.... The comedian offered a word of advice for the Real Time host on Sunday when she took the Golden Globes stage to present the award for Best Performance in Stand‑Up Comedy on Television. In the category, Maher was up against Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, Ricky Gervais, and Sarah Silverman. Sykes had brutal jokes about each.
Theres some people pissed off that a queer black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys, Sykes said, just after praising Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser, but first I want to give them some love, she continued.
Bill Maheryou give us so much, she said, on the heels of HBOs two-season renewal of Mahers both-sides show, just in time for the Trump administration to review Netflixs acquisition of the brand. But I would love a little less, Sykes said, as the camera caught Mahers less-than-pleased facial expression. Just try less. ....
Maher did not seem amused by Sykes' shout-out....

(9,383 posts)She took shots at all the comedians in the category. She didn't single out Maher and what she said wasn't so excoriating.

If it had been too vicious a ribbing, it might not have been funny, and maybe there wouldn't have been as much laughter at Maher's expense.

(57,597 posts)First, she thanks Gervais for not being there, because if he wins, she can accept on his behalf and say, "Thank God and the trans community."
Then, sure enough, he wins, so she does as she said she would do, she says, "thank God and the trans community."

(1,989 posts)Never give an opposing celebrity who unconditionally runs his/her own platform the ratings/viewership after the fact.
And that is what Wanda did. Now people will want to tune in to see what he does to retaliate.
