Wanda Sykes Biography

Wanda Sykes was named one of the "25 Funniest People in America" by Entertainment Weekly magazine, and she ranks at the top of the list even among her colleagues. Her quick-witted stand-up has launched her career in a variety of fields, from stage to television to entertaining presidents. Sykes worked as a performer and writer on HBO's critically acclaimed Chris Rock Show for five years. She received an Emmy for her writing as well as her witty commentary on Inside the NFL. She has also made numerous appearances on Larry David's blockbuster HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. She's acted in a number of feature films, including Evan Almighty, starring Steve Carell, and Monster-In-Law, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, and her debut book, Yeah, I Said It, is a funny compilation of essays about life, family, and current events. She created, produced, and acted in FOX's Wanda At Large, and her own late-night talk program, The Wanda Sykes Show, ran on FOX in 2009-2010. Her Emmy-nominated HBO programs I'm a Be Me and Wanda Sykes: Sick and Tired received critical acclaim and explored topics ranging from health care town halls to obtaining her first bikini wax. Sykes was the featured comedian at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2009, when she mocked President Barack Obama about the countless naked photos of him in the media and managed to touch on subjects of race and politics with the edge that only Wanda can give. She continues to entertain audiences around the country with her candid and amusing remarks on many aspects of life. "I think it's because my comedy is in your face, and it comes from a place that's true," Wanda says of her growing popularity.
