Wanda Sykes in Conversation with Jonathan Capehart: Not Normal
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 06. 2019
- Is it still possible to laugh at our contemporary cultural moment? If anyone can make it happen, it’s Wanda Sykes.
Join her for a candid conversation about what is and isn’t “normal” in 2019, her three decades working in stand-up, her recent work on ABC’s Black-ish and much more. Widely regarded by fellow comedians as one of the most brilliant stand-up comics alive, her new Netflix special, Not Normal, tackles everything that shouldn’t be funny right now-our current political and cultural climate-with gut-busting wit and intelligence.
Jonathan Capehart is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and a member of The Washington Post editorial board, where he is also an opinion writer.
Recorded on June 4, 2019 at 92nd Street Y.

Wanda is my favorite comedian. Can’t get enough of her originality and “we’re in this together” attitude. So clever.
She never fails to crack me up. That line about trying on the hat killed me.
I have probably seen this 4 times. This is either my 4th or 5th. And let me tell you; it NEVER stops being funny. Love you Wanda 💗
Wanda Sykes is one of the best female Comics since Moms Mabley! I had a horrible night!! And she brighten my day!!!🌞
She is absolutely the best! I've watched her career from the very beginning, when she was married to a man and doing standup as a side gig. She's a goddess of comedy and a brilliant human being.
She is funny comedian.
Wonderfully bright lady with a huge heart. She's an American hero! Thank you Wanda, and Mr. Capehart for such a great interview!
I totally agree. She is so
Smart, so clever, so creative! Fantastic!
Gotta love Wanda. Down to earth and clear. Love her!
Judy Doyle Goodness. Happens
LOOOOOOVE her. Comedians have become our philosophers , they help us make sense of the bullshit vacuum we currently live in.
She is next to Carlin.
So true. Thank you for the insight.
I definitely agree with that. I find it amazing that they are so brilliant and funny
Yes they have. Sometimes I think they are the only ones putting out the truth.
Wheezy
Well said
Shes the best. And she must feel EXACTLY like I do, cuz she explains it so perfectly.
12:00 I truly thought the toilet paper incident was a prank until I saw it on late night comedy shows. And, like Wanda, thought, “this is proof his staff hates him.”
I love her! Keep it up, Wanda! ❤️🇨🇦
What I like about this person, Wanda Sykes, is that she is such a intelligent woman. She understand how the normal person like me feels about the state of the USA.
Wanda Sykes is comic genius❤
I LOVE Wanda! Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
I love her so frigging much. She’s one of my favorite humans. ❤️
THIS I needed now. Thank you Johnathan and Wanda!
The woman can make the most insightful ststement ever and still be hilarious.
BRILLIANCE! 🐐
Love Some Wanda.!! She cracks me up.!! She is a realist, all across the board..
Love you Wanda. Keep going girl, you're the best.
Wanda is great. I just love her. I usualy watch her early stuff whenever I feel a bit off. Her comedy is also inteligent, political ❤️💙💚💜 Love it.
The toilet paper on the shoe comment, I laughed so loud I woke my husband. Wanda is so funny!
I almost woke up my granddaughter.
Yes and I think she's right. Who let's someone go around like that
)
Theresa McCalder I can laugh silently but I shake all over when I laugh. It wakes my wife occasionally but she doesn’t complain...much.
I have always thought that.
I love her so much! She is so damn funny. Way back on New Adventures of Old Christine her and Julia Louis Dreyfus were so great together! The Not Normal special taught me an extremely valuable lesson, and I love to learn. Go Wanda!
I'm gonna go watch clips of old Christine right now. Specifically when Barb slept with her brother lol
@@Aced84 Great! And when they own the gym together and Christine couldn't stop saying "black". Wanda is so fantastic with her facial expressions!
Totally agree! 😃 Love Wanda especially in The New Adventures of Old Christine! Her and Julia made an awesome duo!
Tina Hinkle, I agree 💯 with you
I ABSOLUTELY, COULDN'T LOVE HER MORE...I've been watching all her shows . And this interview was so interesting. We need comedians like her. I always after I watch her.. Say... LOVE YOU ❤️ WANDA.. And God bless you.
Absolutely love Wanda. Funniest lady there is. Been binge watching her for a few hours now haha
Pinnis Wife is
I do this often lol she makes me happy
She's so talented as a writer and a producer. I love her, too. She's simply the best.
(saluting) "You see that?"
(saluting) "Yeah"
LOL, Wanda!
Wanda made a great point. The president would never pass a security clearance. My stepfather aerospace clearance was suspended when he married my mom. He was moved when he married my mom until she was cleared. Jerrod did not pass so neither did Ivanka.
I think all candidate should pass security clearance in order to run for president before running for president. The top job in the county and no clearance required. Something is so wrong with this.
Stop listening to a moron. Of course you have to pass a security clearance. Are y'all mental?
Denise Paulsen troll alert 🚨
Exactly why we are all so stunned still. I think we all believed all Presidents are clearly vetted for security clearance. Unreal that this was not done or required by long term protocol. Still shocked every single day!! He is totally unfit and exhausting to even watch and esp listen to.. I just can’t anymore. He is a total Traitor to our good country and good ppl. Blue ticket. Vote blue by mail. 🌊💙🙏🇺🇸
Gina Weiss is you. I e the hi 👋 h
@@denisepaulsenful No, the president does not have to pass a security clearance. Worse, when his grown children and son in law are flagged for their foreign business investments he can overrule American intelligence agencies and grant them top secret government clearances.
Look it up.
Love this woman so talented ❤️
Love this women! She is so hilarious 😂 For me is the best Comedian.
Love Wanda! She’s got the election priorities right.
Just love her , she makes me laugh till I cry.
As to my previous post... The First statement I should have shared is that, She is a Very Intelligent Woman!!! I JUST LOVE HER...
Brilliant conversation! Thanks. Love Wanda!
Thanks Wanda! Needed the laughs!
10 min in… PREACH Lady W! -You said it! “No doubt” indeed!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY COULDN'T LOVE HER MORE!!!! I've always loved this Beautiful SOUL💙✌😁Did I mention, I LOVE HER😂😘💙✌
Hilarious. Love her !
Wanda was great on Curb Your Enthusiasm

#wandasykes an amazing human, fabulous comedian. One of my Faves.
Bless your truth Wanda 💗💞💕
Wanda sees what the rest of us take for granted from a totally different angle and interprets it in a way that always makes me think, "Oh YEAH!" She clarifies things in life great and small and makes us laugh doing it. One of the smartest ladies ever.
Absolutely wonderful. You are such a light.😂🤣😂❤️❤️
I love Wanda. This just showed up in my suggested playlist, and I love it.
Definitely been wearing a WTF!!! face since the inauguration. Before that, from election night it was crumpled in tears or in stark disbelief.
Wanda never disappoints. She could read a grocery list and make it funny. And I love this interviewer. He does his homework and is obviously a real fan.
Kia Ora from Aotearoa New Zealand 🌻🌷🌻
Loved your Netflix special, Wanda❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤ . The first of many, we all hope.
And yeah ..... I'm with you .... every day: WTF USA?!?
Love Wanda!!!!
She's hilarious I can't believe I watch something for a whole hour with my attention span, this guy is also a really good interviewer
Wanda your on it and does it GREAT COMEDIAN CLASS! RIGHT ON SISTER! SO FUNNY AND ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON TARGET!👍🙏😘
AWESOME is all I can say!!!
Love me some Wanda!!!😊❤and she's right on about tRUMP
Love Love Love WANDA!💖😂
GOOD FOR U WANDA. TALK MORE. WE LOVE U IN CANADA!!!!
Love, Love, Love Wanda Sykes. Movie with Jane Fonda, I couldn't stop laughing.
“Is America ready for a gay married president?”
“Well I wasn’t ready for a dictator.” 👌👏👏👏
I will clap with you!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
🤜🏼🤛🏼
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yep yep well said
Yes, we are, but Buttigieg is not what we want.
YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING WITH AN ILLITERATE, UNDISAPLEND, PRIVILEGED MORON, YOU CAN TELL TRUMPS ARRANGUTANG FATHER NEVER WHIPPED HIS ASS👍
I will be quoting her on that for sure
She nailed it. Being president is what is saving him from prison. He straight up said he doesn't care about the wall. The tape is public...but his supporters still eat up his hate and are inspired to keep it him in office.
You're an idiot. "eat it up, his hate to keep him in office?" 100% stupid in my opinion. This country needs walls just like our houses and cars. I'm going to go eat dinner now.
Wanda you are the best👍
Another 1000 reasons I love you Wanda.
love Wanda
Need to pass a security clearance before u can run for President. OMG! stand out point right there. Can't believe that not in place
They wouldn't pass a security questionair for for a basic retail job
Bad idea. It would be immediately used to block “inconvenient” candidates... like Biden
Ssnnnfff! Trump should be given a few RANDOM drug tests. His hyperactive behavior, talking in long rants, flying from subject to nonsensical subject without any correlation, turns bright red, yells & demands all the attention, the most & the best & the perfect & the biggest & the history making & & &! Next time you see him switches to slow slurred speech, mispronouncing words, talking as if dentures falling out of mouth, suddenly forgets what he is talking about, appears to fall asleep for few seconds, forgets what city he is in or someone's name, blames President Obama or Hillary for everything he has done, while taking credit for everything Obama did, making subtle racist remarks (using word subtle for him is bizarre considering he is nothing but), squinty blood shot eyes. Face it, he is not intelligent, ok bluntly put, most ignorant person to ever be given a public forum. He will go down in history, but not for the reasons he & his remaining supported believe. Republicans, save whatever shred of respect you can, dump Trump, then put as much distance as you can from him. The majority of the world laughs at him, has no respect for him & now reflecting very badly on his party that continues to support him. Long tirade, my best impression of Trump yet! Snnnnnffffff! VOTE BLUE!! 🌊🇺🇸💙🦅

Marlon Cunningham no one would be eligible.
tRump couldn't pass a test, they should have gave him one.
I'm so glad they spoke about Esther.
lol--I didn't even know about Esther until now. So funny.
@@maureennolan2784 there is a clip of the original skit on youtube... You gotta check it out 😂
@@ShadyPinesMa79 Many thanks, ShadyPineMa79!
Oh Good I haven't got there yet
I love her. Wanda has always been my girl. I watch anything she's in. Those comments on Trump were dead on. 😅🤣😂 Who else loves her?
I certainly do.👩🦳❤❤❤❤
Wanda's an amazing entertainer. Terribly funny. I believe Ms Sykes is terribly liberal, very much lesbian and she is, and doesn't like this President. It is what it is. Ms Sykes doesn't know how she's being screwed by democratic politics. Ms Sykes says the President's lying all the time. I disagree. I disagree.
@@bobdavis7290 that is your right to disagree,but she knows what she's talking about.
@@bobdavis7290 , skip you. Go find another page to grieve your differences. Right here, right now, it's about Wanda entertaining. Speaking truth.
@Marie Riegel , ya damn straight 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I wake up feeling like that every day. I look at myself in the mirror and am shocked at the look of lost bewilderment on my face. It is depressing, and if he doesn't get voted out next year, there is truly something wrong with us.
She seems to be an extremely thoughtful, insightful woman. Her comedy is hilarious.
Classic! I agree with the poster that likens the comedian to the philosopher, as they tend to speak truth to wisdom in a humorous way. I would love to see Wanda in a "Power Four" set with Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, and Kevin Hart. It would be as epic as the Kings of Comedy and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour.
.
Love Wanda, always have since seeing her in the 80's. Never seen Netflex though.
It's great
Remember when we had a constitutional lawyer as president?
Good times.
Any HUMAN mind is better than ANY RETARDED republican PREDATOR.
@@newwavenancy
Can YOU FLY? Neither can I.
CREATION measures VALUE by OUR DIVERSITY...OUR ABILITIES SHARED ACROSS TIME, and Not by our COUNTLESS DISABILITIES.
QUESTION , which RELIGION, Nation, army and invisible border belongs on our Beautiful Planet? Which Crusading armies of Army of retarded enforcers of LIES is the "GOOD ONE"?
Which one is NOT a DISABILITY ? A RETARDATION of defenseless babies. And CHILD ABUSE.
@@newwavenancy ,
:CONSIDER:
If we were born in Saudi Arabia then we would now be using their alphabet, speaking their language, saluting their flag, worshiping their religion and our uneducated sisters would be wearing burkas and walking behind the men like camels on a rope. . Babies are not born stupid. . Becoming stupid takes many years of ''education'' by the various preachers, teachers, peddlers and politicians destroying the children's minds with their lies.
It is never too late to look, see, think, learn and save your children from the war of words between LIARS that destroyed Human minds and our world.
@@newwavenancyREMINDER:
Babies are born BRILLIANT and ABLE to use EVERY alphabet, speak EVERY language, salute EVERY flag and worship EVERY religion we have ever invented. Babies were not born CRIPPLED and LIMITED to living, laboring, murdering and dying for coins, flags, religions and lies.
Babies are NOT BORN RETARDED. Making babies RETARDED takes many years of "EDUCATION".

I LOVE WANDA SYKES!!! ALWAYS HAVE.I NEED TO BINGE WATCH WANDA
funny when she jokes about her family
Fabulous interview all round!
you know, that security clearance thing before running for president... that's a genius idea
Its a bad idea. It could be used by the govt to disqualify people inappropriately to help keep the current president in power. Republicans would exploit it to maintain power.
lover her so much...
"did you think he would be this bad?" YES! What I can't believe is that Fox and the GOP still stand behind him!?!
I knew from the beginning that it was going to be really bad. My daughter said don’t worry, he can’t do but so much we have the Congress and the constitution. Well we see where we are now.
I get so puzzled when when I read comments like this one, why is no one aware of all the things he HAS done, that he said he would do in so little time that no other president has done? Wanda is hilarious when she describes him as the friend from college at your boss's party. He is out of the element when in the formal situations, & yes, sometimes you're cringing not knowing what is going to roll off his tongue BUT, WE NEEDED a guy who could give a shit what other stiffs think. By that, I mean he is the one giving the middle finger back to all the countries that have been sucking the life out of our nation financially. He has NOT changed his stance on those issues FOR FORTY YEARS! ALL the other corrupt, bought out, individuals from both our 2 main parties have flipped flopped every election year to fit the current popular views. Why do people forget this or refuse to be informed? I was guilty of it, but Im paying attention now. People have got to take note the 6 main networks are run & funded by the same people. It's controlled fiction, they are feeding the lazy who shuffle along their planned assembly line to destructive goals of killing our pursuit to be free.
When you say “all the things he HAS done,” to what do you refer? You did not provide any evidence that anything good has been done.
PONYTAIL ALOGGIN'ALONG he’s changed his position whenever expedient. Abortion comes to mind. Even moving from Democrat to republican! If his bully tactics didn’t come with a world of narcissistic self interest, then I could understand. But they do, along with Olympic levels of ignorance.
PONYTAIL ALOGGIN'ALONG and your comment didn’t age well. Things he has done: abandoned pandemic response team, ignore red flags about an upcoming pandemic. This has absolutely contributed to the US having the highest rates of COVID and even highest deaths per capita. I mean he said he’d make US number 1 again but this is not what was expected!
Russian Troll alert 🚨
"being in office is saving him from being in prison."
I ADORE Wanda Sykes! So funny, so sweet, so brilliant!
Wonderful interview with Wanda Sykes.
Shes my favorite .
So true with Trump i am Canadian and get embarrassed by him when he is speaking with the world leaders.
I am a great fan of yours love ur comedy special on Netfex ive watched it 3x already.
Yay! Fellow Canadian here!
Have you seen the latest "news" about the metric system?
Hello neighbors! MN here. Sooooo close, and yet an entire dictator away!
There are many of us who are dumbfounded by this horrid, crazy, bonkers, behavior...... I can't even. Thank you for confirming for my ass, who lives in a tiny ass town riddled with drugs, that this IS NOT NORMAL! Many of us been trapped in an episode of "The Twilight Zone." We are NOT all like him. He is NOT a good, or accurate, representation of the best of us.
He is embarrassing.
I'm Canadian too and feel the same!
I'm MORTIFIED he's my global voice. Canada, you're nice. We're super sorry about Trump..he is not who we are..and MANY of us are outraged, humiliated by him. I'm gonna LOSE IT if he wins 2020.
@@sunnylilme same here! Idk what I'll do if he's re-elected. This insanity has to stop, and it can't wait until nature runs its course. Because I mean eventually the man has to die right? He eats shit, his health is obviously shit, he won't last forever. But dam he can do a lot of damage until then. He's got to be ejected from office. This is garbage.
Yes. You must pass a security clearance before u can run for Presidency or any legislative position.
And Q made sure he was squeaky clean in the areas all the rest of them fail miserably in before they briefed him of the whole swampness of monsters working behind the curtains in the biggest exposure of the "sh@t show" that's been drowning the entire purpose groups of people got together to flee & search for prosperity for all of us to be free. They have ALL the information. This is the MOST complex strategic operation ("chess game") we will ever see. May good overcome the disguised devils in sheeps clothing. Praying for us all. 🧘♀️🧗♂️🤺🏋️♂️💥🎆🎇🥇🤸♀️🏆❤
Then I bet he paid for it...
ROFL. Where did you get that idea?
@@lisareed5669 ...it does not mean rich people do not sometimes side step the rules.. It pays to have a friend who's primary goal is to did up dirt and spread lies.
Anita B. Then who messed up??? They need to be exposed and jailed if they passed him. He clearly should not have ever passed period. His entire “presidency” is a gut punch to our founding fathers. Sickened. 🤬
Wanda for President. Impeach the Orange.
How did that go lol ?
Wanda is AWESOME... I LOVE HER... Not in a stalker stalky way.. FAR FROM IT... TOTAL RESPECT FOR THIS AWESOME WOMAN...
Ellen I have to give it to you, you have me cracking up laughing I'm a Cancer and I love to make people laugh😍 but I can say you and Tyrell got me Beat !
This guy is🥺 love love Wanda
Such a wonderful interview
Watching in December 2019...They are laughing at us!
This was so good. Subscribed.
I love her ❤😂
Thank you for the laugh I really need it after loosing 4 family and about to loose one more but you made me smile
Thank you!! ❤
Love you Wanda.............. so strong and s witty and great performer xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I so love Wanda! She is an absolute scream! She’s so real and says things as it is!! And she’s feisty! My favorite type!
Saw Not Normal the first night it came out on NF, then watched again the next day, and the next...
I felt like someone understood my angst about this POS person in our WH.
She is so tiny now? Looks great 🤩
i wish we had a wander sykes in England.
My thoughts exactly 🤣!!!!
"One is too small of a number to achieve greatness"
Lol, yes, also never underestimate stupid people in large groups. DS is the epitome of that statement.
I luv this lady and her outlook on life and Comedy.
We would be better off if Wanda Sykes and Trevor Noah were leading the Country. They articulate
what is going on better than our Politicians do, and know what needs to be changed, and how to do it.
Trevor noah is so smart and when he does his Q and A with audience, his sharp and decisive answers are impressive. It's all him, no writer wrote his off the cuff answers. He would be the best and most favorite professor in any Ivy league university. And Wanda? Omg. I have always loved her. She is sharp too.
Yes they would both be great politicians, co presidents or running mates.
They're both intelligent and talented, but that's why we need them to continue in their artistic mediums. Art and entertainment are really what may be keeping some of us alive.
Just wonderful❤ intelligent and funny, not often I come across that combination, thanks a lot for a real nice evening❤😂
I love her, she needs to run for President
I love her......hilarious!
Bernie & Warren 2020 !!!
Warren & Buttigieg !!!
