Wanda Sykes Friday Assignment

For Friday night’s assignment I watched the Wanda Sykes Show from 11:00-11:30 PM. Seeing as how it was at a later time, I expected it to have slightly more adult content than shows on at prime time because more kids would be in bed and I also expected it to have a visible slant because it is hosted by a person who has guests on and they take turns expressing their opinions. On both accounts I turned out right, because on subjects they touched on they went more into the adult side such as their discussion on Tiger Woods where they did not focus on the wrongs he had committed but rather the fact that this should be expected from superstars like him because, as one guest said “he has poontang raining from the sky.” You could also tell that Wanda’s opinion was one of disgust for Tiger, but also for his wife who had, as Wanda said, gone snooping and was going to find something. Even the commercials seemed a lot more slanted towards adult audiences with commercials focusing around telephone dating services and bankruptcy lawyers. After the discussion on Friday regarding different ways of showing a slant it was obvious about the slant in this show.
