Waste of time. This interview is sad. Fortune is sad. It’s time she grow up.

I do love Neil, his comedy is excellent and I’m glad he’s managed to work his way into some happiness. It does seem like he tries to simplify his guests problems though, I mean, it seemed in this like he really wanted her issues to revolve around first her weight, then her sexual preference, but the weight thing he just kept bringing it up over and over.

I love what you do. But you very frequently cut your guests off just as they are about make a point. Could you please work on that?

Telling Fortune who is already a bit un knowledged on ADHD, to take RIDLIN was not cool? that is the drug of a bad era and bad outcome, shame on so many comedians who give out pharmecedical ideas to strangers. RIDLIN is a nasty and bad rap drug. Cant spell it but man I hope she doesn't follow his advice on that. Nutrition and health and drugs are not for comedians to hand out.

I feel so sorry for Neil, and his ongoing fake persona of being straight? This man has done so many thoughts in this interview trying to just flat out say "Hey ,IM Gay too" he can't do it?? look at him? his stand up is always about sexual pursuits with women, what I think is Neil is a transexually frustrated man like Catlin Jenner, and wants to be a women and be with women, it to me seems so obvious. Oh and Fortune is a Rock Star, loved her since her appearance on Chelsea and beyond and her latest special on Netflix is fantastic. Good on her : You go girl 🙂

The hearing sounds like auditory processing common with ADD versus actual hearing ability.

I have never felt more like a ghost than watching Fortune think she can't hear well. I'm just in my house, screaming into the ether, "It's an auditory processing disorder related to your ADD!!", realizing they can't hear me.
Did anyone tell her? Is there a statute of limitations on letting a celebrity know their neurodiverse brain is basically a '98 Dell that is trying to both start up and connect to the internet at the same time and offer them a hug so they don't feel so bad about struggling?

I wish I had the guts to try. I’m older … just seems too late and terrifying. However… music and comedy and my two greatest loves and I think I … MAYBE… could have been a writer.

“Did you come out here to be gay?” Sooo solid! Great joke.

Fortune is going to be one of those snowball success stories. I feel like she pops up more and more as the years go by. Very funny comedian, actor and one of the most accessible personalities in Hollywood.
Would not suprise me if she gets a lead role in a film. Sooner or later

I love Fortune. Every time I see/hear her voice though the very next thing I hear is Tig's mock shocked voice, "FORTUNE!". Makes me laugh before Fortune even drops her unabashedly truthful stories. Her standup about being on a swim team as a kid was so relatable – my favorite of her jokes.

I think the main reason that negativity towards same-sex couples, pride events, etc., is a thing again is that certain people see other people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, Marjorie Taylor Green, etc., constantly opening their mouth holes and spewing out ridiculousness and feel like they have permission to be flaming assholes…

When he talked about cutting to Fortune my immediate thought, and what I thought he was going to say, was that when the camera cuts to Fortune you immediately get a smile…

Fortune and her laugh and thoughts put into stand up make life so much better. She adds to the world and especially us who get to see her even just online, more than she'll ever know. Comedians are so important and her comedy makes this shitty life so much better. Ty fortune for all you do. And I'm not separating it into lgbtq, I'm just saying for us humans!❤❤❤❤❤

I’m obsessed with stand-up comedy, and I attend live shows often. I laugh a lot at every show, but when I saw Fortune in Jacksonville recently, I didn’t just laugh, I got happier. She emits an infectious joy that stays you. ❤

This whole “men are like this, women are like that” conversation is so tired… all of us gays understand that all men and women fall on a spectrum. Just because you have more testosterone doesn’t mean that you have less empathy. Thats not a “guy thing”. That’s a personal trait that you need to work on.
