Not Funny


I know there's plenty of relevant baseball discussion to be had with both the Yankees and Phillies out to commanding 3-1 leads. However, can anyone else get over the fact that Wanda Sykes is going to have her own show on FOX?

If you have been watching any of the ALCS, chances are you've been flooded with spots for "The Wanda Sykes Show" which premieres next month on FOX. I guess Sykes is FOX's answer to George Lopez (TBS) and Jimmy Fallon (NBC). What, was Sinbad unavailable?

In her new promo last night, Skyes experiments with some stand-up. In the scene she is reading a newspaper and the following exchange transpires:

"Looks like the divorce rates in this country are lower."
"That's no surprise considering how the economy is." (Wait for it...)
"People are too broke to break up."

(Crickets.)

Five years ago, FOX gave her a shot with Wanda At Large which was canceled soon after airing. Oh, but I'm sure viewers will give her more of a chance this time around.

May God have mercy on your soul FOX.
