    Fox - Wanda Sykes Show

    http://www.fox.com/wanda/

    I wonder how long this talk show will last. In her first monologue, she bites the hand that feeds her.

    The show won't last because Wanda Sykes isn't funny. The show is terrible. When it's cancelled, don't blame politics. She's just awful.

    Fox and Fox News are also not nearly the same beast politically. Fox's entertainment division has on occasion tweaked Fox News (Simpsons comes to mind) with minimal if any repercussions.

    That aside, what will probably kill her show is not the fact that she's unfunny and terrible. There's a lot of astonishingly crappy TV and some of it is on Fox.

    If she's cancelled it will be if she tanks in the ratings. Unfunny, terrible crap that gets ratings just keeps getting renewed.

    Yeah! Conservatives hate blacks and lesbians. And black lesbians. Obama supporters they can tolerate. At least more than blacks and lesbians. And black lesbians.

    Keep listening closely and let us know!

    I think she's funny. But to each his own.

    Does the fact that she's a flaming liberal working on Fox demonstrate that they are in fact "fair and balanced"?

    I was watching one of the other networks ( CNN? ) the week before her show debuted, and about every 15 minutes they played a bit of her interview with Ted Danson as he proceeded to insult people of faith everywhere by saying that they only went to church out of fear and anger, because "the rest" of their lives were so awful.

    I mean, I'm not a Christian, I don't go to church, and I have my own opinions about elements of the religious right, but---really? Those are the ONLY reasons anyone might belong to a church? No possibility of a genuine faith or anything, Mr. Hollywood Know-It-All?

    Ufta...

    And is the fact that they played that particular clip over and over and over evidence of bias?

    Well actually she works for Fox Broadcasting Channel, not Fox News. I thought she was funny, but I had to switch over to SNL at 11:30.

    Icon7 Wanda Sykes Show

    Wanda Sykes is the funniest women on TV and we should keep the show, but drop Keith and Porsche. They aren't funny and just bring the show down.

    At least she's no where near as retarded and unfunny as Chelsea Handler.

    Jeez. I caught one episode. She seems strained and forced, and the "sidekick" is just not funny...and what's up with the cross-dresser I have NO idea.

    Trying too hard, I think. The death of comedy.
