Alex Edelman Talks Wrapping Six-Year Journey With ‘Just For Us,’ Jonathan Glazer’s Polarizing Oscars Speech & Embodying Empathy The World Needs


Comedian Alex Edelman spoke with Deadline about Jonathan Glazer's polarizing Oscars speech and more while discussing his solo show 'Just For Us.'

“I just felt the real comet’s tale of people and things and experiences that have come behind the show, and it was a sort of equal parts mixture of gratitude and sadness.” DEADLINE:This show has so many layers of implications for the world — particularly in a heated election year — in terms of the discussion you lead about empathy and the challenge of breaking out of our individual echo chambers. DEADLINE: Expanding the conversation on empathy to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I’m curious to hear what you thought of The Zone of Interest filmmaker Jonathan Glazer’s highly polarizing speech at the Oscars.
