It's Time for 'The Wanda Sykes Show'

Emmy-winning New Adventures of Old Christine star Wanda Sykes has a brand-new self-titled late-night talk show launching on Fox at 11pm ET on Saturday, November 7.

Billed as “irreverent,” The Wanda Sykes Show is a weekly hourlong series featuring the comedian, actress, and author as host. Each episode will include her personal and unique opinion about the latest events in a variety of areas, such as pop culture and politics, along with both comedy and location segments.

Lending a hand are Keith Robinson (pictured above at left) as Sykes’ sidekick, in addition to an ongoing group of panelists that will include regular visitors, Sykes’ well-known friends, and unlikely surprise guests.

And, never fear: the new weekend series is a moonlighting gig for Sykes. That means you can still catch her on episodes of the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, which currently airs Wednesdays at 8pm ET.

    I think Wanda is funny and I think some of the show is very funny but some of it is not. I think her sidekick is obnoxious and ignorant, arrogant, and racist, too, if he stays on there I don’t think I can watch. I fast forward when he is on. The last straw for me was when he bashed the movie The Blindside, calling it a comedy and saying it was unrealistic and a white woman would never take in a big black guy. That was the stupidest thing he could have said and he should be forced to sit and watch the 20/20 about the TRUE story that movie was based on. It’s a pretty amazing story of how we all should be loving to each other no matter what someone looks like and it was about a family helping a child. I haven’t seen the movie but I know the true story and it’s beautiful. I feel sorry for him that he thinks that is impossible. I am white, but I was lucky to be raised by wonderful loving people and my father’s best friend in the 1950’s was black so I dare him to keep up his crap about all white people being bad and being racist. When I was about 12, in the 70’s, my family took in a whole high school basketball team of African Americans from Oakland while in town for a tournament. Not everyone who is light skinned is as closed minded as Keith Robinson claims and he should look in the mirror because he is the most intolerant ass I’ve ever heard.
