Popular comedian Wanda Sykes is known for her sharp wit and hilarious performances, but in her latest statement she took a more serious tone as she urged late-night host Stephen Colbert to “go the hell off” during his final show.
The “Bad Moms” actress made the passionate plea during an interview with Breitbart, where she discussed her thoughts on Colbert’s impending departure from his long-running hit show.
“You know, Stephen Colbert is one of the funniest guys out there. He’s been making us laugh for years with his witty jokes and fearless political commentary,” Sykes said. “But now, as he approaches his final show, I want to see a different side of him. I want to see Stephen go off.”
Sykes did not hold back in her call to action, encouraging Colbert to “burn this bi*ch down” during his final episode. She stressed the importance of using his platform to speak his mind and make a powerful statement.
“I know Stephen has always been a master of satire and satire can be a powerful tool. But sometimes, you just need to let your emotions out and speak from the heart,” Sykes explained. “This is not just another show, this is his final show. And I believe he has the responsibility to use this moment to make a statement, to stand up for what he believes in and not hold back.”
Colbert’s show has been a staple of late-night television for over a decade, and his unique blend of humor and political commentary has made him a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. Sykes believes that he has the power to make a lasting impact with his final episode.
“He has the biggest platform right now and he has the attention of millions. He can inspire and motivate people to make a change, to speak up and to stand up for what is right,” Sykes said. “We are living in a time where speaking out and using our voices is more important than ever. And I believe Stephen can make a difference.”
Sykes, who is known for her own bold and outspoken humor, also shared her admiration for Colbert’s style of comedy and encouraged him to continue using it in his final show.
“Stephen has a unique ability to make us laugh while also making us think. I think that’s what has made his show so successful for so long,” she said. “And in his final show, I hope to see him use that ability to its full potential. To make us laugh, but also to make us think and to ultimately make a statement.”
As the entertainment world eagerly awaits Colbert’s final show, it is clear that he has the support and encouragement of one of the most talented and respected comedians in the industry. Sykes’ passionate words undoubtedly serve as a reminder to the late-night host that he has the power to make a huge impact with his final performance.
“So, Stephen, my message to you is this – don’t hold back, don’t play it safe. Let your voice be heard and let your message be clear. Burn this bi*ch down,” Sykes concluded.
It is safe to say that Colbert’s final show is highly anticipated and with the words of Wanda Sykes ringing in his ears, it is sure to be an unforgettable and powerful evening of comedy and commentary. Let’s see what Stephen Colbert has in store for us as he bids farewell to his iconic show.
