Wanda Sykes appears on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Monday, February 2, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans television, stand-up, awards, and family life.
Sykes reflects on the season that brings The Upshaws to a close and says the bond among the cast will remain. She discusses her time at the Golden Globes, her work as a DJ, and a recent honor voted on by peers. Sykes explains why the moment carried weight when Jane Fonda presented the award.
The comedian also shares her views on the Met Gala and outlines an idea for a cookout-based theme tied to the event.
During the interview, Sykes talks about parenting as her children begin to drive and recalls the first time they attended one of her stand-up shows. She says she is preparing for her next comedy special, which she plans to host at Hampton University, where she studied.
Sykes also reveals plans beyond comedy. She discusses taking on a role centered on drama, her training in boxing for the project, and her decision to move into this phase of her work.
The appearance marks another public stop for Sykes as she balances television, stand-up and screen work while expanding the scope of her career.
