	TAP: Web Feature: Magic Wanda. by Noy Thrupkaew. April 4, 2003. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.
		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.
		Wanda's an unpredictable firecracker, speaking over-the-top truth to power, and that's the role Sykes was born to play.

		Sykes spent the next five years honing her whip-smart, cynical material and matter-of-fact delivery in D.C.-area clubs until she was confident enough to quit the NSA in 1992 – a move which her parents understandably found crazy.
		Sykes continued to work as a memorable supporting or guest performer when possible, but by 2003 she was a big enough star to receive headlining offers.
		Sykes then enjoyed a major comedic breakthrough with her first HBO special, “Wanda Sykes: Sick & Tired” (2006), a stand-up performance in which she covered politics, gay marriage, race, abortion and other timely issues that was taped in Seattle during the spring of 2006.

	Tv Review: Wanda Sykes gets her own show on Fox
		Comedian Wanda Sykes stars as a squawky-voiced, opinionated woman who lands a job on a public affairs talk show because the station manager, Roger (Jason Kravits), is so impressed with her honesty at a party.
		There's Wanda at the TV station, Wanda doing man on the street interviews, Wanda at home in the same apartment building as her widowed sister-in-law (Tammy Lauren), niece and nephew.
		Sykes is at her funniest when she bites the hand that feeds her, but that sort of humor is more effective in the real world than in a fictional context.

	Wanda at Large \| PopMatters Television Review
		After her audition segment on gun control, Wanda is invited to join the Sunday morning political roundtable, which her brassy candor quickly derails.
		Wanda says that she doesn't have health care, telling her friend Keith, "If I catch anything you can't cure with Epsom salts, I'm dead." She also unabashedly appreciates getting drunk and stoned as evidenced by her sloshed aside at the party where she lands her job.
		Sykes' show relies heavily on her personality, and lines up many foils for her acerbic comedy.

		Sykes, 39, has been writing jokes and doing the stand-up circuit for about a decade, but it's only recently that her eloquent disgust and whipsaw inflections have amused a mass audience.
		It was hard on Wanda to reshoot it, and then the kids [who played her niece and nephew in the show] were recast, and we had to shoot it again.''
		Sykes' frown burrows deeper into her eyes; the corners of her mouth turn down in mock disgust.

	Wanda Does It \| PopMatters Television Review
		Wanda Does It, chock full of commercial breaks in its half-hour format, produces an overwhelming feeling that much of what doesn't normally get captured by the camera, probably shouldn't be.
		During the segments that purport to be slices of Sykes' everyday life, actors play characters alongside actual friends playing themselves, but in situations that could not possibly have happened.
		Similarly overwrought, Sue Murphy plays Sykes' friend Sue Murphy, cursing in the street as her car (which she's purchased with a bounced check) is dragged away, but looking like she was suppressing laughter at the ridiculousness of the scene.
