She’s always been above that
Kevin Hart is a massive zero anyway. Not even remotely funny or talented. Just an annoying one note bullhorn.
He SCREAMS industry plant to me. I’ve never found him funny; but he was everywhere all of a sudden. Glad she stayed away. Always been a fan of Wanda.
That was the worst roast I ever watched. It should have been one of the greats. But instead of just sticking to the normal format of the person being roasted coming out quietly they had to have him come out first and do the stuff with usher and and and and. And after that everybody sucked and wasn’t funny. I really had high hopes for this one especially after the Tom Brady roast.
She isnt wrong. I usually hate roasts as it is, but can at least appreciate when one of them is actually funny (Norm McDonald’s, for example). But the Hart roast was unapologetically terrible. Whoever booked it, which i assume was a total WME packaging exercise, did it just to stir up shit knowing it would generate a metric ton of clickbait.
She is such a great writer. Wanda Sykes FTW!
Lol, I can hear her saying that in her voice
It’s not -just- recycled racist, sexist homophobic jokes, but those are used as filler, and there is a LOT of filler in those roasts.
„I have 2 good jokes but need to stretch it out. How many different ways can I call Kevin Hart short or combine black stereotypes with a joke about Kevin Hart being short? Okay, how many minutes am I at now?“
I love the roasts but this one was just bad. There were some good moments but damn, they should have edited it way down and stuck to the typical format.
And it really got cringy once the Rock came out (was he drunk?) and got so much worse once Kevin Hart did his reply to everyone. I thought he was an awesome business man but damn, that was the worst thing I ever seen.
The roast should have been way shorter.
Shoutout to David Lucas and the writers room! Lol

Oh, and I love Wanda. Wanda, I love you.
Some of the roasts have been great. This was not one of them. I turned off after the 70th short joke. We get it, he’s short. I know the person being roasted gets to submit things they are okay with and not okay with being joked about, but my god.
The roast of James Franco was great. Jonah Hill’s on Franco’s was brilliant. Bieber’s was great. And I’m reminded of the hilarious Mike „The Situation“ attempt at comedy that was absolutely fucking hilarious… but not for the reason he intended lol.
She ain’t a sell out. She an OG and above all that bullshit.
Roasts are just weird.
That’s what comedy is….it pulls no punches and does not discriminate!
Damn I forgot all about Wanda! She used to be everywhere it seemed like.
Isn’t that her whole act?
Maybe I’ve been naive, but I am disillusioned to learn roasts now have writers. (maybe they always have, but if so, shh, don’t tell me. The old Dean Martin roasts were always big in my household when they aired)
These jokes are sexist, they are racist, and above all they are gay
Did she mean to say „homophobic“ 😭
She’s not wrong
Wanda Sykes actually has integrity
“What’s up Assy? All in the bleachers sniffing for ass”
Shane Gillis cannot read. It’s so horrible. The whole thing was pretty bad.
She’s not wrong. She isn’t funny, either. But she’s not wrong.
I havent been able to watch most roasts for years. Jeff Ross doesnt do it for me.
Conan’s Mark Twain award ceremony was exactly what i thought a proper roast should be.
If you havent seen it, it’s equal parts hero-worship and some nice roastiness. Fucking awesome
I watched the roast: Mid. I watched Nikki glasser’s new special: AWFUL. I watched Wanda’s new special: absolutely phenomenal. She is brilliant and still hilarious without punching down or leaning on old tropes. Fresh, relevant, funny.
Not. Even. Fucking. Close.
