Sykes inked a deal with Fox for own late-night show airing Saturdays, 11 PM


Wanda Sykes may be returning to her old stomping grounds: the Fox Network.

The comedienne, who came out of the closet at a Proposition 8 protest last year, inked a deal to host her own late-night talk show, Broadcasting & Cable reports. The program, described as being similar to HBO’s "Real Time with Bill Maher," will be an hour long.

Sykes’s show will air Saturdays at 11 PM and the first episode will launch either this Fall or January.

Last time the actress appeared on a Fox sitcom was in 2003 in "Wanda at Large." She currently appears on CBS’s "The New Adventures of Old Christine."
