The Wanda Sykes Show is Over — Here’s Who Should Replace Her

Well, this isn’t a good week for female comedians and their TV star vehicles : Deadline reports that Wanda Sykes is about to lose her Fox talk show , which she’s only had since November.

We’ve been treated to appearances by everyone from James Franco to Jon Bon Jovi to Buzz Aldrin in the current season, and tonight’s episode, entitled “Emanuelle Goes to Dinosaur Land,” will present a full credits sequence worth of the show’s past gets — with room for surprises.
