This is how you have an interview! I've seen some where the moderator is completely rude and oblivious of deaf culture. This was very respectful

It's so cool seeing Alex gesture whenever he speaks because even though I don't personally understand ASL, it's clear that he does a bit of that every now and then assumingly out of habit

Daniel signs very fast! But he's a very intelligent and insightful person and it shows he has a lot he wants to get out at once and so I admire that very much :)

Worked so well in the Deaf West production that I'd never want to see it any other way again. I've been going to Broadway since I was a teenager in the 80's. This is the best live show I've ever seen, period.

This is really cool. I just want to say that I really look up to Alex, because I would have been very nervous sharing a room with people I have no idea how to communicate with and he just seems very respectful and open, which I think is great.

Awesome translation in this interview! The interpreters were very respectful of the Deaf interviewees in letting them know they were being asked a question and getting the attention of the hearing interviewers so they could add their thoughts. It was so sweet seeing Alex sign thank you and wonderful job to the interpreters. That little moment showed me it wasn’t just talk, he had actually put an effort into learning how to communicate with his Deaf colleagues, and I found it exceptionally sweet.

"I don't think there is [a difference in comedic timing] between spoken languages" There definitely is. Many countries and languages have huge differences in both comedy in general and comedic timing specifically. The differences in culture and language means that there almost always is.

I’ve watched this interview a few times over the years and I wish more interviewers were like this guy. He spoke to DANIEL and looked at him while he was replying rather than the interpreter. Far too often do they ignore the actual guest and focus on the interpreter. The only time you should speak to an interpreter is if you’re directly asking them a question about them being an interpreter, otherwise you speak to the GUEST

I think it's to help the hearing audience distinguish who is talking, and to give it a more conversational feel, and as you saw, I feel it would be quite a bit of work for one person to interpret when they're signing/talking quickly.

It's actually pretty common- almost to the point of being the standard- for interpreters to work in teams. There's a few reasons. For one, it can help them handle a big group like this, there were so many different people that could be talking that it's helpful to have two people to help distinguish. In cases where there's just one person talking (like a speech or lecture), it can also give each interpreter the opportunity to swap out and rest a bit every so often. Plus, there's also oversight this way. You may have noticed one interpreter having a bit of trouble interpreting for Daniel at the end there. That's just something that happens, it's difficult to avoid and I'm amazed they went that as long as they did without that sort of lag, but when that does happen it can help to have another interpreter to help figure out how to phrase the bit the first interpreter is having trouble with. In addition to all this, it's becoming more common these days to have one interpreter in the team be a CDI- a Certified Deaf Interpreter. This is an interpreter who is themselves Deaf-- a great many hearing interpreters learn ASL later in life and it's much less natural for them, and CDIs can help them bridge the gap slightly. So in that case, the hearing interpreter would provide more of a literal interpretation and the CDI would work to phrase it in a way that flows more naturally in ASL and takes Deaf cultural context into account (ideally hearing interpreters should be able to do that too, but sometimes there's just still the slightest gap there, and there's a lot of contexts-- like court-- where you just can NOT have that sort of ambiguity)

Though the CC is benefitial it's ENGLISH! This is about the DEAF. HuffPost, you failed in that you should have had an insert with camera's on the the interpreters for the DEAF watching this interview.

Unless they were signing in IS (which I highly doubt they were), it wouldn't make a difference anyway. Most, if not all, deaf people who know ASL will also be able to read English. Also, captions are helpful for HOH people who never learned sign language (because their level of hearing loss was never high enough to warrant it) or for deaf people from outside of the US (because English is one of the most widely written languages). Personally, I think that captions are best option here.

Agreed! How hypocritical is it to have Deaf people in an interview and give them screen time when they are signing an answer to a question and then not provide the same level of access for responses from hearing members of the conversation for Deaf audiences???
