Congrats to funny lady Wanda Sykes, who is finalizing a deal with Fox for a Saturday late-night show.
The hourlong show, slated to premiere in the fall, will succeed the recently canceled sketch comedy show “MadTV.” It will be topical, featuring a panel of recurring guests sparring over issues concerning politics as well as pop culture. Sykes will appear in field segments as well.
Thank goodness! Late night television NEEDS more women, not more Jimmy Kimmels. I ::heart:: Wanda Sykes, and I’m so excited for this!!
Will you be watching??
Jimmy Kimmel is actually funny though. I’d say late night TV needs less Jay Lenos. Christ, that guy is horrible.
I guess I’d rather watch Wanda Sykes over that hack Chelsea Handler, though. I used to wonder how in the fuck such an unfunny comedian kept that crappy show for this long… then I found out she’s screwing the VP of. E! It all makes perfect sense now.
She’s basically Dane Cook with a wig. Neither possess any real talent but they have a bunch of female fans that don’t really require their favorite comedians to actually be funny.
What? You’re crazy. Chelsea Handler is hilarious. Definitely more than you give her credit for. She’s definitely nothing like Dane Cook.
I have met Wanda a few times and I swear she deserves this!
She works hard, shes always gracious, and a real pleasure to be around.
CONGRATS WANDA YOU FUNNY ASS HO!
I don’t know, aren’t her arms a little too fat for late night?
LOL shit you may be right.
Wanda Sykes is my favorite woman ever.
Fuck Wanda!!! She is a total coward!!! I think that the gay community should completely boycott Wanda – she is a pussy!
Why though? She is out of the closet. I havent seen her in my closet for years now LOL.
She left her husband when she started to understand herself a little better.
Im interested in your point of view about this though.
how come?
didn’t she:
‘wanda sykes came out publicly in November that she was lesbian during a same-sex marriage rally regarding Proposition 8 in Las Vegas’
why the hate? what don’t we know?
spill!
yay!
more funny lesbians to primetime!
plus, the 2nd black lesbian on t.v…..represent!
sorry queen la, the cat’s BEEN out of the bag.
oh, & oprah…. the jury is still out.
lol.
I am the most excited that MadTV will be gone. One lame-excuse of a sketch comedy on network TV is enough for me, thanks.
The cat in the frog hat is amazing.
At least it’s not Kathy Griffin
LOVE this!!! Wanda is effing hilarious in my book, can’t wait!!!
Love me some Wanda Sykes! Can’t wait!
