Күн бұрын

Wanda talks about almost missing her flight, being mistaken for Lenny Kravitz, needing to turn the news off after all the crazy stuff going on in Washington, celebrating 15 years married to her wife Alex, the impression she does of her, getting in good with her family early on in the relationship, having 14-year-old twins, starting stand-up in 1987, the craziest things that have happened during a set, and going to a Beyoncé concert.

My dad was an NSA agent who briefly worked in need of Wanda when she was there. Apparently, she was referred to as "The dragon lady" because if you gave her any forms that were not properly filled out, she would breathe fire down you. Dad needed some paperwork from her, and his solution was to just put it off and work on other things as long as he could. Finally he got word that she had quit to become "like a comedian or something" and there was no longer anything to worry about.
