The Wendy Williams Show (often shortened to Wendy) is an American syndicated talk show created and hosted by Wendy Williams, and produced by Wendy Williams Productions, along with Perler Productions. The show was distributed by Debmar-Mercury and aired nationally, with Fox's owned-and-operated stations serving as its primary affiliate base.[1][2] The talk show first aired on July 14, 2008, in select major U.S. markets and later expanded nationwide on July 13, 2009, due to loyal viewership which proved highly profitable.[3][4] It aired its final episode on June 17, 2022, with reruns continuing on most TV stations until September 9.
Wendy was broadcast live in front of a studio audience at Chelsea Studios in New York City on Mondays through Thursdays.[5] The Friday shows were either a first-run episode originally taped after the Thursday for broadcast the next day, or a repeat of a previous episode. The show regularly competed with The Ellen DeGeneres Show as the top-ranked syndicated talk show and averaged more than 1.6 million viewers per day including 440,000 in the target demo of women 25–54.[6][7]
In 2021, Williams took an indefinite leave of absence from the show due to various medical issues, with the show regularly hosted by a variety of guest hosts since the beginning of its 13th season in October 2021 (which itself was delayed from September due to a COVID-19 infection). In February 2022, Debmar-Mercury announced that Sherri Shepherd would host a successor to The Wendy Williams Show, Sherri, beginning in the 2022–2023 season.
