The World needs more Wanda Sykes.
Not true.
I do not want to have children, the world is not easy and everything indicates that it will only get worse. I don't want to put a child in the world to suffer
Love this woman. She is the funniest ever!
Wanda Sykes Rules....ALWAYS funny!
Wanda Sykes is one of the funniest comedians around. Her mother is one of the sweetest persons I met when I lived in Portsmouth.
How sweet.
Well her kids are my friends at my school
“I don’t need to touch you”. I love it Wanda. Well said. Wish I could express myself as eloquently as you. 🤓
😆
Yes! I almost spit-take on my laptop!!!
@JagBrit .
SHE IS THE ONLY WOMAN WHO WAS ABLE TO MAKE ME LAUGH AFTER MY MOTHERS CANCER SURGERY AND AFTER CARE THRU 24/7 Mom care..... I ADORE WANDA!!!❤️🙇🏻♂️🙏🏼😂
"Don't worry about it, Liz. You got great hair!" 😂 😂 😂 "Kevin wish he had your hair." 😂 😂 😂 Love Wanda!
Are you kidding me, trump could really, really use her hair!!!!
Agree on the hair. It really is the best revenge-ask Ivana.
Wanda Sykes is always fabulous.
Ohhh I love the new hair cut on Wanda!
She looks fab
I see Wanda I click🥰
Wanda Sykes is a genuine American National Treasure!
Happy birthday Kim Fields!🤗🤗🤗💐💐💐🎊🎊🎊🎈🎈🎈🔥🔥🔥🎂🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁 Thank you, Kim, for being brave enough to share yourself with us!
I’m obsess with the Upshaws ! The relationship between the characters of Wanda and Mike is from another world funny. The writing is amazing !
And they give Wanda the BEST lines.
factsssss
Wanda’s make up and hair looks marvelous 🥰
@Ser Ka Totally agree!! She's looking great.
I do not want to have children, the world is not easy and everything indicates that it will only get worse. I don't want to put a child in the world to suffer
Always does. She’s the best!
She's hilarious. And adorbs.
Adorbs much you fomo
Hilaridorbs? Nah, hilaradorbs!
"... But why risk it?!" I love Wanda! Jimmy, please book her on your show more frequently.
Wanda kills me every time, and I'm all for it! ❤️
Wanda is right, no matter what you think of Liz Cheney, she does have great hair!
And balls!!!!
Yeah... It's that perfect shade of Fox Bleach Bottle Blond!
Don't know where she dug up her recent principles. It certainly wasn't Fox or her father!
Dammit, it's true.
I thought I was the only one who thought that!
my dear lady Wanda Sykes! this lady has made this firefighters day. you see, I suffer with severe ptsd and this is therapeutic vibes from this woman! so funny 🤣 thank you dear lady
Hang in there brother. You are important and deserve to be happy.💪🤓
Laughter is a type of medicine. I wouldn’t be here if I couldn’t laugh. Stay strong in this cruel world.
@@lynnwilhoite6194 it is work to stay cognizant of that and I try. thank you for your kind words 😊
@@armusc757 it is easy to lose sight of that, especially in light of the ugliness in the Globe currently. thank you for kind comments! ☺
Thank you for the services you provide your community and country. God bless you. I don't know if you are aware of EMDR. It is a drug free treatment that has proved most effective in helping combat veterans with PTSD. You are in my prayers 🙏💖
I... looooove Wanda!! Hilarious and might I also say she is aging BEAUTIFULLY!✨
I totally agree! She’s hilarious, funny and aging beautifully.💝
I do not want to have children, the world is not easy and everything indicates that it will only get worse. I don't want to put a child in the world to suffer
I'm sad this interview had to end. ☹️
Wanda was hilarious in Monster in Law with Jane Fonda.
Loved Her. In Monster In- Law and In The,New Adventures of Old Christine.
Wanda sure was great in monster in law
Now I need to see Monster-In-Law. I love both Wanda and Jane.
Wanda Sykes is great in everything, I haven't seen one stand up show or film including animation that she has stared in that didn't make me laugh.
Yaasssss!!!!! Super funny!
She's not wrong - Liz Cheney really does have some amazing hair.
I agree she has beautiful hair
Wanda Sykes is symply the BEST! I thought I would never laugh again. I WATCHED HER PERFORMANCE, GOD MADE WANDA THE BEST COMEDIAN EVER!!❤️🙇🏻♂️😂😂😂🙏🏼
I sure do love Wanda Sykes 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️
Wanda is the best! I think I've watched every one of her interviews during lockdown.
Yup 😁, if I see anything with Wanda on it, I have to come to a screeching halt and watch her lol😁.I love this crazy lady so much.
Wanda should make a sitcom based on her own life! It would be fun with her white, French wife and her own black American, southern family!
Yes! Great idea!
That would be awesome!!! I would watch 4sho!!! ❤❤❤
Yes!
She’s is hysterical 🤣🤣
I haven't watched a sitcom since the early 2000's, (for some reason I started gravitating towards other types of shows after Frasier, Friends, and Will and Grace ran their course) but if Wanda and her wife's life was used as a springboard for a show, I'd definitely tune in! I agree- I bet that each woman's unique personal outlook, their different cultural backgrounds (and obviously, Wanda's sense of humor) would all serve to keep things interesting. :-)
I love Wanda. I didn't realize she was so petite.
"Nothing personal Jimmy, but I don't want to touch you." Love her jacket.
Kim Fields was hysterical in “Living Single”. Love Wanda!
I love that Jimmy said that she was one of the funniest people on the planet. I totally agree.
Wanda Sykes is the funniest woman, in the world! Great interview, Jimmy!
She can't help just funny
Who else here would vote for a 24 hour a day Wanda channel?
I am syked for Wanda. It will get my vote
@@VV-fe8mf 😅😅😅 good one!
Well, yeah!
Damn Skippy!!!🤣🤣🤣
I'm cool with that too!
Love Wanda Sykes she is a wonderful comedian so funny.
Nice to see things looking like normal, guests on the show and Wanda is awesome!
I watched the Upshaws on Netflix yesterday, it was very funny. 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I have not seen Wanda for so many years. So good to have a double laugh. Thanks Jimmy all the way from NZ.
Wanda looks FABULOUS
Happy Birthday Kim Fields! Love the new show!
One of the funniest women in the industry. Her gig on 'Old Christine' was hilarious. So wish that show was still on. Julia Louis-Dreyfus played old Christine. Clark Gregg played her ex. Best cast too.
That was one of my favorite shows! I loved when Blair Underwood was on it.
It is on in reruns.
Omg I loved that show! Loved the brother.
Loved that show.
Love that show!!!!
*My mom was so sick of the crappy gifts my sister and I got her as kids that once she said “Just get me a broom.”* 🤣
That’s hilarious!!!
You played the long game, nice!
Wanda is hella funny. I flew from Hong Kong to San Francisco in February of 2018 and my seatmates wiped everything down almost including my balls. Wise women. Hahahaha...
Love Wanda!
You watch the upshaws
Love JAMES! and Wanda
She's the best!!! Her last standup is FIRE!!!
I just love her. She’s one of the funniest comedian on this planet!❤️
I agree!
Love Wanda....welcome back! For years I have been laughed at when I wear gloves to pump gas. Think about it, have you ever seen anyone clean the pump handles?!?!
I've missed you Wanda 😂 We don't need to touch 😂😜😁
Wanda is a national treasure. His long till she gets that Mark Twain prize!?
That's for talented and gifted creative writers not stupid hollywood idiot half comedians who suck up to the corrupt socialites.
@TheTRUTHmatters! Ok beta go march for soy
She deserves a Twain award.
You're absolutely right, Michael! Wanda Sykes is a national treasure and I hope she gets the Mark Twain Prize!
Can we nominate her?
I would watch absolutely anything if she is in it!!!!
Pootie Tang?
The Upshaws is a hit.
She is so funny on The Upshaws.
SOOOO happy to see in person people!...
I have an aunt just like her. She's a hoot, I can tell ya... but do not get her mad!
Hey friend! Nice to see you again! Lol 😂
I promise I’m not a stalker, but your avi always catches my eye.
"I don't need to touch you!"
Gawwwddd. I've always loved this woman. Always! 🥰😍🥰
Wanda looks as beautiful has ever with a sparkle in her eyes.
I LOVE Wanda Sykes!!!! So did my momma, and she would've been 96 now, but we lost her 10 years ago! She would call me in to watch Wanda with her. Good times....
Your mother had a great sense of humor! I hope they have Netflix, in heaven, so your mother can continue to watch her ❤️
I needed more Wanda in 2020 - like once a week. She's so frickin' funny 🤣
" she is now fully vaccinated". Never thought I'd hear that as an intro to a celebrity on a talk show but, here we are.
@Ebby C exactly its shoocking 😲 i was thinking how is it our business when he mentioned it 🙄 they are payed to lie to us.
It’s almost like there’s a PANDEMIC going on that it’s important to get vaccinated against?
The Upshaws was a great add by Netflix
Facts!!!
she's genuinely funny. love her.
Thank you Wanda for the Upshaw show...... I just finished it, couldn't stop laughing through the whole thing..... so very funny
Wanda is my favourite. Thank you for having her on!!
The comedic timing on 'The Upshaws' is so on point...love that show!
I had just finished watching a couple clips of Wanda back in the day. I swear she looks 15 years younger now than she did 15 years ago
She slick said "no fly" in Liz Chainey hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣💞👍
I accidently discovered Wanda on CZcams in it's early days when they would copy something from the 70s, 80s etc. TV, movies and specials and paste it into a video. I can still remember it now and she had a nice black leather jacket on for the set. She is a comedic assassin (thank you Mr. Seinfeld). Two words from that set: 'drink man'.
Drink man, is a classic Wanda 😂
Ms. Sykes has just the right amount spunk! Hope you will tour to make us all laugh!
Wanda, you look so pretty tonight! And hilarious as always. I loved seeing you live in Belgium. Please come back as soon as possible 😍
I love the Upshaw’s! Wanda Sykes with Mike Epps are hilarious…
My dad briefly worked with Wanda back when she worked for the NSA. Apparently, people were _terrified_ of her. If there was something messed up that would make her job difficult, then it was known that you'd better fix it quick because you don't want to cross her. So something went wrong, and to mitigate the issue, my dad spent like a month actively avoiding being in the same room with her. Like decades later, he's watching a talk show and Wanda is on, and he's like, "wait, I recognize her...", and she starts talking about what it was like when she worked at the NSA, and his jaw drops and he remembers who she was. Crazy stuff.
Being in the business she is in, I don't blame her for being a perfectionist at all. She seems very strong and intimidating as a person though, especially if you weren't doing things how she needed
Well what did your dad say if they did cross her? It seems like more to the story, like she’s probably just a protectionist so people are taken back when she’s serious (working) perhaps and blow it out of proportion?
@@lde2709 Yes, I need more from this story. Fascinating stuff!😁
My dad worked for US gov’t too, and he bitched about a black woman he was “forced” to work with. Accused her of getting her job by sleeping with a politician.
As a kid all I heard was his racism and jealousy.
Too funny!
A sweet heart, you don't want this interview to end! 😍🥰
I absolutely love Wanda as Granny Sloth in Ice Age and first season of upshaws is really good her and Mike Epps are great combo
I LOVE Wanda Sykes. The lady is awesome.
Wanda Forever ❤️👑
LOVE HER!
Wanda is the best!
Love the Upshaws!! Binged the whole season in one night. Can't wait for season 2
One of my most favorite women on the planet. Would love to see her live again.
When you have Wanda Sykes on your show, don't interrupt her, just let her talk. Whenever she's on any show, I'm like "shut up Jimmy or whoever." Wanda is funnier than you, let her talk!
Everyone is funnier than Jimmy k
@@jlodge9281 well everyone but you!
Love Wanda! So funny!
Truth!
Yeah Jimmy inserted his own stories into the dialogue a bit too often. It kind of stopped her from her flow.
Kevin McCarthy wishes “he had Liz Cheney’s hair” ........and her balls! His are at Mar-A-Lardo lol 😂
😂
Lardo--love it!
Good one, love it!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Good one!
Attn. graphics department; We need a McCarthy with Cheney's hair, please. Thank you.
Love will come to you when it's ready, not necessarily when you are.
Zzzzz
Love her! 😂🤣👍👏
Wanda is so funny 🤣
A woman I met back in the day would say whenever she met someone she didn't like when we would go out, the way she would que me, she would say to that person, "you have really nice eyebrows." It still makes me laugh!
America needs Wanda more than ever
lmao I wasn't expecting her to say "Hurt Locker suits"
Wanda S,great and humble lady always good watching and see you in shows.
I kept thinking liz had great hair too hahaha
She's wearing STARS!!! I love her.🥰
Yeah!! Wanda totally ROCKS with that new hairstyle!!
My whole family is family funny! Love Wanda!
Love her….so funny as always!
Love love love Wanda Sykes!! The Upshaws is hilarious!
Love me some Wanda 💜
I LOVE Wanda. Smartest person ever.
You look fabulous, Wanda. I came to see you in Chicago for my birthday and I gave you a Kork Kid that I carved. Blessings 💌
Her new show is so funny. Hilarious. 😂😂
Wanda is hysterical !
I missed Wanda. Nice to see you again! I'm so glad you tried out to be funny because you sure do make me laugh
I love everything Wanda Sykes has been in.
Nobody talks about Pootie Tang :/
The laughter is getting ready to rumble with the Great Wanda don't give Fuca Zone.
The socks are your barrier to protection. LMAO Bowling shoes are not an issue. LMAO
Wanda the way she say things is such hilarious
