Wanda Sykes just gave a preview of what to expect when she co-hosts the Oscars with Regina Hall and Amy Schumer this weekend. And let’s just say, tune in early if you want to see her sober.
The problem, you see, is what she’s getting paid for the gig, which the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” guessed would be around $15,000. That’s what he got when he hosted in 2017 and 2018. Sykes said that sounded in the neighborhood of what she would be getting.,” Kimmel said. “You’re getting robbed. Hold out right now, because they need hosts.”
Sykes said she probably would start drinking once the first act was in the can and “you get the big part out the way.”Cutting important categories from its live telecast and Twitter-sourcing fan favorites won’t do a beleaguered motion picture academy any favors. “Then I’m like, I’m here to have some fun,” she said. “It’s not like I’m getting paid, you know. You get what you pay for. You want sober Wanda, you’ve got to add some zeroes and move that comma. You’re getting free Wanda.”“So if you see just Amy and Regina out, you can just go, ‘Wanda’s drunk, she’s backstage,’” Sykes said.
