Fox Eyes Wanda Sykes For Saturday Late Night

[Are_grits_groceries]

Fox is planning on launching a new Saturday late night show featuring Wanda Sykes, according to sources with knowledge of the network's plans.

The show is said to be more in the mold of Bill Maher's HBO show than a typical talk show. It will air Saturdays at 11 and will be an hour long.

The network is considering launching the show either this fall or in January, when the network has historically launched many projects so as to capitalize on the promotional power of the American Idol audience.

I'd love for her to have a show. Fox seems a weird placement.

1. Wanda Sykes?! But she's a . . . a . . . you know

A Negro.

3. and a lesbian too

I love her. It's a little odd that it's on Fox but I'm happy for her.

4. Actually she's a left-leaning/liberal, lesbian, negro.

One that may be on fox? Weird!

(I bet Fox's standards and practices folks and censors are pre-buying avil and anti-acids by the case even as we speak). :D.

5. No one is so left-leaning that Murdoch wouldn't want to make money off him.

I hope Sykes will consider that however bully her pulpit is, it will finance one of the most evil entities on the planet.

2. FOX NEWS? Or Fox Entertainment? It's the latter--not an odd fit at all.

While the network is not bringing back time period occupant MadTV, the future of Spike Feresten's show is also said to be up in the air. Feresten's show has aired after MadTV at midnight, though it did get a recent trial run at 11.

People don't seem to appreciate the obvious--Murdoch only gives a shit about MONEY. He's not a Republican, he's nt a Democrat. He's a MONEYCAN, or a DOLLARCRAT.

FOX News appeals to the right wing neanderthal set. Fox Entertainment is loaded with those shows featuring people with a hefty dose of melanin, who live in "non-Beaver Cleaver" family arrangements, who do stupid, and sometimes illegal things (usually in the name of comedy) along with a heaping helping of edgy cartoons that mock Republicans and conservatives.

This show is airing on the "America's Most Wanted" Fox....not the "Hannity and Colmes" Fox.
