As Wendy Williams celebrates her 61st birthday on Friday (July 18), there’s only one thing on her wishlist: getting free from her guardianship. But for her fans, they’re wishing they could see her and her iconic purple chair back on their small screens.
Suggested Reading
After all, after two famous interviews with Charlamagne tha God on “The Breakfast Club” and “The Don Lemon Show,” it’s clear to many people that the former daytime talk show host is nowhere near mentally incapacitated and is instead sharp and funny as ever.
So does that mean we’ll see her come back to television or radio any time soon? The jury is still out considering her legal battles, strict guardianship and financial turmoil. But that doesn’t mean we can’t reminisce on some of the good times from her past shows.
It’s in that vein that we thought it’d be best to take a look back at some of her most memorable moments from her show in the hopes that she can return to her former glory in the near future. From shade to feel-good moments, get into these throwbacks and enjoy!
