Nick Cannon Temporarily Taking Over For Wendy Williams

Nick Cannon is taking over for Wendy Williams during her hiatus. The TV host, comedian and actor will guest host from February 4th – 6th. This week, the announcement was made on Wendy’s social media. The post was captioned,

Friend to the show and host of Fox’s The Masked Singer and MTV’s Wild n’ Out, @nickcannon will be guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, February 4th, Tuesday, February 5th & Wednesday, February 6th. The new hour long episodes will include Wendy’s staple Hot Topics segment, “Ask Wendy,” celebrity interviews and more!

Earlier this month, the popular talk show host postponed her return to her talk show for a third time.

Her family released a statement explaining that she’s suffered complications from Graves’ Disease. During her absence, repeat episodes aired and the show continued with a panel. The statement read:

A Note from The Hunter Family

As Wendy Williams Hunter previously shared, she fractured her shoulder and has been on the mend. Over the past few days, Wendy has experienced complications regarding her Graves’ Disease that will require treatment. Wendy will be under the strict supervision of her physicians, and as part of her care, there will be significant time spent in the hospital. Despite her strong desire to return, she is taking a necessary, extended break from her show to focus on her personal and physical well-being.
Wendy thanks everyone in advance for their well-wishes and for respecting her and The Hunter Family’s privacy during this time.
Statement from Debmar-Mercury
For over ten years, Wendy has been a vital part of the Debmar-Mercury family. We wholeheartedly support Wendy in this decision to take the time she needs and we will welcome her back with open arms the moment she is ready.
The Wendy Williams Show will air repeat episodes the week of January 21st and will produce original episodes with a variety of hosts starting the week of January 28th.

Let’s continue to send love, light and prayers for a speedy recovery.
