The Wendy Williams Show announced today that Sherri Shepherd will guest host the show again from December 13th-17th. After the 17th, the talk show will go on hiatus for the rest of 2021.
That means that an ailing Wendy Williams has not hosted her show in the latter half of this year.
If Shepherd gets good ratings again, I have a feeling they will be offering her the job to start in the Fall. Williams’s contract is up this Spring, and I can’t see them giving her a new one. I mean, she is absent from the show more than she is present. In the non-television world, she would have been replaced by now and put on medical leave.
I mean, let’s say she returns in January; she will have missed almost four months of work because of her undisclosed illness.
I want her to get better. But, it is not fair to other people who lose their jobs because of medical issues like cancer and can’t afford the medical bills.
