Wanda Sykes gave Bill Maher a shot at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards Sunday night … telling her fellow comedian to stop yapping so much.
Sykes’ slap-down occurred as she presented the award for Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on TV with Maher sitting in the star-studded crowd. The nominees were Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, Ricky Gervais, and Sarah Silverman.
The 61-year-old comic and actor said, “Shout out to the Golden Globes for having me, because you know there’s some people p***** off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys.”
She went on to call out the nominees by names, saying, “Bill Maher, you give us so much. But I would love a little less. Try less. Brett Goldstein, you’re handsome. You’ve got that great supervillain voice. You’re charming. You would’ve made a great Menendez brother.”
Sykes added, “Kevin, you know I love you. And the thing is, Kevin is the richest guy in this category. And yet, I know he wants it the most.”
“Kumail, I love that you prove male comedians can be funny without being chubby. Kumail is jacked!” she added referring to nominee Kumail Nanjiani.
Concluding with Ricky Gervais, who wasn’t at the ceremony, Wanda Sykes said, “I love you for not being here.”
“If you win, I get to accept the award on your behalf, and you’re gonna thank God, and the trans community,” she noted.
