This was my introduction to Wanda Sykes, so it's interesting revisiting it knowing that at the time she was in a straight childless marriage and is now in a same sex marriage with two children, makes some of the jokes now extra funny like the bit about how men liking seeing two women together, but she would never want to catch her husband with another man.🤣
Fun Fact - this is the original/first CC half hour special and it's so old Wanda was still in the closet and previously married to a man. It still mostly holds up for sure LOL
I love how the internet makes everything from yesterday and today all feel like it’s happening at the same time right now forever. I can see some Wanda I didn’t catch before, and love it like it’s new.
It makes want to clime thru my lappy and whisper in her ear -- "hey Wanda , in 15 years you are going to come out, marry a French woman and have 2 white kids AND BE A FRIGGIN SUPERSTAR"... I LOVE HER and everything she stands for. Still kickin it in 2024. I would love to see her impersonate KH... SHE NEVER SOLD OUT - she is authentic as she ever was. Sadly she had to hide the fact that she was gay. So happy the world is more accepting. AND IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT IT - GET OVER IT. She isn't hurting anyone - just living her life.
This is exactly why I don't accept drinks from men. They're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, it's not a gift. There's always going to be strings attached, and it's not worth it.
I love you ms Wanda but i have to disagree the dress is evidence 🙄 2 there is absolutely nothing wrong with receiving but receiving it on the job in your office and its not your wife now we have an issue

Love love love some Wanda. She is the GOAT.
To me she's the best comedian ever.
She's in my top 3

..”in the closet”…. haha welcome to 2024
Thank you, I knew something seemed off.
But you can tell when talks about her marriage 😅😅😂😝🤣😂😅 very different to how she talks about her wife now.
@@ColoringKaria And she also has kids now too LOL
@@Drewski217 WHITE kids too as she like to say! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
We saw her live last night. My face hurt from laughing so hard.
Is it just me or does Wanda here remind you of a young Pam Grier in the face?
Oooh. Now I see it 😮👍🏾👍🏾
Yes,she does!.😊
Good catch 😅
It's just you😂. Just joking. Now that you mention it, I can see it
yep! they definitely look like they come from the same folks!
Wanda is the type of talent that will be appreciated after she passes. Easily in my top 3 best comedians of all time!
Love that she eludes to South Park being Comedy Central's biggest hit back in 1998. Still true in 2024!
I love her ,she's so smart and funny ❤
Wanda is powerhouse of talent
Talented, smart , classy, and beautiful . That's a full deck of cards.
I love how the internet makes everything from yesterday and today all feel like it’s happening at the same time right now forever. I can see some Wanda I didn’t catch before, and love it like it’s new.
She has no chilll lmao I love it
That joke about Africa Robert Townsend did it in Hollywood shuffle “We going back to the motherland! Detroit?” 🤣
I love Wanda been a fan for years but I’ve never seen this one, so funny
Always loved some Wanda Sykes comedy.
I have always remembered "drinkman" but didnt know when or where i heard it so long ago, now i know!
Legendary talent!!❤
Thank you for posting!!
Needed a good laugh. Wanda is great.
Love 💕 her hair 👌🏾
She's the funniest!😂😅🤣
Very entertaining 😂😂 Wanda is a good time 💕
Been wanting to watch this for years. My favorite set of hers. ❤😂
Loooove, love, love Her. No words but 💜💜💜🌺🌹🥂
GOAT
Hilarious. Smart. Amazing. Always
She looks so pretty
I've been looking for this. Wanda at her best! She dosn't need all of the profanity she tends to use. This is clean and hilarious!
Oh. My. Gosh. I remember this ❣️
LOVE WANDA!!!❤
Oh she's good❤
She is so smart
She's great!!!
Love you for this 🎉😂😂
Love her
I LOVE HER SO MUCH
LUV U WANDA AT 73YRS❤❤❤
Fantastic comedian!!

DRINKMAN!
soooo good
nooope, no hyphen.
she is the absolute GOAT tho
I did not know Wanda was ever married to a man. 😂 Something was learned here.
DrinkMan cannot be stopped
🔥was then and still is now!!!
So funny seeing her talk about being married to a man knowing what we know now
@xenotiic8356 And the bit about not having kids.
Yeah 😂
She is the best. Just hilarious. I notice her name is listed as Wanda Sykes Hall now. So she's finally taken her married wife's name.
That name is from a previous marriage to a man. I believe this clip is from the early 2000s.
It’s from 1998.
She is the boss.
Wish she had kept that long beautiful hair
Funny! Didn't realize at first it was an old show. I just thought damn is she reverse. Aging
Yes
Look at WANDA!!
I used to say the same thing!
How old is this clip?
FUN FACT: Wanda's ex-husband of 7 years was Dave "Jam" Hall, a record producer known for his work with Mariah Carey.
It makes want to clime thru my lappy and whisper in her ear -- "hey Wanda , in 15 years you are going to come out, marry a French woman and have 2 white kids AND BE A FRIGGIN SUPERSTAR"...
I LOVE HER and everything she stands for. Still kickin it in 2024. I would love to see her impersonate KH...
SHE NEVER SOLD OUT - she is authentic as she ever was. Sadly she had to hide the fact that she was gay. So happy the world is more accepting. AND IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT IT - GET OVER IT. She isn't hurting anyone - just living her life.
PROUD LGBTQIA QUEEN! I LOVE HER!
💜💜💜
Leave it to Wanda to double down on being wrong instead of apologizing for it
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂❤
SNL needs to book Wanda to play Kamala Harris!
❤
Meanwhile, Peggy Bundy was freaking out because somebody stole her hair. 😂
😂
4:23
Haha
😂😂😂😂🎉
Most powerful man in the world?! 😅 In the US, maybe
I'm sorry to tell you but Eddie Griffin told that joke already about why Africans didn't come back for us 😬😳🤨
This is exactly why I don't accept drinks from men. They're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, it's not a gift. There's always going to be strings attached, and it's not worth it.
I might like you but let’s dance first 5:49
@@Tlebeau421I'm sorry but I don't understand your reply
We move on 😂
What happened to Hall?
@annazaman9657 She left it behind in the closet🤣
This aged well... Or NAH? 😅
She does look like Pam Grier.
Man comedy was so much better when normal people had no say or input in anything
WYM? Comedy was great then, as it is now
@@xenotiic8356 cancel culture wasn’t a thing then
Hay I remember that face back in 1982, never mind wrong one.

LIKE HER NATURAL HAIR
AFRICAN AMERICAN is totally different from AFRICAN
Ask Chimamanda
She retracted that statement
2024: That feminist joke didn't age well
Most jokes don’t thrive forever. Thank goodness
not all African roots are black? just saying...

I want to see a lady buy a guy a drink and not be in their face.. so crazy
They didn't live that long? Wanda.... Moses lived to be 120 years old. He was 80 when they left Egypt.
Just a mythical character so he can be whatever age anyone wants. 🤪
@@zajournals how do you know the person recognized as Moses did not exist? Are you clairvoyant? So you don't really know, do you? Bye Felicia.
@@zajournals might as well claim Darth Vader was a teen age girl. I mean, just because a fictional character is fictional, doesn't mean any of the defining elements of that fictional character are definite, right? Zeus was an elephant. Bugs Bunny is a vampire.

@@timmothycopeland4866 dear Felicia, because I don't have faith in the supernatural. Knowledge tells me it's a fabrication.
@@timmothycopeland4866 because it's fiction it's defined by the individual and can be any variable since no faith-based belief in the supernatural can be proven nor disproven, so it can be whatever one wants to believe.

She used to be funny, before she sold out to libral hollyweird.
She’s still an extremely accomplished comedian, great wife and mother, and upstanding human being. The nerve of her…
You hit the nail on the head. It's too bad; I always enjoyed her comedy.
And you my friend should have sold out to "Liberal" English class.. Attempting to make the conversation political when you can't even spell "liberal"!😅 SMH
You used to be funny when you knew how to spell “liberal”.
