BREAKING BARRIERS: Fox to get a Late Night Female Talk Show Host

Fox has declared to forgo the stereotype of the Prime time talk show host being male and declare "uniqueness" to it's network to have a Prime time FEMALE Talk show Host...

The very talented Wanda Sykes...

Compared to the likes of Conan...Leno...Letterman... she is unique in three major categories of how Late Night Talk Show Host should be...

She is....

  1. African American
  2. Female
  3. Lesbian

Here's a little info on Wanda...

Raised in the Washington, D.C. area...Her father served as a US Army colonel employed at the Pentagon...and her mother...as a banker...

A graduate from Hampton University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing...

After college, her first job was as a procurement officer with National Security Agency (NSA)...where she worked for 5 grueling years...

Not completely satisfied with her role with the NSA, Sykes began her stand-up career at a Coors Light Super Talent Showcase...

She continued to hone her talents at local venues while at the NSA until 1992 when she moved to New York City....her first awesome break came when opening for Chris Rock at Caroline's Comedy Club....

In 1997, she joined the writing team on The Chris Rock Show and also made many appearances on the show....

After that she took off into random TV shows...movies and her very own HBO Comedy Specials...

NOW...Sykes divorced husband David Hall in 1998....She remarried again in October 2008 in California to her female partner, whom she had met in 2006.... Sykes then came out publicly later in November 2008, that she was lesbian during a same-sex marriage rally regarding Proposition 8 in Las Vegas...

During her address she declared her excitement over the presidential election of Barack Obama, and her feeling "crushed" after the passage of Proposition 8, forbidding marriages of same-sex couples...

OVERALL I'M IN LOVE WITH WANDA...I've had a secret crush on her since I was 16 & I'm stoked for her to have this opportunity!!!

As of right now her show is still in the begining stages....which rumors point to a Late Night show dedicated to a panel of recurring guests sparring over issues from politics to pop culture...
