JAY LENO: You mentioned Trump. What do you make of all this nonsense over the birth certificate? It's hilarious.
WANDA SYKES: It's hilarious, and it's ridiculous. Like, what? Really? I'm sorry, I think the whole... I'm really disappointed in him because you would think that he would know better but it's, it all just drips with racism. You know? Because how many presidents or any politician has had their nationality questioned like this?
It's like, 'How did we get this black president? He must be from somewhere else. Where's he from?'
You know? And it's like, well, if you say it's racist, they go, 'No, no, no. It's not racist. His father's Kenyan.'
Yeah, but he was born here. He was born here. Hawaii is a state, you know.
...And then you have, you know, then they say, 'Well, he has a funny name.' You know? Barack Obama. There's been white guys with funny names. Newt Gingrich. What the hell is a Newt Gingrich? Oh, no, that's acceptable. Where was Newt Gingrich born? Atlantis? What the hell?
Ron Paul. Ron Paul what? You got two first names. Ron Paul what? What are you hiding, Ron Paul? What are you - Ron Paul Hitler? What's your name? What's your name? Really?
LENO: Have you watched Celebrity Apprentice? Do you watch any of those shows?
SYKES: And that's another thing, because this was the first season of Celebrity Apprentice that I was watching and enjoying, and then Trump just went all stupid. So I can't look at his dumb face. I can't watch. So I stopped watching the show. He ruins everything.
