Comedy Talk: Wanda Sykes Times Two
Ask anybody who watches The New Adventures of Old Christine and they’ll tell you point blank — one of the best things about the show is comic-actress Wanda Sykes, who plays the dysfunctional, calm, straight-talking yin to Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘ character’s dysfunctional, neurotic, blubbering yang. When you get these two women and their polar-opposite personalities together, it’s always funny.
One reason why Sykes rocks her role is because she’s long been recognized by her peers and anybody else with half a brain who’s seen her perform as one of the best standup comics in the business. That’s why when she makes the rounds on the talk shows, like she’s been doing this month, it’s always a good idea to stop and watch the resulting interviews.
I’ve got two ready for sampling right here, right now. They’re daytime and nighttime appearances, sort of like Barb and Old Christine’s contrary dispositions. The first interview is from the March 12th episode of daytime’s The Ellen DeGeneres Show and the second chat is from the March 6th installment of nighttime’s Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Since DeGeneres and Ferguson are both comic-actors with tons of sitcom experience themselves, their conversations with Sykes are even more of a treat. See what I’m talking about after the jump.
