Wanda Sykes and the mosquito man | The Graham Norton Show - BBC

Wanda Sykes jokes that where she grew up, the kids would get excited with the mosquito man turned up to spray deet in her neighbourhood, running behind the van like he was the ice-cream man.

With Graham are Hollywood great Jodie Foster, starring in the latest season of TV drama True Detective: Night Country, Oscar winner Olivia Colman, talking about her new mystery comedy Wicked Little Letters, US comedy great Wanda Sykes, whose new Netflix special is Wanda Sykes: I'm an Entertainer, doyenne of British TV Lorraine Kelly, discussing her debut novel The Island Swimmer, and Austin Butler and Josh Brolin, two of the stars of new sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two. Plus music from Calvin Harris and Rag 'n' Bone Man, in a world-exclusive performance of their new single Lovers in a Past Life.

That's legit. My dad was a mosquito man in Florida in the 70's. He has told me stories about the children coming out and playing behind the fog trucks.

Same here. Been there & done that. Still alive 60 yrs later. 😅

What? WTH. Never heard this was some kind of entertainment. Playing in bug spray! 😂😅. Funniest story ever

Exactly! This was "magical" fog. Total Poison...we did NOT have any inkling (or care!!!).

Ahhh simpler times. I wonder if my life would be better if I’d have been an adult back then instead of now. Then I could just finally die now and say I don’t want to see anymore of this crap.
