If you write the Latin out, use a comma and then set "id est" in italics:
He was an idiot, id est a bozo.
However, that is an unusual way to do it. More common is:
He was an idiot, i.e. a bozo.
That style of punctuation follows Merriam-Webster and the Chicago Manual of Style.
For British English, you will sometimes see these:
He was an idiot, ie a bozo.
He was an idiot, ie, a bozo.
He was an idiot, i.e., a bozo.
