Baboon

Sharp, fearless comedian who turns truth into electric laughter.

Wanda Sykes is a natural baboon — witty, affectionate, and a consummate social performer who thrives on making people laugh while delivering razor-sharp social commentary. Her stand-up specials, roast appearances (most famously the 2009 White House Correspondents' Dinner), and quick improvisational energy on talk shows and panel programs show a comedian who revels in being the center of attention through humor. Beneath the jokes is genuine warmth and family devotion, exactly the baboon's hallmark blend of comedic brilliance and heartfelt authenticity.
