  • Hello, and welcome to The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

  • I'm your guest host Wanda Sykes.

  • And for those of you who don't know me, I'm like Ellen but tan.

  • That's it.

  • That's the only difference.

  • Oh, and maybe, a few commas or zeros.

  • I am so excited to be here, you know.

  • This may only be my second time guest hosting, but I'm very comfortable on the stage.

  • You know, I've been around a while, and I've seen some s**t.

  • So, I thought I'd share my great life experience with all of you in a segment I'm calling: "What Do You Wanda Know?"

  • You can tell a white person came up with that.

  • White people love puns, very funny.

  • So before the show, we asked the audience what they wanted to know from me, Wanda Sykes, so I thought I could answer a few right now.

  • All right, where is Alyssa Edwards?

  • -Hello. -Hey, Alyssa.

  • Hey, so what's your question?

  • My question for you is, how do you get to know someone authentically through dating apps, especially if they're in another city or country?

  • Oh, apps, okay.

  • The only apps I've ever used are the kind that come on a little place before the entrees.

  • Okay, you know what?

  • Ask them what they want from life, and if their answer vibes with yours, then that's a good foundation to start from.

  • And if that doesn't work, you can always send nudes.

  • Okay, this next question is from Abdul Rahman.

  • -Where is Abdul Rahman? -Hi, hi.

  • Hey, did I say that right, Abdul or Rahman?

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, it's, it's good.

  • It's good.

  • You say, you know, it's close.

  • -Okay. -Yeah. -So it's Abdul Rahman?

  • Yeah, it's, it's Abdul Rahman.

  • Okay, stop right there. I got it, I got it, I got it.

  • Okay, so what's your question?

  • Well, I turned 21 last week, and I was wondering what is the advice that you would give to your 21-year-old self so I can use it.

  • Okay, well, if I could talk to myself at 21, I would say take it easy, um, on yourself.

  • You have no responsibilities, only opportunity, so be bold.

  • Also, invest in Bitcoin.

  • You're welcome.

  • Okay, so let's do one more.

  • This question is from, uh, where's Christina Faye?

  • Hi, Wanda.

  • Hi, so what's your, what's your question?

  • So, I was wondering since it's Pride Month, and my girlfriend and I are just wondering how you would respond and recommend responding to homophobic comments or remarks?

  • Okay, you see these fingers?

  • I put all of them down except for the middle one.

  • That says everything you need, and you can use it all year.

Hello, and welcome to The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
