  • We chop it up with the legendary Wanda Sykes and talk stand-up comedy, why we're not getting another "Pootie Tang," working with Larry David, brands doing too much for Pride Month, Season 2 of "The Upshaws," having kids, the infamous Will Smith slap at the Oscars and being friends with Chris Rock, and never retiring.

    The sailor you were referring to at Pearl Harbor was Doris Miller. Doris Miller was a United States Navy cook third class who was killed in action during World War II. He was the first black American to be awarded the Navy Cross, the highest decoration for valor in combat after the Medal of Honor

    Whether a porn star or Bernie Sanders. How bout a Desus & Chet challenge? Or Rihanna & Rocky show up & hear Mero’s advice? I’d like Pete Davidson to stop by & leave Kim behind & if Eric Adam’s everywhere, w
