The Wanda Sykes Show Preview: Series Premiere

This Saturday night, Fox is giving comedy fans an alternative to Saturday Night Live in the form of Wanda Sykes' new talk show/comedy show, appropriately titled The Wanda Sykes Show. The comedy show will find humor in current events, including politics, sports and pop-culture.

Fans of Sykes' stand-up comedy will likely want to check the premiere out. And if you're unfamiliar with Wanda Sykes, below the series description (provided by Fox), we have a couple videos of Sykes talking about the series and her opinions on some of the things going on in this wacky country of ours. There's also one featuring Keith Robinson as he talks about Wanda and the show.

”Emmy Award-winning actress, comedian and author Wanda Sykes returns to FOX to host the innovative and irreverent new Saturday late-night series, THE WANDA SYKES SHOW.

A new weekly late-night series, THE WANDA SYKES SHOW will feature Sykes’ personal take on the events of the week punctuated by field pieces and produced comedy segments. Everything from news, politics, sports and pop culture will get examined from a point of view not currently offered on television. Each Saturday, Sykes will lead a discussion with regular panelists, famous friends and whole lot of folks you wouldn’t expect to find on television. In a wry and lively conversation about the overwrought, overlooked and the latest complete non-controversies, THE WANDA SYKES SHOW is a talk show for the rest of us.”

The Wanda Sykes Show will premiere on Saturday, October 7th at 11:00 PM-Midnight ET/PT.
