Shortly after the announcement was made that Williams\u2019 talk show was being canceled, the 57-year-old host put out a statement wishing Shepherd well plus leaving the door open to return in the distant future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Her spokesperson, Howard Bragman, explained that Wendy \u201cunderstands\u201d the decision to cancel \u201cThe Wendy Williams Show\u201d and expressed her gratitude to her replacement, Sherri Shepherd, Deadline <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2022\/02\/wendy-williams-statement-talk-show-end-tv-return-1234957947\/#recipient_hashed=cb2ab0d38727845e790f5a343a4fcce6c2cd6dd40079e589e170f899fb8e553b\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues. She is incredibly grateful to Debmar-Mercury, to Sherri and everybody else who has supported the show through this time,\u201d Bragman said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cShe, more than anyone, understands the reality of syndicated television \u2014 you can\u2019t go to the marketplace and sell a show that\u2019s The Maybe Wendy Show,\u201d the rep continued. \u201cShe 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Wendy Williams Show\u201d is coming to an end in June following Williams\u2019 extended absences, which were due to ongoing health issues. The host has been battling Graves\u2019 disease, an autoimmune disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The talk show swapped in a rotation of guest hosts including Shepherd, who quickly became an audience favorite. Now she\u2019ll be getting her own show in the same coveted daytime slot called \u201cSherri,\u201d TMZ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2022\/02\/22\/wendy-williams-show-ending-sherri-shepherd\/\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>. The new show is slated to premiere in September.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shepherd also has experience on other talk shows including \u201cThe View\u201d and \u201cDish Nation.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe 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 \u2018Hot Topics\u2019 and interviewing celebrities,\u201d Debmar-Mercury co-presidents said in a statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cSince 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Williams has been notably private about her health struggles and only described what she was going through in vague terms. But the talk show host shared a more personal video recently which showed her walking on a Miami beach and shooting down rumors that she was incapacitated and unable to care for herself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat do you have to say to those people who think you\u2019re up to whatever it is?\u201d her son Kevin, the person filming, asked his mom. Williams replied, \u201cExcuse me, I am going back stronger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAt [57] years old, there are things that happen to people. I would say things usually start about 40 and they go up from there, you know, so you\u2019ve got to eat the right food,\u201d she said, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10539915\/Wendy-Williams-reacts-Sherri-Shepherd-replacing-plots-possible-return-hosting.html\"><span>Daily Mail<\/span><\/a><span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The talk show mainstay concluded the video by reiterating her commitment to staying healthy and working on recovering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
