Love Quote by Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes lands this like a friendly jab that still draws blood: affection first, then the knife twist. “I love Costas” opens as a warm endorsement, the kind you say to reassure the room you’re not starting a feud. Then comes the comic complication: “He’s knows too much.” The ungrammatical stumble (“He’s knows”) reads less like a mistake and more like spoken-speed authenticity, the line as it would actually come out mid-riff. It keeps the moment casual while the implication is anything but.

Sykes is needling Bob Costas’s reputation as the guy who can’t resist turning a sports segment into a seminar. “Knows too much” isn’t really about intelligence; it’s about surplus. Too many facts, too much context, too much authority for a medium built on vibes, highlights, and quick takes. The joke works because it frames expertise as a social inconvenience. In sports media, knowing more than the moment requires can feel like showing up to a cookout with a PowerPoint.

The tag, “but he’s a good guy,” is classic Sykes misdirection and release valve. It signals, I’m teasing, not attacking, while also underlining the critique: being “good” doesn’t make you less exhausting. Underneath, she’s clocking a cultural tension that’s only grown louder - the suspicion that articulate, well-informed men are smuggling seriousness into spaces people want to keep lightweight. Sykes turns that anxiety into an insult you can laugh at and still recognize as true.
