The Wendy Williams Show is officially coming to an end in June after 14 years and over 1,500 episodes as there are plans to replace it with ‘The Sherri Shepherd Show.’
The new show will include elements from Williams’ show, including the same show runner and the Hot Topics segment that has provided many of The Wendy Williams Show’s most viral moments.
According to reports, the show will finish its current 14th season, meaning that it will air new episodes on Fox until the fall.
A source said,
“The producers informed everyone that the [Wendy Show] was being canceled at the end of June. Then in the next breath they hired everyone to work on the new Sherri show.”
It was also reported that the executives of The Wendy Williams Show had been trying to find Williams’ replacement for years.
“[Wendy] had become somewhat unbearable, having tantrums and throwing things at people. Basically, the consensus among the crew is that she didn’t wanna be there anymore. Her illnesses may have exacerbated that feeling.” The source added.
