Wanda Sykes reduces people to tears -- tears of laughter.
She's done so as a stand-up comic, a sitcom star, and a
sports commentator for years now, and in the process she's
gained a huge fan base nationwide. Now that she's conquered
television, she's applying her genius to her first book,
Yeah, I Said It. Here, Wanda presents hilarious and
uncensored commentary on sex, family, politics,
celebrities, and much more than she could ever say in a
sound bite. But then again, she's a genius with a sound bite too.
Here's what she says about men and football. "I used to
think that football took place in this overbearing male-
only environment that bled masculine domination. But the
more I attend, the more I realize these football fans could
actually be experiencing the straight man's gay pride
parade. You see men painting each other's faces in bright
colors. You see men proud to wear another man's last name
on their shirt. You see some men wear no shirt at
all....Hot wieners on every corner as you walk up to the
main competition. Men open the back of their trunks for a
little tailgating." Here's what she says about women: "Women are taking
stripper classes in hopes their men will stop going to
strip clubs....You can't compete with those
strippers....You gotta have...the stripper mentality. In
other words, the ability to lie like a dog for a measly
buck. A stripper will tell your man anything for a
dollar. 'Oow, I thought you were Brad Pitt.' " An uproarious and irreverent collection from one of today's
foremost comedic talents, Yeah, I Said It is Wanda Sykes at
her uncensored best. Here, she channels her sharp wit into
funny bits on the truth as she sees it from the halls of
government in Washington, D.C., to the red carpets and
boardrooms of Hollywood. Imbued with her razor-sharp voice,
these essays showcase Sykes's sidesplitting candor and her
trademark brand of comedy.
