Wanda Sykes Proposes ‘Special American Idol’

Wanda Sykes was on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ on Thursday, where the comedian was asked about talk that the judges on ‘American Idol’ have been too mean. “You know, to me, nobody is forcing these people to come down there,” Sykes said. “You know, they really are. Nobody is forcing them. And sometimes you just need to be told. You know, you really – sometimes you need to crush a a few dreams. You really need to stop the, you know, stop the craziness. But I think what they should do – ’cause, you know, they’re saying that he was picking on people who were, you know, like – mentally challenged. So, what they should do is, like, how we have the Special Olympics. They should have a ‘Special American Idol’. Come on, Jay. You know you’d watch that. The ‘Special American Idol’. [Singing] ‘Ah, baby, baby.’ ‘Don’t take this. Don’t eat the microphone, sweetheart. Don’t do that. Put that down. Okay. Can somebody get him some pants, please.’”
