Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes is a writer, comedian, and actress. Through her work in television, film, and stand-up comedy, she earned her $6-million net worth. Sykes graduated from Hampton University, where she earned her marketing degree. She worked for a number of years at the NSA before becoming a stand-up comedian and then relocated to New York to take her comedy career on another level. This transition led her to a writing gig for The Chris Rock Show and a string of Emmy nominations and one Emmy win.

Before becoming a series regular together with Julia Louis-Dreyfrus on The New Adventures of Old Christine, Sykes had two attempts at her own show, which were Wanda Does It and Wanda at Large. She also made appearances in Will & Grace and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Always a laugh, Wanda has found her passion in entertainment and comedy, and we all love seeing her both on screen and on stage.
