Wanda Sykes and Jay Leno, May 27

It was Jay Leno's last Wednesday as host of the Tonight Show. Wanda Sykes was his first guest.

Rather than politics, Sykes began by talking babies.

She's the new mom of twins. Sykes and her partner, Alex, had a girl and a boy, Olivia and Lucas.

Sykes didn't give birth. Her wife did. Sykes said she was there in the delivery room and was very hands-on.

Leno said he enjoys being there for the conception.

Sykes said, "I wasn't even there for that, Jay."

Leno set up Sykes to do some Octomom jokes.

"Octomom is crazy."

Sykes said that caring for two babies was hard enough. Eight babies would be impossible. Sykes said that the "sheriff department should come in and seize her uterus," and tape it off.

Leno asked about Prop 8 and the California court's recent decision upholding it. Sykes said shes's "very disappointed." She and her partner were married before the measure so they're still married.

After the break, they talked about Sykes' controversial performance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

She said she was a little nervous, but she knows how the Obama administration operates. She calmed herself by thinking that she could could a bailout if she didn't do well.

"If I bomb, Tim Geithner will give me some money."

Leno said, "It's hard to do joke about Obama."

That always kills me. It's not hard to joke about him at all. If he weren't destroying the country, I'd find him hilarious.

Leno said he was thankful that "we have Joe Biden."

Sykes agreed. She rattled off some Biden swine flu jokes.

Leno brought up the jokes that Sykes did about Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

You remember the jokes, the ones about Limbaugh being the 20th hijacker and dying of kidney failure.

Leno never referred to the specifics of her jokes.

He asked, "Did you get much heat about it?"

Sykes responded, "I heard I did."

She said she didn't really know what was going on because the next day was Mother's Day. But friends were texting her, asking if she was OK.

A friend told her, "Somebody called you a black ----."

Sykes said, "I thought, 'Happy Mother's Day... What the hell?'"

That was it. They didn't talk much about the uproar her performance caused.

Sykes commented that "Michelle is so sweet." She said that both of the Obamas are "very genuine."

She acknowledged Leno's belief that it's hard to make jokes about Obama. Sykes noted that people dance around the race issue.

She said that journalists are always asking when we're going to see the "real Michelle."

Sykes said that means they're "waiting for Weezy to jump out." She said they're expecting Michelle to throw all of Barack's stuff out on the White House lawn.

She said that during the campaign they put rods in Michelle's neck so she couldn't do the neck swivel move.

Both Leno and Sykes spoke of missing President Bush being out of the limelight.

Sykes said, "He won't even visit. He won't even come back and give us a little taste of his dumbness."

Very nice.

On closing Gitmo, Sykes said that the president has a big problem.

"You can't let these guys just go. They're bitter. They're angry."

She suggests that instead of closing it, we need to give Gitmo an extreme makeover to get the detainees embrace America.

"Put a Gitmo Gap in there."

"Give 'em a Hooters."

"Send 'em some Wii-s. Let 'em play Wii. Wii is fun."

"Have parades with fireworks. Let them see that explosions can be fun."

Eventually, the likes of Leno and Sykes are going to have to start coming up with material about Obama.

Come on. The honeymoon is over.
