Wanda Sykes is reacting to her planned appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! being canceled at the last minute.
The popular comedian, 61, was due to be interviewed by host Jimmy Kimmel on the Wednesday, September 17, episode of his hit ABC late-night talk show, however, the network pulled the program from the schedule “indefinitely” Wednesday afternoon.
In an Instagram video, Sykes said, “I’m in a full face of makeup because I was supposed to go over and have a chat with my friend Jimmy Kimmel on his show.”
“But as you have heard by now, Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been pulled indefinitely, abruptly, because of complaints from the Trump administration,” she alleged, accusing President Donald Trump of ending “freedom of speech.”
