S19·E110 Laverne Cox, Paralympian Ezra Frech

LAVERNE COX is here! She’s a groundbreaking actress, the first transgender woman of color to star in a leading role on a mainstream TV show, “Orange Is the New Black,” and an Emmy-winning producer! Laverne will talk with Ellen about her new Netflix series, “Inventing Anna,” and play a fun dance game with tWitch!

Then, Ellen welcomed back Ezra Frech, who was first on the show in Season 12 when he was just 9 years old. Back then, he told Ellen that it was his dream to be a Paralympian, and now at 16, he’s back on the show just months after competing at the 2020 Summer Paralympics! He'll talk about his experience in Tokyo and what he's doing now to provide adaptive sport opportunities for people with physical disabilities or visual impairments.
