Wanda Sykes had the audience in stitches during her recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. The bold and hilarious comedian, currently starring in her own show called Wanda at Large on Fox, took on the persona of the one and only Oprah Winfrey. Wanda’s entrance alone had everyone laughing, as she pulled out a wad of cash and proclaimed it as her “pocket change”.
As Ellen and the audience erupted in laughter, Wanda continued to entertain with her witty banter and comedic timing. She joked about Oprah deserving her own island and even hilariously impersonated Dr. Phil, making the entire studio roar with laughter. Clearly, Wanda knows how to keep an audience entertained.
When asked about her love for Halloween, Wanda shared her childhood experiences of not having the best costumes. She reminisced about the cheap plastic masks without any holes for the nose, making it hard to breathe. However, living in New York City changed her perspective on the holiday. The city goes all out for Halloween, and Wanda even joked about how it would be the perfect time for a prison breakout.
Wanda also touched on the tradition of giving out candy on Halloween. As a child, she loved getting full-sized candy bars, so now as an adult living in the Hills, she wants to do the same. However, with fewer trick-or-treaters in her neighborhood, she quipped that the lucky kids who make it to her house might receive Gatorade and a towel instead.
Ellen and Wanda also discussed the joy of watching children trick-or-treat. Wanda reminisced about her upbringing in New Orleans, where costumes and dressing up were a regular occurrence. She now joins friends and their children on Halloween, but she assures everyone that she’s not lurking in the corner, as it may have initially sounded.
Wanda’s wit and humor continued throughout the interview, making it clear why her show, Wanda at Large, is a must-watch. The comedian expressed the challenges of being on Friday nights, but she urged viewers to give the show a chance, promising that it’s worth it and suggesting viewers utilize their VCRs to record it if necessary.
As the interview wrapped up, Ellen proposed a trip to a haunted house. Wanda hesitated at first, but agreed to go. Little did they know the frightful experience they were about to embark on. From haunted dolls to creepy dancers to an eerie Iggy Pop look-alike, the haunted house had both Wanda and Ellen shrieking and laughing.
Wanda Sykes proved once again why she is a comedic force to be reckoned with. Her appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show was filled with laughter, entertaining stories, and a thrilling trip through a haunted house.
