Wanda Sykes to make fun of President Barack Obama.
The spokesperson for the comic actress said Wanda has been selected as the entertainer at the annual White House correspondents’ dinner in Washington.
President Obama is expected to attend the black-tie affair at the Washington Hilton. The guest list of some 2,000 people will likely include the usual mix of Washington elite, White House press corps and Hollywood celebrities.
Sykes, who booked the gig this week, said the idea of performing for such a high-profile crowd is “scary but very exciting. ” Sykes, 44, has established a comic identity around her blunt, feisty personality. Sykes appears on “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” and first made a name on TV with stints on “The Chris Rock Show” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
