The imperative

We're back with the one and only Wanda Sykes.

Present continuous

You're starring in a new movie called Undercard, which I said set in the world of boxing, your dramatic debut.

Did you feel differently about doing drama?

Because I've done drama in the past, and I find it upsetting.

But, you know, we know something's working or not, because, you know, from the laughs, that's how.

They laugh, and we go, okay, yeah, this is working.

But I noticed after the first day, the crew.

But after, you know, they were, like, watching, watching.

And then the second day, they were, like, just really more attentive.

It's like after the first day, they saw me and it was like, oh, this bitch ain't playing.

I believe you have the clip of my character.

Cheryl is trying to reach out to her son that she gave up when he was very young.

This was the best black hotel in all of Florida.

Ali was good enough to fight Miami beach, but he wasn't good enough to stay there at night.

So he and Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Sammy Davis Jr.

You have the potential to do the same as the greats, or you could end up like this building and the people who run these streets.

Last time you were here, you had just come back from Egypt and it was too hot for you over there.

This was shot in Puerto Rico in the summer.

And all my wardrobe, it felt like the thickest material they could find.

I mean, one time they had to, like, take a pause and just ice me down.

I was so happy at a casino and, you know, and the people there are beautiful.

I mean, I. I didn't see one ugly Puerto Rican.

And Wanda, thank you so much for being here.

Undercard will be available on demand, March 27th.

Tickets to her, please and thank you comedy tour are available now.
