What a great comedian would do if they were invited to a talk show? Well, they would inevitably be the great comedian as usual. Wanda Sykes, the Primetime Emmy Award-winning celebrity, did just the same when she recently appeared at the Jimmy Kimmel Live. She first got the recognition as a writer for The Chris Rock Show. After a little push from her friend, Chris Rock, she marked her name as the American comedian as well.

Staying true to her natural comic personality, the talented comedian could not stop being funny while having a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel on the show. During their conversation, Sykes made a hilarious joke about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

What did Wanda Sykes say about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard?

The entire world knows about what happened between the famous Hollywood couple. While feeling sorry for them, people were moving on from their very public breakup of marriage. However, the 59-year-old comedian brought them up at Jimmy Kimmel Live when the host asked her about her political interest. Sykes said, “Did you hear that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are having marital issues?”

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard had issues with each other, which they took to the court of law in the previous year. When Kimmel asked Sykes about her recent political views, she said she was behind all the craziness. That was when she cracked the joke about the famous now ex-couple. The Depp vs. Heard trial also became a documentary on Amazon Prime and Netflix. Once again, Wanda Sykes proved how brilliant her comedic timing was while having a casual conversation on national television.

Apart from comedy, Sykes is also famous for being a good friend. After the 2022 Oscar incident, she stood right beside Chris Rock.

As soon as Wanda Sykes heard about what happened with her friend at the 2022 Oscars, she was shattered. The comedian did not appreciate a fellow artist being treated badly by another artist. The Sick and Tired star openly condemned the act by Will Smith by saying it was sickening, while she also added that Smith should have been escorted the minute he laid his hand on Rock.

Not only Sykes, but also Jimmy Kimmel took a swing at the Bad Boys actor before hosting the 2023 Oscars. He also sided with Chris Rock and lauded the former host for keeping his calm during the 2023 Academy Awards event. And now, Wanda Sykes and Jimmy Kimmel are now talking about the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard situation.
