Wanda Sykes becomes late-night host

Comedian Wanda Sykes will host a Saturday late-night show this fall. The Fox hour long show will replace the cancelled comedy, “MadTV.”  The show will feature a panel of guests discussing popular topics as well as field segments. 

Sykes currently co-stars on the CBS series, “The New Adventures of Old Christine.”  The comedian is set to host the 2009 White House Correspondents Association Dinner.
