That line about how she felt her ancestors looking at her . . .
I had to pause the clip to get my breathing back under control.
So good!
Been there with my kid and can so relate!
SIDE eye!
Wanda tells it like it is not. She is wrong. This is NOW OPEN to DEMOCRACY . THIS DOES NOT OUTLAW ABORTION. It is to be decided in the states. This is not religious. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hated Roe V. Wade . She believe it should be done away with IN FAVOR OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CRAP. Obviously, she supported rights to abort unborn children. Research it Roe V. Wade was weak and ineffective-that is why it was struck down. For the overwhelming majority of people in the country-nothing will change. The Left is serving a 15 course meal of lies and misinformation right now because they have destroyed this nation and their credibility and they are hoping to win back some power through emotional manipulation.
@@kalvint5898 GTFOH! Your comment has NOTHING to do with mine. Why leave it as a reply to me?
"I entertain all the people who live in my head and they're killing too."🤣
When they begin to become irritated RUN!
..... I'm killing up there ....
Wanda is awesome for openly talking about hot flashes!!! Queen.
Such a legend.
I’m 60, and all the women I know who’ve gone through menopause had absolutely zero problem telling us about it…lol
And yes… she’s a queen…
Go menopausal sister!
Damn right!
Omg! So glad to hear from a legend that I'm not alone with the people in my head!
I love how she straight-up reprimanded Stephen
Wanda Sykes is pretty smart - I was surprised that she didn't tag him when he implied that COVID was over.
He was trying to help her with the hot flash moment when he moved the tissues. It was a gesture of kindness and minimal risk since they're both vaccinated. Chill people.
@@RobinaB530 , I'm just saying that it was a good comic bit on her part. He was a 2nd City improviser, so I'm sure he appreciates how she was able to find-the-fun in that moment. We all know that their risk is minimum so it's HILARIOUS that she took a shot at him. That's all I'm saying: Wanda is quick on her feet like that!
Yeah, but it was a caring reprimand. Making sure he would be careful and not just with her. I hope he can look and see it although I'm sure it stung a little.....they always do.
LOL. It was okay to hold hands and kiss and talk 10 mins without the distance but a tissue is bad ? Also, that is kind of why vax = good. You dont go to the hospital.
The french laugh for different things and for the wrong reasons 🤣🤣 truer words have never been spoken before
😂
YES! I was so happy to hear her say that!
A group of friends and I went to see Easy Rider at a Paris theater in 1971. We were rolling at Dennis Hopper's line "I always wanted to try Porky Pig," but the French audience wasn't laughing. Then I checked the subtitles; his reply was translated to "I'd like to try a pig." Then they were howling with laughter while we sat silent, wondering what they were laughing about.
I've been telling that story for all these years and I've suspected that no one ever believed me.
I think I'll send this to all the friends I had at that time with one simple word: "Vindication!!!"
i love it !! and i m french !
😀
Thank you soooo much for having Wanda Sykes on, she's an absolute gem!!!!
Yes.. She sure is a jem
Absolute Flop
I’m loving her hair
Me too!
Yes!
Yes!!!
It's defying gravity. Beautiful! ❤️
I was thinking the same. and her makeup is also pretty Looking good miss Wanda!
Lordy,, but I love Wanda Sykes. It’s hilarious when she talks about her French family.
She does it so well 😂
But it’s sooo true ! We are like that 😂😘
She's so weird, so when she tells us they're weird, I wonder if they are in fact normal, just being weird to her, or they're super freaks
@@frenchtoast7742 I have a dear friend who is a male ‘Bernard’ he is an older French man. What joy he brings when he speaks. So animated and smoking is on point
I love Wanda and she gets better looking every day.
She did look amazing!
Love Wanda's Hair !
LOOOVE her hair 🥰 african american women are so lucky 😁💚✌
Being inoculated means you won’t die… It doesn’t mean you won’t get sick!!! Still be careful y’all! THANK YOU WANDA😂😂
It means you are much less likely to die.
We're all dying already anyway. right now.😏
We have the VEGA Variant from India in the US now as well the UK Variant. Wanda is right, the vaccinated can still get sick but probably not die. Wear a mask because there's too many unvaccinated anti-vaxers out there !
@@elainegoad9777 Exactly!
Yes! Stephen did not handle that well. I love him, but he has really been pushing the vaccine and I think his sponsors may not appreciate that comment from Wanda 😜
'I've been entertaining to all the people in my head." YUP!!
I’m french and I think she is hilarious 😂😂
apparently her wife thinks so too...haha!
Man, I love her, one of the funniest women ever, haha. Don't forget about New Adventures of Old Christine! Her and Julia are freaking hysterical on that show.
That was such an underrated show that ended too soon. I loved those two in that.
@@juliakay6204 I never even knew about it somehow until this year, but been watching it almost every day. It's really funny.
Oh mannnn one of the best/FUNNIEST shows everrrrrr!!!!
I wish to meet the producers of that show to ask them what in Gods name made them stop that show??!! I'm now left with rubbish like 2 broke Girls......?
@@ibeezisi3847 for real!!! Oh no that show sucks lol I’d never watch that! 😂
Gurrrl she buying crickets that ain’t Wanda!😭😭😭😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
We don't have to babysit the president anymore! Well said Wanda
So true.
bc his staff babysits him for us
@Joséf from TX Prove he has dementia, stupid.
@Joséf from TX Saying, "Listen to him speak" regarding a lifelong gaffe-prone man with a stutter isn't proof. Where's your PROOF of this idiocy? If I said Donald Trump has Alzheimer's because you can "listen to him speak", that wouldn't prove Alzheimer's.
Again, where is the PROOF?
My 10 year old daughter is a huge fan of Wanda. She makes her smile and laugh so much. Wandas' therapy of laughter is a blessings. Thank you for all you do Wanda Sykes.
What a hilarious and intelligent woman, luv her
Idk about intelligent, she's weird, but definitely funny
My old roommates are Warner bros security.... They're really professional about not talking trash about celebrity jerk antics... They've seen it all though.... Instead they tell stories about the stars that are extra awesome... They've got some great things to say about how cool this lady is
Agreed. I work in a theatre arts complex and have seen her several times. Funny as hell on or off stage!👍😂
Amen❤️❤️Y’all are so blessed
GOD BLESS MISS WANDA!!! Making Hot Flashes cool.
#normalizehotflashes
I can say indubitably that those things are not pleasant. A feeling of unease encroaches and then the fires of Hell spread across my scalp and whole upper body. Wanda handled it with panache. I couldn't make them look cool if my life depended on it.
I came looking for my "ladies of a certain age ", lol. I work with a crew of people in their 20s...I am in and out of layers (a/c) and muttering "marshmallows "...because I'm roasting, lol. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself
I'm 36 and have suffered all my life lol. I freeze my bf out all the time I'm just like my mom. I FINALLY became a mom last May and holy hell I felt like I resided in the pits of HELL.
@@armygirl85fuckhitler74 Congratulations on your baby...i was a stick skinny girl and until I got pregnant and was breastfeeding, I froze, always cold and those couple winters I wasn't. No I'm menopausal and I am in and out of my layers, and muttering about "roasting marshmallows ". Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself.
I'm with her, I'm glad we don't have to put up with tantrums!
You mean Tantrumps maybe 👀. So glad he can now talk to walls. Mar-a-Lago walls.
I'm also with her on her level of covid precautions. Yes, we're vaccinated but don't touch me or come near me.
Props to Wanda for keeping him in line with science. I know he was being a good host, and I love him for it. But her publically saying that about how you can still get sick hopefully educated people. I've been shouting it but I have an audience of basically zero lol.
they've kissed on the cheek. calm down haha
@@dontletmetell yeah exactly. i thought i was the only person who noticed that.
chill yourself.
The rare, the **very** times when someone genuinely 'gets sick' from a jab is nothing to getting covid and ending up in hospital (and dying).
The two simply do not compare.
She never mentioned a single scientific fact, what are you on about? All she did was get scared FOR him, about germs
We got a house full of geckos... I did not realize they were "pets". Just part of jungle life in the Philippines ha ha 😎
😂😂😂😂😂 right? It a normal thing in Nigeria too. I haven't seen a gecko since I moved to America tho. I hate geckos. Now I have to deal with American lizards that look like snakes with tiny legs.
Here in Egypt too, there's the occasional gecko running around the home at least once a year.
Haha my son has been begging me for a gecko for like 8 years now. He's now 16 and I still don't trust him to take care of a living thing. I had a leopard gecko when I was 17 and having to have crickets to feed it was such a hassle and I just don't want it. Lol
Lol...same here in the Caribbean... those critters are noisy as feck! KAK-KAK-KAK-KAK 😆😆😆😆
@@enriqueali Yes! 😂😂😂 I hadn’t noticed that I missed hearing them until I moved back to 🇵🇦
Wanda Sykes, man she is funny. I wish she could have been on longer. When she is killing it nobody is better.
"I feel like I don't have to babysit the President".
AMEN
Yes! An adult in the house!
The fear for the future isn't gone, but the immediate danger is finally over.
@@waterbaby8360 not really , not with half the country believing the big lie. willing to throw democracy out the window for a "win". they're hard at work in their machinations to make "the big steal" happen with all their voting restrictions being passed into law at the state level.
@@Hobodeluxe960 .......emphasis on Immediate.
@Love and Tennessee What a surprise - you're from Tennessee. Ranked # 33 on being actually educated.
The irony that in the middle of her telling the gecko story/buying crickets ‘a Geico commercial interrupts’. #priceless
“I could just feel my ancestors just looking at me like” 😂🤣
Why would her ancestors care if she was buying crickets
Go Wanda!
Big big hug to Wanda Spikes!
i love how stephen seems both more energized and more relaxed as an interviewer now than even before the pandemic
Wanda is one of the greatest comedy geniuses ever! She is so real and relatable!
Wanda is a whole mood. Love her
Damn girl, "we don't have to babysit the "ego-ramus"" -- Damn right! Thx Wanda for being real, always!
Best quote, “ We don’t have to babysit the President .” Crack me up! Term limits would help immensely, get McConnell OUT!
Death will take McConnell long before the Senate votes for term limits. And frankly, this new crop of "Republicans" is worse than the old lot.
Getting rid of Gerrymandering and the Senate filibuster will do more stop gridlock than term limits.
So you think an elder with dementia needs no supervision? A true democrat
@@judidaniels8049 You sound like someone with dementia.
@@plaidpanda 😂🤣😅
Wanda Sykes always makes me laugh.
shes spot on about getting sick even with the shot. listen to her stephen.
The alternative is much worse. A ventilator is more constricting than a 😷 mask.
Boo she's not spot on, she never said a single fact, she just got worried about him touching germs, he has sanitiser in his desk (even before civid, for guests), is a few germs, people need germs so you learn to deal with them. That's why everyone's so weak nowadays because they're permanently disinfecting their entire bodies, so when you might not get sick once, but then when you do it's much worse. Obviously in not saying walk into a stagnant water with open wounds, or don't disinfect your foot when you stand on a rusty nail, but people need to toughen themselves up a bit too be healthier in the long term
"I don't have to babysit the president right now" XD Girl, same! I don't open my phone with a sense of dread anymore, expecting to see some horrific headline about injecting bleach or "very fine people" or WWIII getting declared!
Harleen-yeah and the fact that George Washington took over the airports. I bet we didn't know that one either
I think that the world is more relaxed now in general 🤣
Wanda is so stinking cute!!
Useless? A gecko can sell insurance better than most salesmen.
They also eat "pest" bugs
They cute!
🤣🤣🤣
They got that cool Brit accent going on too
true that
Longer interviews with Wanda next time! Love her!
I have always thought that Wanda Sykes is beautiful. I saw her way back in the day do stand up comedy before she got famous. And sees my all time favorite comedian female.
No woman is hilarious like Wanda Sykes.
Wanda Sykes, ur killing me. 💖
I love Wanda Sykes 😆 she is so funny .
Wanda I returned home one day to find a seven foot Python in a tank in the middle of my living room, no joke, my son offered to adopt a snake, your son can have it if he wants, I’ll throw in the mice snake lunch…
🤣🤣🤣
LOVE WANDA SYKES!!! 😍
_We don't have to babysit the president_
🤣 That UK blimp of him on diapers comes to mind
i love this woman , i m smiling before she even open her mouth !!
Totally relate to having to babysit the disgraced ex president. It seemed important to keep an eye on him.
As a non-american it was breakfast reading each and every day just to see what idiocy that imbecile got up to over the previous day. Rarely were we left with nothing to read.
I thought the EXACT same thing. Who with a nuke did he challenge, threaten or offend today? Thank god his crazy ass is gone.
It’s nice to not worry what president is up to every damn day.
It took up a lot of time, didn't it?
The current president may need his diapers changed pretty soon, so yeah, there's that.
Wanda Sykes is a national treasure.
I LOVE Wanda's new hairstyle! She's one of the best comedians ever. She shouldn't complain about her kid's gekkos though; a puppy is far more work and expense..
I just adore Her 😆😆😆😆
"We don't have to babysit the president" so true thats what i feel too, i wake up in the morning first thing i do is check the news, thinking what did he do now
Me too.... I always expected the worst each morning. I don’t even think about the President any more.
It's such a relief!
He honestly traumatized us
exactly
Ditto! What a relief.
Wanda's right, she says what women are thinking. Thank God.
Ok, Wanda Sykes was talking about her son's gecko, and then TH-cam cut to a Geico ad. I'm deddd💀😂
I wanna see her version of Wandavision.
I for one was let down because it had nothing to do her.
When Wanda talks about her French family it is my favorite comedy.
Adore Wanda Sykes! The Upshaws is funny!
She was funny as hell in pootie tang. That movie never gets old. She's just an all around hilarious woman. Love her!
Yesss!!! I just watched it and I LOVVVE her in it !! 😭🤣😂😂 little Kim vibes hahhahah
Yup... her wife & kids are sooo lucky to have her!!! 🥰 I love her!
Wanda looks beautiful, and that blouse! Love it!
She’s a legend. So funny and sassy!
Life is so much better with Wanda Sykes in it!
Lest we forget The Late Show!
Always spectacular to see Wanda and Stephen in an interview together ! 👌🙇♀️👏👏
Love Wanda Sykes so much! That hot flash! Telling Stephen to not touch her sweaty tissue! 😂😂😂
Aww Stephen Colbert is such a sweetheart 🥰
Can we please have more of Wanda Sykes?
Wanda with a hot flash! Love it! 🤣
Underrated comedian!
She is one of THE best comedians around. I’d hate to see her give up stand-up but I’d love for her to have a late night talk show.
I know Stephen is ridiculously happy to be back with the audience, maybe he and Evie could gift us with a one a week at home show. Both kinds of shows each have their own special aspect 💛
Also Wanda Sykes is a national treasure. Who remembers her commercial in the diner? 🤭
I thought the same but we need to move on. He's happy, and we wouldn't have stuff like he and Christine singing sondheim if they weren't back. I think we should let him be happy. Even though the audience chuckles are annoying
it is great to see him back live but i just loved the onscreen chemistry between him and elvie in there house
Maybe a once a week show quarantine style, the rest of the week their regularly scheduled program 😁
“Don’t touch my sweaty napkin!”
_Wipes entire desk with said sweaty napkin._
This was so funny. She asked Stephen if the audience was good then she wiped the desk with her sweat. She needs to start carrying a fan with her . I have one in every purse I carry and by my nightstand because when that “personal summer “ comes over you, you need to cool down fast.
why is this the funniest interview I've ever seen though 😂
Wanda is a treasure! 🥰 so smart..bring it on Wanda!!!!!!
Wanda Sikes will always be one of my favorites, she is so smart and clever with her jokes!
I adore Wanda to no end!
Wonderful Wanda. But if you’re doing a show about an average midwestern family, make sure that you don’t turn into Roseanne. Because that would be a national tragedy.
Won't happen. First of all, Wanda is too aware of who she is and where she comes from for that to occur. And she does not have the emotional damage that Roseanne exhibits. Or if she does, she handles it well.
agree!!
Yeah, I think that would be highly improbable.
What network is Wanda on ?
@@cindycarroll4866 Netflix
Wanda, you are wonderful... You are Wanderful. Okay, that was bad. The energy and enthusiasm you put into everything is always a joy to watch. And I often said you'd have made a good president. See how she shot down Steven about being inoculated? Now imagine that sensibility with the football. It's comforting.
I love Wanda! She’s great!
Wanda, honey, let those geckos out of their cage and you'll discover that they absolutely do have a purpose. You won't ever see another cockroach... at least not before they do.
Yep. No poisons.
Ya…but I live in Hawaii….geckos inside mean gecko shit all over your kitchen, window ledges and sliding down windows, they get rolled up in your blinds and stank when they die, they carry salmonella, I still got roaches, and they won’t touch the blister beetles….
I got a bounty on inside geckos, they get one chance to leave quietly then they toast…
@@bigl6322 Lol@1 chance to leave quietly.
The answer I'd expect to hear from Wanda Sykes, on any question about snakes, would be "i don't trust any animal thats got no damn legs!"
I always want a double-segment of Wanda 😍
Wanda said she let her son get two geckos & immediately after she uttered those words I got a Geico ad 🤣
Stephen, dear... I know you _want_ the pandemic to be over, but it is not _over_ . You are safer with your vaccination, as Wanda pointed out... but relaxed restrictions and improving infection and hospitalization numbers means things are getting _better_ in the US.... it does *not* mean the pandemic is over yet.
Nope! To eaches own but not safer. I have witnessed ppl still getting covid and health problems after the shot. Nope and nope
@@raemariaa True, breakthrough infections can occur since it's not 100% effective. But we're still way less likely to die of covid after vaccination. Even with occasional issues linked to the shot, I feel those improved odds were the right choice for me. ✌
@@heatherm2140 I disagree! If you want to get vaccinated because you believe that, then that's your choice. They have not studied that vaccination long enough to be putting it in people bodies and now all these health complications occurring because of it. I choose not to be a human experiment and believe everything that is said. That's like going in blind. Actually it is going in blind. Media will tell you anything. You think they'll tell you if people died from the shot and how many? Of course not! I choose not to be manipulated. But hey to eaches own, you go for it doll. Power to you!
@@heatherm2140 I have come in contact with 4 people on different occasions and surprisingly I did not get sick. Lived with some who had covid, she got the shot and was on her death bed still. Soooo I mean you just gotta do what you think is right for you. But genuinely I hope you stay safe out there ❤🥰
Love 💖 Wanda looks fab 👍
She makes me laugh so much so funny 🤣
It is refreshing to wake up without worrying about what stupid 'thoughts' our 'leader' tweeted during an overnight Adderall shit session. Sleep is good!
I don't even read the rest of the sentence when I see Wanda Sykes on YT. I simply click. Upshaws is funny af. Glad netflix renewed for season 2!
Huge Wanda Sykes fan; looking forward to watching The Upshaws.
Love her 😂
_"If the thing have feet, it's good.."_ 🤣🤣
Legendary guest.
I genuinely Love This woman's personality
If my life was narrated, I would want 90% of it narrated by Neil deGrasse Tyson to cover the Logical, Ordered, Rational parts of my life.... That last 10%, the Crazy, Emotional, F'ed Up parts of my life.... Yeah, I want that narrated by Wanda Sykes....
I may end up hearing that in quiet moments, those voices, lol. Thanks for the giggle...perfect. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other and yourself
My life has been more f’ed up than rational so Wanda would have her work cut out for her! But thanks for the idea and now I just really want the commentary😂
This is brilliant! 😂
Only 10%? You must be boring
I'd need a 50/50 for accuracy
There’s a couple in my mom’s neighbourhood who each walk around with a snake around their necks. Hers is a corn snake and his is cobra. He goes shirtless in any weather and she wears a black leather vest and tank top. They walk by twice a day as they take the snakes fishing with them.
I❤️Wanda.
I love when Wanda talks about her white French family. It's her best material.
OMG I know how she feels! Nothing like talking to someone and you feel your head and body are on fire! 🙄🙄🤪
Of course it's Wanda Sykes who has sensibilities when it comes to COVID protocols still 👸
Is the the new hair cut or did Wanda Sykes get a decade younger during quarantine?! Gahd she’s funny.
HAHA Wanda Sykes story about her son having a Gecko and she buy crickets in a pet store and the Gecko ad just came on! Synchronicity, my middle name.
Appalled that Stephen actually said, “Now that the pandemic is over…” !! He needs to correct this on tonight’s show!! So far from the truth, what the heck was he even thinking??
There is a perception throughout the US that it is, no mask wearing and partying all over.
Look at what’s happening right now in the Uk and be very afraid.
The pandemic was never over despite mass vaccination higher in the uk than Us , as for poor India and Brazil etc. No the Pandemic is not over.
Here in NYC, for all intents and purposes, it is over. Most people are vaccinated, most people are still wearing masks, there are very few cases and most restrictions have been lifted. It's not the old normal, but we're not sanitizing our groceries any more either.
Everybody knows the pandemic ended the day Biden took office.
Pandemic is not over, really❤️🇨🇦❤️'specially south of us!
@@TheBusyJane did you do as I said and look what’s happening in the UK? 88% of population have had the 1st vaccination and 68% the second , much higher than the the US and figures are climbing steeply. Also mask wearing was always better in uk, it wasn’t politicised.
I remember a time when Wanda was on TV a lot, Here and There.
It's good to see her getting regular work again.
"I don't have to babysit the President anymore". Amen Wanda! If we could only get him to just go away and be quiet.
