Wendy Williams Reveals Her Next Career Move
Daytime talk show host Wendy Williams officially ended her 13-season TV run of The Wendy Williams Show on Friday (June 17) and is ready to begin the next chapter of her career.
Extra’s Billy Bush reports that Williams is "heading off into the world of podcasts, with iTunes."
According to Bush, Williams had an amicable meeting with the show’s producers, Mort Marcus and Ira Berstein of Debmar-Mercury, and agreed that it was time to part ways.
Originally slated to continue through the end of the season with rotating guest hosts, Williams was been sidelined with health issues for the majority of its run.
Williams had been away from the show since July 2021 and went on medical leave the following September, Eonline reported. Sherri Shepherd filled in for Williams during most of season 13 and hosted the grand finale.
