The show will feature a panel of recurring guests discussing hot issues, from politics to pop culture. Sykes will also present in the field segments.
The hourlong comedy program, will fill the shoes of the recently cancelled sketch show ‘MadTV’. Currently, late night time-slots are dominated by white male hosts on other networks.
