Wendy williams show: sherri shepherd nears a deal to become permanent host

[BUtterfield 8 41,664]

Sherri Shepherd is finalizing a deal to become a permanent host on The Wendy Williams Show, sources tell Deadline. A rep for the syndicated daytime talk show’s producer, Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury, declined comment.

Along with fellow actor Michael Rapaport, Shepherd emerged as the lead guest hosts on the show, filling in on a regular basis for Williams since the beginning of the 13th season as the veteran talk show host took time off to recover from a variety of health issues.

TMZ, which first reported Shepherd’s pending deal, said she would be named a permanent guest host. The position she is closing in for is a permanent host, I hear.

I hate Wendy, but I don't want to live in a world without Wendy doing Hot Topics

This makes absolutely no sense. It's quite literally, NOT the WW show if someone else permanently hosts. Wtf

[Dojo 19,643]

Wendy say something girl they're literally gonna take your show away right from under you! 

This is so bizarre Wendy is just watching all of this in silence...

It just isn’t going to be the same with a different host

I was never a fan of Wendy, but people watched that show because well, it was Wendy. She was super messy and at times cruel, but it was what people came for. This is like trying to replace Oprah back in the day. She's too much of a personality for the show to continue without her.

Things must be seriously going wrong for her health-wise.

Wait what happened to Wendy?

[Killa 18,041]

Will she burp tho and do that Roger hands thingy

[Darcklighter22 2,358]

Not mentioned above but I've also read,  so she would take the permanent temp host job and if Wendy doesn't come back given a year later they'd rename the show.

At this point tho it would be like who wants to be a millionaire but without Regis IMO

I'd prefer Leah Remini, tbh. She was much funnier and closer to Wendy's energy but non-problematic.

I kinda want Trisha Paytas to be the host 

she and Wendy give off a similar vibe
