Biography

Wanda Sykes has been called “one of the funniest stand-up comics” by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly’s “25 Funniest People in America.” Her smart-witted, award-winning work has broken barriers and sent her career across platforms. 

Wanda joined forces with veteran producer Page Hurwitz to form Push It Productions, a production company dedicated to creating quality, comedy-based programming for network and cable television outlets. The company’s diverse slate of projects includes sketch comedy, concerts, reality talk/variety, and competition formats. 

Known for her performances in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and ABC’s “black-ish,” Sykes is a pioneering comic. She was the first African-American woman to perform at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, as well as the first to conceive and star in her own prime-time sitcom, “Wanda at Large.”  

Her first book titled Yeah, I Said It, is a hilarious collection of essays touching on life, family and current events.

Yeah, I Said It

Yeah, I Said It …about President George W. Bush: “Sometimes I feel like we’re trapped on a bad reality show. He’s not really a president. He’s a construction worker. If he gets reelected, he gets a million dollars and we get screwed.” Michael Jackson: “He still hasn’t molested as many boys as the Catholic Church.” Abortion: “It’s nobody’s business to tell another woman what to do with her body. Let’s leave that up to Joan and Melissa Rivers.” Imbued with her razor-sharp voice, sidesplitting candor, and her trademark brand of comedy, the essays in Yeah, I Said It showcase Wanda at her uproarious, uncensored best.
