actors onscreen. Still one of my favorite shows.

I remember from a few episodes of Law and Order: SVU. Her character was close to John Munch (Richard Beltzer). I really do feel that people with those specific disabilities should act them out. I know some think you should be able to play anyone, but as she said, actual members of that community give that authenticity to the role. This reminds me of the character Reagan in A Quiet Place, or Connie from The Walking Dead. I find it extremely important that these roles be filled with more people who actually live it.

I love her energy. And that translator is insanely amaaaazing 🤩

Years ago, when I was invested in the study of ASL, I made a sobering discovery about just how important proper grammar is. In English, "you're" and "your" sound _identical,_ and so people who live primarily auditory lives in English tend to get them mixed up. In ASL, though, they look _profoundly_ different.

This made me so happy

I am a big fan of her... So inspired.. Thank you @trevor noah.😍😍😍😘😘😘😘

I loved the deaf assassin character in season 1 of Fargo. Also because the fact that he was deaf was completely incidental, it didn't really matter for the story. Yeah they got some funny banter out of it between him and his partner but that could obviously have been done with a character with perfect hearing ability. But they sort of went out of their way to create a deaf character, hire a deaf actor for the role and didn't make his story into a sappy "sad disabled person" story, the fact that we was deaf didn't really matter.

i love her. i think i first saw her on seinfeld. 😻

She might be an actual vampire... how has she not aged since I was 5?

you can literally see Trevor trying to control himself from completely fanboying Ms. Matlin, I absolutely love that Trevor is more than willing to bring in guest from all walks of life

I have had the biggest crush on #marleematlin for years! Lol. Oh yeah-and she is an* incredible actress, too 😉

I love how when Trevor talks he does the sign language and then when he talks the translator does it. That's really cool. Something I've never seen on Daily Show so it's definitely something different

I realize how bad my sign language is, because she is fast! I know I'm not fluent, but I'm definitely knocked down a few rungs. She's great, & I wish she was on more movies etc. Hollywood needs to hire more abled, & disabled people. Whether deaf, blind, crippled, or all three or another issue they should be included more often in movies, & tv shows.

I'm fuckin cryin. I "talk" to many, and for this to casually queue thru my YT bloodfeed to remind me among the many has blessed and humbled this shy introvert. Though I yearn to dip my fists in the message "We are You, perspective cannot enslave Human experience" and go to town, speeding up the tempo doesn't finish the song...

Who tf is disliking a video about this?!?

That smile 😁

This was a cool interview

This is very wholesome

marlee martin shows how smart person can be beautiful in many ways...

I've watched her for years. She's beautiful

She was so fun on the l word...and I loved Children of a Lesser God. Oh and hilarious in Seinfeld...she's always great

Oh wow, love this interview

The interpreter is soooo on POINT, amazing work

Outstanding 👏😎👍 it's time to recognize that differently abled people aren't dis-abled.

Trevor did well interviewing

I’m glad this was brought to the surface! Disability NEEDS to be more represented in society! I was born legally blind and I make KZfaq videos about disability and soon service dogs. I’ll be getting my first guide dog soon! I also got hired last year, in a volunteer program at my local hospital. I work with sighted or people without disabilities.

One doesn’t experience self-transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates 🚩

She was already a pro in "Children of a Lesser God", even though it was her first and she hasn't changed a bit since ❗👏👏 (often when I really like a piece of music, I think back to the scene when William Hurt was trying to explain music to her.... indeed, how DO you explain it...as pleasantly all-consuming (?)

For real a thumbs up for that translator

I Love her Yesssssssss 👑🙏🏽💫Blessings Beautiful Soul 👑

No joke in this interview - toooo serious Trevor !

Huge fan of hers. Hope hollywood stays more inclusive.

Bring deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing people together!!!! 🥰🥰 We want deaf, deafblind and hard of hearing community become popular!! Love it!! 😎🥰

DTV on SABC3 in South Africa back in the day.

This is too great!!!
