Wanda Sykes Talks About Wife, Family in HBO Special

Coming out has been good for Wanda Sykes.  For proof, tune in to HBO this Saturday night to watch her new stand-up special I'ma Be Me, which features 90 minutes of smart, hilarious comedy from a more relaxed, more authentic Wanda than we've ever seen before. The comedian admits as much in one of HBO's behind-the-scenes video about the special, saying, "finally I'm being who I am, being myself, not caring what other people think." Sykes, who stars in the CBS sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine, has been a fixture on the late night talk show circuit in the last two years because of her smart, politically oriented comedy. She also hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner in May, to both acclaim and controversy. Full Story from After Ellen: http://www.afterellen.com/TV/2009/10/wanda-sykes
