“It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues,” the statement began. The note from Bragman concludes, “[Williams] understands why this decision was made from a business point of view, and she has been assured by Debmar-Mercury that should her health get to a point where she can host again and should her desire be that she hosts again that she would be back on TV at that time.” Fill-in hosts, including Shepherd, have been talking in her stead.

Earlier in the day, it was confirmed that Williams' syndicated talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, is coming to an end, for now, amid her ongoing health struggles.
Wendy Williams's rise, reputation, and absence from her talk show, explained.
It’s no fault of her own, but Williams’s image has often been used as an instrument in that appropriation as the internet forges a world built in the likeness of Blackness. Her prevalence on Black and gay Twitter has parlayed her into wider consciousness, as such things go. We can moralize and debate about whether her work served our society, but as with so much of television, it just served to entertain — and Wendy did the job with more flair than most would dare to muster. It is so easy to dogpile on Williams — a person who has said some awful things and has the nerve not to cower afterward, even though she is in the spotlight herself. They see her as sort of a joke of a figure. What follows is a brief synopsis of Wendy Williams’s most-cancelable hits: There was her explosive conversation with Whitney Houston in her radio days, where she asked Houston how her drug use affected her family (Williams has detailed her own issues with cocaine). Houston hung up on her. “She used to come for the Kardashians, but then she met them, and then she changed the narrative,” Turner said. Even if fans didn’t always approve of her approach, they wholly believed in her right to have a platform, regardless of who it bothered. In an Instagram statement, it was announced that Williams had tested positive for a “breakthrough case” of Covid-19. This came as a surprise to many of her fans, since she had previously been outspoken about not wanting to get vaccinated. Even early on, her penchant for showing no mercy was documented by the New York Times, in a 2008 article that described her as capable of being “startlingly mean-spirited.” This is what helped her amass a legion of fans, and also what has irritated her critics for so long; of late, the infractions have piled up. And that is the strange magic of Wendy Williams. Fox and BET jumped on the chance to broadcast the program, and the rest is history. Williams has also implied that Combs sent a girl group from his record label to assault her and intimated that he got her fired from Hot 97.

“She, more than anyone, understands the reality of syndicated television—you can’t go to the marketplace and sell a show that’s the Maybe Wendy Show,” he continued. However, Wendy Williams has since responded to her representative’s statement online, in a move that seemingly calls into question the fate of the daytime talk show. Following distributor Debmar-Mercury’s official announcement yesterday, rep Howard Bragman shared a message on behalf of Williams. “It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues.
The popular daytime talk show will instead be replaced by a new show, Sherri, hosted by Sherri Shepherd in the fall.
Today, God showed the world my ‘YES!’ Thank you everyone for making this dream of hosting my own talk show come true!” She is incredibly grateful to Debmar-Mercury, to Sherri and everybody else who has supported the show through this time. “It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues.

However, on a March 2019 episode of her show, a tearful Williams said that she was living “in a sober house” and had a round-the-clock sobriety coach. While she’s taking a “break from New York,” where the show tapes, she will be going back “stronger,” Williams replies in the video. Production on the current season was delayed last September because she had a “breakthrough” case of COVID-19, the show said at the time. Production will continue on “The Wendy Williams Show” through the current season, with rotating fill-in hosts, including Shepherd. “Sherri” will combine her love of “pop culture, talk, entertainment and comedy,” she said. They also expressed their “great love and affinity for Wendy” and admiration for her success.
Sherri Shepherd, who has helped guest-host "The Wendy Williams Show" this season, will take over Williams's timeslot.
Williams began her career in radio and gained renown for her role as a shock jock on New York’s Hot 97 radio station. “It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues,” he added. Her controversial opinions also earned Williams her fair share of critics — and headlines. Less than a month later, she filed for divorce from her husband and longtime manager, Kevin Hunter. In 2018, she said that she had been diagnosed years before with Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that can lead to hyperthyroidism. We hope to be able to work with Wendy again in the future, and continue to wish her a speedy and full recovery.”
