"Sykes opened her remarks by thanking the Golden Globes for having her, "because you know there's some people pissed off that a queer Black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys." She then proceeded to gently roast the category's six nominees, including Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, and Sarah Silverman. When it came to two of the nominees, however, Sykes got a bit more savage."
""Bill Maher, you give us so much," Sykes said, as the camera cut to the Real Time host. "But I would love a little less." It's unclear what, specifically, Sykes would like to see less of from Maher, who styles himself as politically moderate. But she may have been referencing his vocal opposition to gender-affirming care for minors, or his support for Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law, or his general transphobia."
At the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, Nikki Glaser delivered numerous zingers and mocked CBS's news division as "See BS News." Wanda Sykes presented the award for Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television and opened by thanking the Globes for including a queer Black woman. Sykes roasted six nominees, including Brett Goldstein, Kevin Hart, Kumail Nanjiani, and Sarah Silverman, and targeted Bill Maher with the line "But I would love a little less." The remarks may have referenced Maher's opposition to gender-affirming care for minors, support for Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law, and alleged transphobia.
