  • Wendy Williams just announced a new career move after her eponymous talk show ended in June.

  • The former talk show host shared a promo for her upcoming podcast, The Wendy Experience, on Instagram.

  • According to her rep, “Her main priority is her health and shooting her first episode.”


Just two months after The Wendy Williams Show ended its 13-season run on FOX, Wendy Williams is prepping for her next big project: a podcast called The Wendy Experience. And fans are so excited for the talk show host to make a return.

The star shared a promo for the podcast on Instagram, writing: “TRUST ME I will be BACK!” In the clip, she shares a similar message, saying: “Co-hosts, I’m famous, and I’ll be back, trust me.”

She didn’t share any details about when the podcast might release or what to expect from it, but fans are excited about her potential return to the spotlight, especially given that she was absent from the entirety of her talkshow’s final season due to health issues associated with Grave’s disease and lymphedema. (Sherri Shepherd, who filled in for Williams during her absence, is now taking over the time slot with her own talkshow, Sherri, premiering September 12.)

“We Love You Wendy💕 we are patiently waiting. 💕💕💕” one person commented. “We’ll be waiting with open arms!💙💙” another added. “We’re waiting..❤️,” someone else wrote.

In July, Williams revealed to TMZ that she was thinking about moving into the podcast space. “I’ve got enough money to do something else, and what I’ve never done—podcast,” she said. “Which, by the way, podcasts, everyone has. But when you’re famous, podcasts will make more money for me, being famous, than doing The Wendy Williams Show.”

As she recently wrote on Instagram, “when one door closes, a larger one opens.” And her rep, William Selby told People that she’s really leaning into that mantra. “Wendy is excited about everything new in her life and her main priority is her health and shooting her first episode of her podcast. That’s the focus right now,” he said, adding that she “wants to take things slow and really put her focus into launching [it].”

“Wendy is in a sweet spot in her life where she can stop, breathe and smell the roses,” he continued. “Everyone knows Wendy has been a workhorse her entire life, and she is just looking to get back on the horse.”

We can’t wait to see (or hear!) where the star goes. With a career like hers, it’s bound to be somewhere great.
