Stand-up comedian Lliza Shlesinger discusses her new Netflix special, 'Confirmed Kills,' explains why she addresses sexual assault - but not sex - in her act, and explains the concept of girl logic to Larry. n/a
She comes out to me as an extremely intelligent person . Comedy is her meduim of expression, and evidently she is incredibly talented too. Its a pleasure to watch her speak with such confidence.,and originality.
First off, I have such a deep respect for how intentional and thoughtful she is about using her platform to speak on issues of social justice. What a gift it is to have a person, not just have the guts, but the talent and ability to eloquently articulate both the importance of, and the reasoning behind, the stances they take in a way that makes people internalize the message through laughter. Secondly, the first time I saw her I knew she was extremely intelligent, funny, and immensely talented. I am now realizing from her interviews that my initial impression was an injustice to her true genius. The degree of difficulty it takes to just deliver her jokes -- jumping back and forth between multiple perspectives at great speeds while barely taking a breath for many minutes on end without ever stumbling on a word -- led me to believe she must write and practice each joke hundreds of times before getting on stage... Then to learn that she doesn't write down any of her material!?!? Mind blown. #GeniusJokes
I would go to a packed theater during this current epidemic of covid-19 to see her I love her comedy so much. Yea binge lliza this day off coming this week.
I've got to say, one of my favorite things about this interview is how when Larry asks, "Why do girls blah blah blah" she always answers with "I think WOMEN blah blah blah because...." I love her.
I just discovered her. I really really like her. She is smart. She is hilarious. She is strong. She is honest. She’s really in her own league. I enjoyed this interview.
She puts a tremendous amount of genuine work into honing her set. She works out all the body motions, and the stage presentation, and all the voices, and all the word choices, etc. In this regard she reminds me of George Carlin.
My dad was listening to this while we were outside and asked who she was. I said she's the comedian I was telling you about. He said he thought she was a lawyer because of how she talked 😅
WMsandKFCisBackMOFOs Of course you would, she’s so above you, yet you’re still down here judging her speaking on the spot. I do love how you’re so delusional that you think you could though hahahahahahhahahahahaha.
I love watching her mind work, and as she talks you can ACTUALLY see her mind work and her mind moves at break-neck speed and I love every second of her performances.
SameSoup - She's the first woman to ever win "Last Comic Standing." She's a feminist who loves men and is very reasonable as a spokesperson. There is a vulnerability to her that makes people more willing to listen and not see her as an enemy. I think she's got the potential to really advance women in comedy, in the United States, and around the world. Looking forward to seeing what she'll do.
I doubt she will change the world. I really like her, she's one of the female comedians that actually have good material instead of playing the women card. Tired of all these damned privileged women.
I like her, she is funny and intelligent, I hate that she swears a lot; it seems that nobody cares about it anymore. Everybody swears. I am thinking about what she said about a couple of things, and I agree with some; it is true that women's very lives depends on others and what they think. Still, I am happy that I care much less than many others do, because I try to be nice anyway, and when I lose it, it is lost so, no bother, no point thinking about it when you have already messed it up. Of course, I might just be ashamed later on, but when I am losing it it is just that; and people get a piece of my mind, like it or not. Iliza you are great I laughed my head off and cringed at the same time, because of some of the things you said felt absolutely uncomfortable and because of the swear words which I hate. Cheers, I am glad you uploaded this interview it was just great!
I have to say that I enjoy women comics more than men because their material seems more real. I've laughed out loud sitting at my computer listening to Iliza's bits. She is one of the funniest comics out there today.
Around 22:50 I’d say guys put just as much money in to the date before hand as well. We do all the stuff you do when it comes to looking good, clean and gas up the car, the money you spend on the date after dinner etc... so no, the time it took you to get ready doesn’t pre-pay the meal lol.
She does such a good job with his hacky questions and comparing her to other female comics, like all females are the same? Female journalists, female politicians, female comics, how much they have in common is not the topic! come on Larry
The kind of thinking that Iliza attributes to women, I identify it as an anxiety prone personality profile. I would identify myself with it and I am an man. I know plenty of other similar cases. I love Iliza btw. She is awesome.
we need people that aren't always clean or even for jail in congress, and anyone that makes their whole life without mistakes, curiosities, and lives in the digital age. is either to good for this world or not to be trusted. #ilizashlesinger @ilizalesinger #watchthevideo #badasscomic #BrilliantWomen #intellegnceincomedy
Also , Trump should be in jail, have most of his money taken away , lets let him have a 25,000 dollar allowance, no one gets to help him, and ever two days he has to talk about what he did was wrong, why its wrong, and why he thinks this punishment is getting off super easy. not enough rich go to real jail, or there wouldn't be as much rape. and yep to many thoughts
Mr. King calling her a doll at the end is quite patronizing as the last comment / ending note. I mean no surprise, he also told Anna Paquin she couldn't be bisexual if she's married to a man. Not to mention he pronounced and spelt Iliza's name wrong like 7 times.
SHE WAS GREAT UNTIL SHE SAYS WOMEN SHOULDNT PAY THE BILL BECAUSE IT COSTS THEM TO GET READY FOR THE GUY. THAT JUST DESTROYED MY LOVE FOR HER. NO, ITS NOT EQUALITY UNTIL YOU ARE EQUAL.
@@algilmer3608 here we go. This has nothing to do with gender you firestarter.It is all entertainers,we may know how they swing but we really don't want to dislike them. This goes for the Left and the Right. Nice try but you don't know me and the strong women that are in my life.
"Be a voice for women without bashing men.." Wow, that's a new one. "Cat-calls" I keep hearing these women who keep hearing all these cat-calls from men would really like to actually hearing all these cat-calls from men but I have never, ever heard one. I worked in all different types of jobs and have traveled quite a bit and I have never heard a cat-call. I truly think it is another example of problems with female perception - the same kind where all women think that any man whom she does not know who talks to her automatically thinks the only reason he is talking to her because he wants to have sex with her. "I don't mind men saying disgusting things...with other men..." Women never, ever say disgusting sexist things....ever.....never....idiot. Oh, and thank you for giving us horrible men permission to say disgusting things amongst ourselves if we feel so inclined. If feel so much better now that I know it is ok with you....for the record...Guys should pick up the tab because women have already put so much time, effort and cost into just being on the date????? Really? That's right, men don't have to spend money on clothing, cars, haircuts, etc, etc We get all those things for free of cost from the Governing Patriarchy. Actually it is part of exchange - he pays for dinner, and you get to decide if he is good enough for you and if you are going to let him have sex with you. Always required to look perfect??? Required by whom??? I bet if you asked most men they could care less about how much your make-up, dress, hair, etc, etc. cost and they would wonder why you were stupid enough to think it means anything to us. If a guy likes you, and he asks you out, you know he is interested in YOU, and NOT your makeup, hair dress, etc, etc. Grow up. Men can say and do whatever they want and not have to worry about consequences, and only women need to worry about how they are perceived???? Again, REALLY???? Donald trump can get woman fired for not real reason so that power automatically get conferred to al men??? She is such an idiot., or am I only misconstruing what she said?
She’s very quick witted, intelligent , attractive & funny. Those are 4 GREAT qualities in any person. However, the whole “everybody’s a victim....ESPECIALLY women” liberal attitude.....is the one thing I don’t like about her.
