That last remark comparing torture with the bank robber paying bills didn’t even make sense.

A couple W “performances” still stick out in my mind. One was the photo album of “the Bush Family”...where he showed a photo of Jeb when he was young and naked and said, “Ladies and Gentleman, The Governor of Florida” when the photo popped up.

The Bush impersonator, side by side with the “real” Bush was a classic.

They knew what they were getting...

She is known for her blunt comedic observations on current events, the differences between the sexes and races, and the human condition.

After college, her first job was as a procurement officer with National Security Agency (NSA), where she worked for five years.

In October 2008, Wanda Sykes appeared in a television ad for the Think Before You Speak Campaign, an advertising campaign by GLSEN aimed at curbing anti-gay rhetoric in youth communities. In the 30 second spot, she uses humor to scold a teenager for saying “that’s so gay” when he really means “that is so bad.”

In March of 2009, it was announced that Wanda Sykes would be the host of a new Late Night Talk Show on Saturdays on FOX. It is expected to premiere in the Fall of 2009.

In April 2009 she was named in Out magazine’s Annual Power 50 List, landing at number 35.

Sykes was married to David Hall from 1991 to 1998. In October 2008 in California she married her female partner, whom she met in 2006, and publicly came out in November at a same-sex marriage rally regarding Proposition 8 in Las Vegas that she is a lesbian and had just married.

She expressed her excitement over the presidential election of Barack Obama, and feeling “crushed” after the passage of Proposition 8, forbidding marriages of same-sex couples in California. She has continued to be active in same-sex marriage issues hosting events and emceeing fundraisers.
