On Tuesday's REAL SPORTS with Bryant Gumbel, Wanda Sykes, who appeared on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and has starred in two solo specials on the network, offers her twist on gender equality in sports today. Get a sneak peek below!

REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL debuted April 2, 1995 and has gone on to win the Sports Emmy® for Outstanding Sports Journalism 15 times, receiving 26 Sports Emmy® Awards overall. REAL SPORTS was the sole sports program recognized by the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication in 2012, earning a prestigious George F. Peabody Award for broadcast excellence and has been honored twice with duPont Awards from Columbia University, first in 2005 and again in 2012.

In addition to Gumbel, who hosts the program and also reports from the field, the monthly show features an award-winning cast of veteran correspondents, including Mary Carillo, Frank Deford, Bernard Goldberg, Andrea Kremer and Jon Frankel. REAL SPORTS added Soledad O'Brien in 2013 and David Scott and Carl Quintanilla in 2014.

REAL SPORTS has been recognized for its landmark reporting on the long-term effects of concussions in sports. The show's initial report from correspondent Bernard Goldberg in 2007 won a Sports Emmy® Award for Outstanding Sports Journalism, and a congressional committee later played clips from that segment in a Capitol Hill hearing.
