Causing rifts in the hip hop community by making sure to keep all her topics hot and any and everybody who is somebody’s name in her mouth. Since 2008, Wendy Williams has given the hottest tea, the shadiest shade, and always wants to know “how you doin’” on her FOX daytime talk show ‘The Wendy Williams Show‘. On Friday, June 17, 2022, The Wendy Williams Show is cancelled and will air its final episode after 13 seasons.
“The final original episode of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will air on Friday, June 17th, with a video tribute to the iconic host,” a spokesperson for the show told PEOPLE told after first exclusively sharing the news with Variety. “The series comes to an end after 13 successful years in syndication.”
Wendy Williams has been fighting for her health for quite some time, which has impacted the workflow of her self-entitled talk show. A source told PEOPLE in February: “Wendy won’t be returning to the show for the rest of this season” — though one month later, Williams told Good Morning America about her plan to return. “I’m going to be back on the Wendy show,” she said. “Bigger and brighter than ever.”
In October of 2021, ahead of the talk show’s 13th season premiere, Williams’ breakthrough COVID-19 case, and her ongoing health issues tied to Graves’ disease delayed its initial return. The premiere episode was delayed once more to October 18, 2021, despite Williams’ recovery from COVID-19. Since the show has had several guest hosts with the fan favorite being comedian Sherri Shepard.
Sherri Shepherd will launch her own daytime talk show in the fall of 2022. The new syndicated television series will be titled ‘Sherri’ and will slide into the Fox O&O time slots that are currently held by ‘The Wendy Williams Show’.
