In 1997 Wanda appeared at the Caroline’s Comedy Club on Broadway as an opening act for Chris Rock, and subsequently became a crew member of “The Chris Rock Show”. For her contribution and her work on the show with her occasional appearances, Wanda was honored with the prestigious Primetime Emmy Award in 1999, as well as with three nominations, in 1998, 2000 and 2001.

Quotes

# Quote
1 Kids get in the way of the couple. It’s hard to be a couple and then kids come and shatter that whole thing. You have to work hard to be a couple. If something happens in the night, we have to put our pajamas on like we’re volunteer firemen.
2 [on the upcoming 2016 US federal election] I think they should make everyone vote. Everyone should have to vote. Maybe everyone gets a Powerball ticket if you vote. I don’t know. Vote and you get a scratch-off.
3 If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, of you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
4 [on the Ellen Degeneres show, talking about revealing that she had breast cancer and a double mastectomy] I was like I don’t know, should I talk about it or what. How many things could I have? I’m black, then lesbian. I can’t be the poster child for everything.
5 [on Ellen: The Ellen DeGeneres Show (2003) after the passage of Proposition 8, which took away the right to gay marriage in California] Here in California, the one that’s important to me is Prop 8. What broke my heart, you know–I’m watching the news, and there were, you know, like, a lot of the black churches got together, and they were rallying, you know, they were FOR Prop 8; I’m like, come on–it’s discrimination! I mean, discrimination is discrimination. And of all people, black people should know discrimination and you’re going to vote and get discrimination in the Constitution? I mean, that’s . . . I know African-Americans, they get upset. They’re like, “Black and gay, that’s totally different things. We had it hard.” And I’m like, “Yeah, I get it. I’m black. I know. I get it”. You know. But there’s things that gay people have to go through that black people didn’t have to go through. I never had to come out black. Never had to sit my family down and tell them about my blackness. Have a little talk with my employer, let him know about my “black lifestyle”. Mom, dad, I gotta tell you something. Hope you still love me. I’m black. You know, and my mother: “Not black, Lord! Anything but black, Jesus! Anything but black! What did I do, what did I do? It was Soul Train (1971), wasn’t it? I shouldn’t have let you watch ‘Soul Train’.” “No, ma, that’s just me–I mean, I just feel like I was born black”. “No, you weren’t born black. The bible says Adam and Eve; it doesn’t say Adam and Mary J. Blige”.
