    My favorite was during harvey, when the houston fire chief was speaking at a late night press conference, mayor standing beside him, everyone clearly exhausted. The fire chief paused mid sentence and looked sideways at the interpreter for a moment, then caught himself, started chuckling, and admitted he thought the interpreter was mocking him for a moment. Press, interpreter, everyone rofl'd. It was great.



    Funniest covid-19 ASL moment so far:

    Wow that interpreter is the furthest removed into the background that I've seen. They're usually right up there with the speaker, because facial expressions are so important in conveying adjectives/adverbs. Yeah, I'm going to need you to move a little further back... why don't you go ahead, and climb those steps?

    Why just have one interpreter when you can have two. Who will upstage and add a third.

    One of the two interpreters laughed when Cuomo was airing his brothers dirty laundry on national tv and that was pretty funny.
