The Wanda Sykes Show (Fox), TV review
Telegraph ^

Posted on 11/09/2009 12:37:42 PM PST by traumer

It’s an Obama infomercial! No, a Lesbian Night on the Fox channel? Wait, it’s a soft porn comedy hour on a major American television network. Actually, it's none of the above. It’s the premiere of the Wanda Sykes Show, a new one-hour program competing in the late night lineup. But at this juncture, it’s hard to tell what the show really is.

The much buzzed “late-night show by the first gay black woman” with warnings of adult language and content conjures up an array of possibilities. Sadly, none of them really go anywhere in this perplexing presentation masquerading as hip.

One thing is certain: this must be the first time in American history that a television “talk show host” has announced her purpose as the defender of a sitting president. “The Obama’s are all too placid to get up in people’s faces. That’s why I’m here,” announced Sykes in the seemingly unending monologue of her first show. Huh?

The premiere opens via doctored Larry King Live footage with an attack on conservative political commentator Anne Coulter and her batting eyelashes. Confused? There’s likely something wrong with you if you’re not.

And the talk in this talk show - other than Wanda’s - is minimal. Comedian Keith Robinson, Wanda’s sidekick, stands with her at a high table while they discuss yet another Obama incident. A young black woman, standing next to Obama in a video of a Virginia campaign event, seems to be mouthing the words, “I’m gonna rape you”.

You make my point. When Jackie came up - he played to Jewish, Irish, WASPs, blacks, and every other ethnic racial group around and found a way to be funny. These clymers are funny only to a self identifying sub group. The concept of hip is long ago gone away. Its really nothing more than inbreds laughing at their dogs humping one another.

I saw that skit. Was channel surfing. Watched as much as I could without barfing.
 
This is the most un-funny crock of ---- I've seen in a long time.
 
Even beneath Fox's low scummy standards. It will likely be gone in a few weeks.

She is the rug munching mutt who wants Rush Limbaugh’s kidneys to fail - she stated that wish at the White House in obama’s presence. Everyone laughed heartily and applauded.

It’s not a show.

It’s a thumb jabbed in a majority of the viewing public’s eye.

watched by very few.

What's more he's one of the few well known comedians who are making jokes mocking of liberalism's sacred cows.

The counterculture of 1958-1968 is the establishment of today.

They went after the Church, “the Flag”, marriages, sexual monogamy, and 9-5 living. Now they are in charge. We have undergone a cultural revolution. What did they bring to replace it with? Societal ills and Socialist “solutions”.

Barack Obama acted stupidly.

go to a dyke bar and find out for yourself. Fat, ugly, angry and dressed in flannel - don’t know why they call them gay.

Well, somebody's bound to ask so it might as well be me. What are you doing hanging out in dyke bars? Were you lost, drunk or just trying to get lucky?

Or all three?

When you go to the zoo, don’t you look at the monkeys? Curiousity and a flagrant heterosexual interest in all things feminine. Sadly, as I stated, there is no feminine there, there. Its Butch city in flannel and denim. I think some of them grow a better moustache than I do.

It’s like people who visit S.F. and spend all their time in the Castro district, then complain that they saw a lot of homosexuals.

She’s gay? Shoot, dang it all to heck. Another vacated womb. I may not like her politics, but she’s smart and good-looking and dang it she should marry some good man and have children.

I like it. Her program will bring relevance, credibility and gravitas to the struggling Obama image.

“I may not like her politics, but she’s smart and good-looking and dang it she should marry some good man and have children.”

You must be thinking of someone else, she is two arm coyote ugly, and please don't encourage her to breed.

Too late bvw ....



Wanda Sykes, 44, and her wife Alex wed in California, October 2008, joined the growing ranks of gay parents, as these first-time moms celebrated the birth of twins. Sykes has described herself “proud to be a woman, proud to be a black woman and proud to be gay” — and now she can be proud to be a gay black mom as well.
