Wanda Sykes is so funny! I love that she uses the same imitation for her kids as she does for her wife!

[bubblesezblonde]

WANDA!!!! I wish she was available to take over the Daily Show....nice interview.

[brownkemosabe]

Thank you Seth and team for playing a Blues introduction for Wanda! She's as kickass and bluesy as they come!!!!

[LizzyMcD]

Seth have convos not interviews with his guests and it’s amazing

[NastyHudson]

You can take anything Wanda Sykes says to the bank. ❤️

[kinsmed]

Devastating. Wanda makes me laugh out loud, and I'm a tough crowd.
And is she getting younger? She hasn't visibly aged in 30 years.

[Caligirl]

I have been a HUGE fan of Wanda's forever... LOVE HER❤She is laugh out loud funny!

[mariavm]

Wanda, you're a national treasure!!

[pierrelalonde]

She is so cool!! French is a beautiful language.

[Amy-krtc]

Been following Wanda for a long ass time! She’s so solid and so funny.

I want to age like Wanda Sykes. She just gets more beautiful, youthful, and glowing over the years 😍. And always humorous 😂.

[di]

Shes the best -- her stand up leave me in stitches😂

[philippapay]

I love Wanda Sykes. I just realized I missed Seth's Thanksgiving show with his parents and brother this year. I'll have to find it.

[adolphesax]

I love Wanda Sykes but her best interviews were with Ellen at The Ellen Show. Those two were hilarious together.

[KathrynTanner-tf]

Why I prefer Thanksgiving alone. I have a very small family and they all live very far away. I do get invitations to join other groups, but you have just confirmed my fear about being a "stray." I KNEW that's the way they looked at it!

[dennisfarris]

Love rhat the impression children smoke as they gesture.

[ronaldmallette]

Got my tickets to see her live! Kingston, here we come....

[theblackenedphoenix]

I heard the best clap back recently about watching people play video games. He said “You watch other people play sports, right?”

[hereigoagain]

Do hosts actually get paid when Wanda is a guest? She is one of the most naturally funny people on earth.
