Wanda Sykes gets yet another new show on Fox: "The Sykes show, which is expected to launch in the fall, would fill the void left by the recently canceled sketch series 'MadTV.' The hour long show would air at 11 p.m. According to Broadcasting & Cable, which first broke the news, the Sykes skein would look more like a panel series similar to Bill Maher's HBO show, as opposed to a regular talker. Beyond the topical panel discussions, the series also will follow Sykes as she shoots field segments."
Honestly, like Real Time With Bill Maher, if they are tryng to do a show in that vein, it needs to be on cable. I like the risks FOX takes as far as their programming, but I feel if she stays on a major network, Wanda won't get to be...well Wanda. Remember back in the days when Politically Correct was on ABC, and Bill said something that the execs didn't like about 911 and the powers that be had him fired? The same may happen should Wanda say something her FOX bosses don't care for.
