WANDA BACK AT LARGE ON FOX.

-The sapphic comic to get Sat. late night show, as a test for a weeknight slot.

Broadcasting Cable.com has confirmed the show for Jan 2010 at 11pm. The hour program will ape Bill Maher's current HBO format,rather than do another Leno/Letterman retread.

The Idol network has cancelled- the Best of Mad TV, thereby putting ne'er do well, Spike Feresten on notice- to shape up or ship out. Fox was unmoved by his anemic performance, of his brief "trial run at 11."

The fourth network will limit its appeal to Saturdays for now, unless they find the "right talent" to reattempt a weeknight show, and network execs maybe leaning toward Sykes. Also, the inside sources claimed, the triple minority status of Sykes- gives Fox a chance to cultivate good will with two different audiences, normally shunned in late night.
