Wanda Sykes: Working With Goldie Hawn And Amy Schumer Was ‘So Much Fun’

>>> ACTOR AND PRODUCER WANDA SYKES HAS BEEN A COMEDY
POWERHOUSE FOR YEARS EVER SINCE HER WORK ON THE CHRIS ROCK SHOW
IN THE '90s AND EVEN BEFORE THAT.
AND NOW SHE'S STEALING SCENES IN THE NEW MOVIE "SNATCHED" PLAYING
AN AMERICAN TOURIST WITH A SHADY PAST IN ECUADOR WHO GIVES A
STERN WARNING TO SOME FELLOW AMERICAN TRAVELERS.
>> YOU WILL NOT STOP LAUGHING. THEY ARE PLAYED BY GOLDIE HAWN
AND AMY SCHUMER. >> ECUADOR IS A PRETTY PLACE.
NO ARGUING THAT. BUT YOU CAN'T LET YOUR GUARD
DOWN. >> THAT IS RIGHT.
THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. >> A LOT OF TERRIBLE THINGS
HAPPEN OUTSIDE THESE LITTLE GATES.
>> EXACTLY. SEE?
>> ONE IN FOUR TOURISTS IN SOUTH AMERICA ARE KIDNAPPED.
>> WHAT? INCREDIBLE.
>> NOT TRUE. >> TOTALLY TRUE.
ONE, TWO, THREE, SOMEBODY'S MISSING.
>> THAT'S LOGICAL, RIGHT? >> GOOD MORNING.
WELCOME BACK. >> THANK YOU.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS FILM. YOU AND YOUR FRIEND BARB PLAYED
BY JOAN CUSACK. YOU GO TO EXTREME LENGTHS
ESSENTIALLY TO PROTECT GOLDIE HAWN AND AMY'S CHARACTER.
TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT. DID I SET THAT UP CORRECTLY?
>> YES. I'M PRETTY MUCH JOAN CUSACK'S
CHARACTER'S HYPE MAN BECAUSE BARB SHE WAS IN SPECIAL FORCES,
IN SPECIAL OPS BUT CUT HER TONGUE OUT.
>> THAT MAKES SENSE. >> COULDN'T SHE JUST WRITE IT
DOWN? >> RIGHT, RIGHT.
SO MAYBE SHE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT OUT.
SO YES, SO WE ARE THE TRAVELERS THERE WITH THEM.
AND GOLDIE AND AMY, THEY GET KIDNAPPED AND WE GO TRY TO SAVE
THEM. >> JOAN CUSACK IS ALMOST
UNRECOGNIZABLE IN THIS MOVIE. BUT I THOUGHT THE TWO OF YOU --
THEY COULD SPIN THE TWO OF YOU OFF INTO YOUR OWN MOVIE.
BECAUSE IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS A BLAST.
WAS IT AS MUCH FUN. >> SO MUCH FUN.
SUCH A GOOD TIME. AND YOU KNOW, GETTING TO HANG
OUT WITH GOLDIE HAWN, YOU KNOW? AMY HAS ALL THIS CRAZY ENERGY.
SHE'S LIKE, LET'S GO DO A POP-UP SHOW.
SO AMY AND I WOULD GO OUT IN HONOLULU, YEAH AND GO DO
STAND-UP. AND HERE COMES GOLDIE HAWN AND
HER DAUGHTER KATE HUDSON WAS HANGING OUT WITH US.
>> DID THE PEOPLE GO CRAZY? >> YES!
SO WE'RE JUST WALKING UP, NO SECURITY OR ANYTHING.
ALL OF A SUDDEN JOAN AND I AUTOMATICALLY LIKE SLIP INTO
CHARACTER. AND WE'RE LIKE PROTECTING GOLDIE
AND KATE AND AMY. WHAT ARE WE DOING?
>> IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED, WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE
CARE OF IT? >> YES!
I WOULD HAVE HANDLED IT. >> IS THAT A REAL QUESTION?
WAIT. CAN I ASK YOU ONE THING.
HOW DO YOU PLAY A CHARACTER WITH A SHADY PAST?
THAT WOULD BE A STRETCH FOR YOU, RIGHT?
>> I'M SQUEAKY CLEAN. >> ME, TOO.O.
>> NOTHING WRONG, FOLKS. BUT WE HAD A GOOD TIME.
IT WAS NO PROBLEM PROTECTING THEM BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, IT'S
HAWAII. JUST SHAKE A TIKI TORCH AT THEM
AND THEY TAKE OFF. IT'S FINE, YEAH.
PLAY SOME HULA MUSIC. YOU BREAK UP A FIGHT.
>> YOU AND DON HO. >> EXACTLY.
>> WAS IT COOL TO HAVE GOLDIE BACK.
SHE HAS A STAR. DIDN'T REALIZE SHE DIDN'T HAVE A
STAR ON THE HOLLYWOOD WALK OF FAME.
>> I WOULD HAVE BEEN SURE SHE HAD A STAR BY NOW.
>> ALL THE RIGHT WITH THE WORLD. A COMBO.
>> IT COMES OUT RIGHT BEFORE MOTHER'S DAY.
>> PERFECT MOVIE. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS WITH
THE TWINS? >> I'M SURE IT'S THE USUAL --
I'LL GET UP AND MAKE BREAKFAST AND EVERYTHING AND THEY'LL BE SO
EXCITED TO GIVE US A GIFT THAT THEY MADE.
>> ARE THEY 8? >> YES, THEY'RE 8.
YOU HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE FAKE THING.
LOOK AT THIS BRACELET, OH, IT'S YARN.
THIS IS A NICE HEAVY YARN, TOO. LET ME JUST TAKE OFF THIS
CARTIER BRACELET AND TIE YOUR BRACELET ON.
>> THIS IS NOT, THIS IS IT? >> YOU CAN'T.
YOU CAN'T. NOT AT 8.
>> TEENAGER AGE, RIGHT? MY SON'S 15 AND HE ASKED TO GO
SEE YOUR MOVIE FOR MOTHER'S DAY. >> OH, GOOD.
>> CAN WE TALK ABOUT KURT QUICKLY?
IS KURT COMING BACK. >> THEY HAVEN'T CALLED ME.
>> LARRY DAVID, CALL HER. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THEY CAN TRY TO DO IT WITHOUT ME.
