A Wendy Williams podcast may be underway after Wendy Williams show cancellation.
Recently the speculation of the Wendy Williams show cancellation was confirmed as Sherrie Shepherd is set to begin airing her show in Wendy’s time slot.
“OMG! I am so excited to have my dream come true and debut my very own talk show SHERRI in the fall. I can’t wait until I return to NY to host the show and merge everything I love…pop culture, talk, entertainment and comedy. I am thankful to Debmar-Mercury and FOX for partnering with me on this show and look forward to this new journey,” Shepherd said in a statement.
“Sherri is a natural who proved her hosting skills for many years as a panelist on The View, on FOX’s Dish Nation and again this season as a popular guest host of Wendy,” Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a statement.
“Like our viewers, we have been impressed by the unique comedic twist Sherri puts on our daily live ‘Hot Topics’ segment, her creativity and interactions with our guests. Her love for the content and daytime fans is obvious, and we are excited to partner with her to create another long-term talk franchise,” they said.
“This is also a bitter-sweet moment for us and our partners at FOX. We all have a great love and affinity for Wendy, who grew into a true icon during her 12 incredible seasons as the solo host of a live, daily talk show dishing on ‘Hot Topics’ and interviewing celebrities,” Marcus and Bernstein added.
“Since Wendy is still not available to host the show as she continues on her road to recovery, we believe it is best for our fans, stations and advertising partners to start making this transition now. We hope to be able to work with Wendy again in the future, and continue to wish her a speedy and full recovery,” they concluded.
But that doesn’t mean Wendy Williams is totally out of the industry. According to The Jasmine Brand, Al Reynolds, 53, recently shared claims that Wendy Williams is in talks to land her own multi-million dollar podcast. While chatting about what’s next for the famous host, he said. Al Reynolds is the ex of Star Jones and has appeared on The Wendy Williams show.
