It's Wanda!

Wanda Sykes will headline the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this spring, Yeas & Nays has learned.

Sykes, who was born in Virginia and raised in Maryland, did her first-ever stand-up show in D.C.

She's known for her roles on Comedy Central's "Crank Yankers," HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine," in addition to her solo work.

Sykes follows in the footsteps of Craig Ferguson, Rich Little and Stephen Colbert, who have headlined the star-studded dinner in recent years.
