Biography
Sykes is known for her blunt observations on current events, the difference between the sexes and races, and life in general. Much of her humor comes from her delivery, and timing. An example of her humor is her comparison between white-collar corporate thieves and muggers in bad neighborhoods: “You get mugged, you might lose what you got on that DAY. But I ain’t never been mugged of my FUTURE.”
Sykes began her standup career in 1987 when she entered a Washington D.C.-area talent competition. Although she lost, she discovered her passion for comedy. She continued to hone her talents at local venues while working as a procurement officer at the National Security Agency (NSA). In 1992 she left NSA and moved to New York. Her first big break came when she opened for Chris Rock at Caroline’s Comedy Club. In 1997 she joined the writing team on The Chris Rock Show. The writing team was nominated for four Emmys — they won one in 1999. Since that time, she has appeared in such films as Pootie Tang and on TV shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm. In 2003, she starred in her own, short-lived Fox network sitcom, Wanda at Large. The same year, Sykes appeared in an hour-long comedy special, Tongue Untied, that aired on Comedy Central. That network also ranked her #70 on its list of the 100 greatest standups of all time.

v You only say that because it doesn't offend you, using gay to describe something that is horrible, crappy, or sucks is insulting to glbt people because it's like saying "Oh gay people are horrible, crappy, or suck" which is rude and uncalled for so mute your TV and gtfo it.

Apparently a few classmates of mine saw her here in Pennsylvania leaving from some French restaurant. Or nearby a French restaurant. I don't know the specifics, mainly because all I truly know is that they were all on a French trip to a French restaurant to eat French food... And Wanda Sykes just so happened to be in the neighborhood. P:
