Wanda Sykes on Saturday nights

Salon.com's Broadsheet blog just passed along the news (from Reuters) that Wanda Sykes will be filling FOX's recently vacated "Mad TV" timeslot this fall with her own talk/sketch show. Reuters:

The hourlong show, slated to premiere in the fall, will succeed the recently canceled sketch comedy show "MadTV." It will be topical, featuring a panel of recurring guests sparring over issues concerning politics as well as pop culture. Sykes will appear in field segments as well.

Sounds like it could be a bit like HBO's old "Chris Rock Show," which Sykes appeared on. In any case, Talk Show News is looking forward to it.
