Wanda Sykes: Moderation Is Hard!

By Delaina Dixon | February 26, 2010 | Entertainment

No, TV DivaGal doesn’t mean when it comes to calorie-counting or buying shoes (though those are a challenge!).

On The Wanda Sykes Show, comedienne Wanda Sykes has to keep a bevy of guests in line as they dissect a certain topic for the night.

“Moderate a group of people, that’s much harder,” she confesses to TV DivaGal.

“Stand up is just me. I don’t have to try to interrupt and let someone speak or say ‘Hey give that audience guy a shot!'”

Wanda’s come up with a little trick to get a guest to shut up so she can move on to the next one.

“We drink on the show, so I shake my glass a little bit,” she reveals.

“With the clinking of the ice a little bit people feel like it’s the teacher tapping the ruler on the desk. I shake that glass, and it’s ‘Uh oh, somebody messed up.'”

Let’s see if Wanda can keep the likes of Chris Rock, Ray Romano, Cheryl Hines, Colin Quinn and Eddie Izzard in line when a new episode of her show airs Saturday, Feb. 27 at 11 p.m. on Fox.
