Sykes To Get Her Own Show
Filed under: TV News
With the cancellation of MadTV after 14 seasons, Fox is left with an empty timeslot to permanently fill.
Well, no need to look any further. They've found the perfect woman for the job!
Funny lady Wanda Sykes will be hosting her own Saturday night talkshow, The Sykes Show, on Fox.
The episodes will be an hour long and formatted similar to a panel series.
The show will also feature special clips in which it follows Wanda as she films field segments.
If it goes well, hopefully Fox will bump Sykes up to five nights a week Monday-Friday!

IT'S ABOUT TIME!
.
She's funny.
After her other epic failures "Wanda At Large" and "Wanda Does It", I'm strangely not too excited to see the next "show" this woman does.
way to go Wanda, shes awesome
Its about time you started posting more on good Black Gay role models, why do you think 70% of blacks voted for Pro8… well its not the main cause, but it is still a relevant reason why they did.
congrats. A host who's gay and black? Who is FOX trying to impress?
lol, seriously, Wanda Sykes is probably the second funniest woman in the world (behind Ellen DeGeneres, who happens to be gay also).
thank goddess…wnada sykes is on of the funniest comics around it's about damn time fox gave her another chance
YAY!!!!!!
DONT CARE…
that is so gay!
Love her! I will watch her anywhere on anything.
Yea! Super Excited for Wanda! I was terribly disappointed when Fox cancelled Wanda at Large. That show was original!
PEREZ HILTION, COME TO THE RESCUE!!!
Hi, my name is Kunoor Ojha, and I want you to come to the rescue.
Help Invisible Children, an organization committed to peace in Uganda, to stop the violence by putting your fame and influence to good use. Attend a rescue event at a city near you!
On April 25th, in thousands of cities, thousands of people will be abducting themselves to mimic the thousands of children abducted and forced to become child soldiers in Uganda.
I know that you are a person committed to doing good, as you often post worthwhile causes amid your celebrity gossip. As an avid perez reader, I know how many people you reach and that your influence is immense. I would be nothing short of thrilled if you would take time out of one day to attend a rescue event, and if you would promote Invisible Children's cause. You can find the organization's documentaries online on their website. Email back for more information.
Please attend a rescue event!

Thank you so much!!!
I give it half a season, if that.
What? This whole post you did not talk about her being gay?? Are you slipping are tired of making your own people hate your guts??
Dont like her………… to dry
Luv Luv Luv her! she is so freakin funny, cant wait to see how this is going to turn out!
i like spike feresten much better and i wish they had given him more of a chance. i'll take him anyway i can get him though.
It's about time!! She's hysterical! She's the only thing that makes Monster-in-Law somewhat tolerable.
Good for her! Wanda is hilarious…
I think That Wanda Sykes is One of the Funniest ladies on TV! Never Gotten Due Credit! Congrat's to Her!
I hope it's successful..yeah she has not had luck on tv..but you have to admit..the chick is funny..
This chick is truly talented and freakin' funny! I love her and can't wait to watch it!
Bout time. Loved her in pootie tang
I'll be watching!
Oh, yeah. I don't know about five hours a week, cuz I don't like my Wanda Sykes too thinned down. She is a comedic treasure, and even one great hour a week will probably be a better hour than most of the rest. Chants Wan-da, Wan-da…
I think she's really funny but didn't she already have a show of her own that didn't do well?
She was hilarious on her Comedy Central show so good for her, I will defintely check it out! ♥
YAY!~ lOVE lOVE lOVE Wanda Sykes!~
This may have a chance.
