Wendy Williams’ daytime talk show may be ending after season 11.
The daytime gossip queen of talk announced to her audience that the program had been picked up for an 11th season. However, according to LoveBScott, that season may be the show’s last, as the host explained it was a dreadful season dealing with her personal drama with now ex-husband #KevinHunter, “This season has been, well, hell for me, in a weird way,” she said.
“I appreciate doing this show because it’s my one hour where I get to be fun and forget about stuff,” she continued. “You’ve seen me pass out the season, you’ve read [about me] in tabloids and the paparazzi and all that, but through it all, my one joy — aside from my son and my family — is you.”
“I’m not doing this show forever, but I certainly will be back for season 11,” she added. “A lot of people didn’t think we could do it, but we did it! September 16. I love you for watching, and I’ll see you next time on Wendy.” Williams also took a hiatus from the show back in January through March 4 to heal from a fractured should and her struggle with Graves’ disease. But now, she may be hanging it up for good. In fact, according to Page Six, staffers have already begun looking for new employment amid gossip that the show will not be returning.
“Staff are all celebrating what was one of the most difficult seasons over the 10 years of the show,” a source told Page Six. “They are all well aware that all they have is Season 11 left, that’s guaranteed, but until [production company] Debmar-Mercury announces that they are renewing additional seasons beyond the next season, some staff have begun searching for jobs,” the source said.
However, in light of the allegations, a spokesperson for “The Wendy Williams Show” claims the rumors are false and that the staff is completely fine. But, the source did not confirm the future of the show. “Wendy and her staff are closer than ever,” the statement read. “Last night was a great celebration to wrap up the show’s 10th season, and everyone is excited to come back for the 11th season on September 16.”
