and from movies with young women," she declares. "All old white men should be segregated from the White House, the Supreme Court. Why, for example, does this great journalist feel like "she had to go out and get a whole new head" while "Roosterneck," an old white guy, feels like he can sit there with all his chins? Wanda also takes on race - and argues for segregation. (Greta van Susteren, anyone?) But there's no catfighting scene here Wanda's whole point is about gender inequality. She also comments on-air about a smart woman commentator's freaky face-lift.

"I'm sick of shows showing you how to do stuff," she says, such as where to buy anthrax or how to make a bomb. As Hawkins, she tears into the concept of "news you can use," a FOX staple. Networks such as FOX, fat politicians, the white people who hire her for "color" but then are afraid of what comes out of her mouth - no one is safe. Maybe because Sykes - this smart, lefty-political, enraged black woman - happily goes after the hand that feeds her. With its slew of bottom-feeder shows, it has consistently seemed to take delight in pushing the taste envelope. It's a strange turn for FOX, which has never before been afraid of raising our ire. FOX's decision to domesticate her is a cop-out it's almost as if someone is afraid that Sykes will scare away the viewers. Wanda's an unpredictable firecracker, speaking over-the-top truth to power, and that's the role Sykes was born to play.

It's sitcom bunkum, really, this need to sweeten her up. The cute munchkins pop over all the time, giving Wanda the chance to show the softness that underlies all her inappropriate parenting. Perhaps the biggest problems are, as Wanda would say, "those damn kids" - the niece and nephew she's helping her widowed sister-in-law raise. But the show's creators have larded their new show with so many extraneous sitcom ingredients that Sykes barely has time to be herself. All the Sykes elements are there: the tempestuous hair, that paint-peeling voice, the bullheaded attitude made all the more funny and fearsome for her short stature. When the model is clothed in ugly golf togs, however, it's another story. Soon Wanda is out on the street, harassing gun buyers and showing up on the green of a men-only country club with a naked woman.
CRANK YANKERS TURD IN MY CAR TV
After Sykes' character, Wanda Hawkins, crashes a company party and lights into the star anchor (which parallels the real story of Sykes' own hiring by HBO exec Rick Bernstein), sweaty TV suit Roger (Jason Kravits) decides she's the perfect woman to resuscitate the anemic station. If Sykes can do so much with just her voice, why is a whole show devoted to her not funny? In FOX's new Wanda at Large, Sykes plays a diminutive loudmouth hired by a Washington, D.C., TV station looking for a "Charles Barkley trash-talking" type to spice up a snoozer of a political talk show. Sykes did it all with just her voice - a honking, squawking, outraged bray, the acid essence of indignation applied to a poop joke. As Wanda Murphy, Sykes called up a tow-truck operator and hollered, "There's a turd in the backseat of my car!" Her incredulous target was so amazed that he had to get his friend on the phone, too, and the two men were soon laughing so hard they could barely talk. An Emmy Award-winning writer and comedian, Sykes is a regular on HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and Inside the NFL - and also on Crank Yankers, a Comedy Central offering that features puppets acting out nasty, real-life crank calls made by a stable of comics.
