Wanda’s Big Night
May 9, 2009
One of the most brilliant and hilarious comedians on the planet, Wanda Sykes, will be hosting tonight’s White House Correspondent’s Association dinner. Watch it at 8 PM EDT live on C-Span.
I still can’t believe that the selection committee watched any of her videos. Or, if they did, I can’t believe that Wanda will somehow be able to resist, well, being Wanda.
Wanda Sykes. Face to face with President Barack Obama.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go make sure that my defibrilator has fresh batteries.

You Want Really Big News? Wanda Sykes Has Been Chosen to Host the 2009 White House Correspondents’ Dinner
February 13, 2009 
Yup. Wanda Sykes. The night of May 9th. My favorite comedian up on stage roasting the president and first lady.
Every muckety-muck in DC in the audience.
History will be made. Pacemakers will stop.
Wanda.
I only have one question: Do you think those who invited her have seen, I mean really seen and heard, her routine? Are they really ready for the comedy equivalent of a nuclear weapon?
Now this is going to be one history-making, sidesplitting , controversy-creating night. There are statues in that city who will probably start laughing.
Wanda. They invited Wanda.
Now I just have to figure out a way to get there.
