The 40-year-old comedian was nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-taped) for her comedy special "Black Mitzvah." She lost the award to Dave Chappelle and his special "Sticks & Stones."

The "Girls Trip" star thanked a handful of others, including Wanda Sykes, Netflix and the Television Academy.
"I want to also point out that I know you see that I'm wearing this Wonder Woman thing, and you know why?" she said. "Because 1976-78 issue of "Wonder Woman," she had a Black sister. Her name was Nubia, I would like to play her."

"I really want to be on 'Comedians in Cars [Getting Coffee],'" she said of the comedy legend's program. "I've watched every single episode, 86 of them, and I have yet to see an African-American female comedian that happens to be Jewish on there, so have your girl on."

She added: "Even if you're out of cars, it's OK, we can use my Tesla. That's what's up."
"Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" features exactly that: Seinfeld, 66, and a famous comedian heading out to grab a cup of Joe.
