Comedian Wanda Sykes will host two
election specials on all-gay cabler Logo.
The specials, titled NewNowNext Vote
with Wanda Sykes, will be taped in front of a live studio
audience in Times Square in New York City and feature notable
panelists from both sides of the political divide.
The first special will air on Monday,
September 10, four days after the Democratic National Convention
(DNC), followed by a second special on Monday, November 5, election
eve.
“I'm excited to be working with Logo,
the network that offers a voice to the LGBT community,” said Sykes
in a statement . “These specials will be thought provoking,
exciting and the perfect forum to discuss important issues facing our
community. Plus, it is Logo so maybe I'll get to dress in drag!”
According to producers, the specials
will “touch on hot topics for the LGBT voter including; gay
marriage, Supreme Court appointments, the economy and healthcare.”
