How Wendy Williams Changed Daytime TV

This year "The Wendy Williams Show" aired its final episode, amidst rumors and speculation about the health and well-being of host Wendy Williams. But as the show shuts down, we take a moment to reflect on how Williams, with her brash hot takes, bedazzled microphone, and endlessly memeable monologues, changed daytime TV forever. Coleman Spilde, entertainment critic for the Daily Beast and author of the piece "The Messy and Fabulous Legacy of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’" joins us to discuss, alongside Shamira Ibrahim, culture writer and author of the piece "The Misrepresentations of Wendy Williams’ Undeniable Legacy." Plus, we take listener calls.
