Wanda Sykes (born 7 March 1964 in Portsmouth,
Virginia|Portsmouth, VA, also known as Wanda
Sykes-Hall) is a African-American stand-up
comedy|stand-up comedian known for her sassy
personality and blunt observations on current
events, the difference between the sexes and races
and life in general. Much of her humor comes from
her delivery, timing and distinctive voice, a
loud, brassy instrument that adds an edge to her
humor, as in this observation about white-collar
corporate thieves: "You get mugged, you might lose
what you got on that DAY. But I ain't never been
mugged of my FUTURE."

She has appeared in such films as Pootie Tang and
on TV shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm; she
starred in her own, short-lived Fox network
sitcom, Wanda At Large, in 2003. The same year,
Sykes appeared in an hour-long comedy special,
Tongue Untied, that aired on Comedy Central. She
has also served as a correspondent for HBO's
Inside the NFL, hosts Comedy Central's popular
Premium Blend, and provides the voice for a
recurring character named Gladys ("There is a TURD
on my back seat!") on Comedy Central's puppet show
Crank Yankers.
