However, a show spokesperson had previously confirmed that the show is officially over and that the final episode would air on Friday.
They also hinted to Deadline that the host wouldn’t appear in it, saying: “The final original episode of The Wendy Williams Show will air with a video tribute to the iconic host.”
NO FAREWELL TO FANS
An insider told The Sun that the popular TV personality has turned down the offer to film a farewell message for viewers that would have aired during the final episode.
The source also revealed that Wendy was asked to appear in the finale but refused.
“They were not doing it live, but asked Wendy for pre-taped video,” the insider shared of the show’s hope to get the 57-year-old on her stage one last time.
“She still said no,” the source said. “She’s not at peace with what happened. She’s not happy with it.”
While Wendy’s daytime talk show has wrapped up, it will not be the end of the series as Sherri Shepherd will take over.

The insider explained: “Wendy is officially over. They are throwing out sets and merchandise this weekend.
“Nothing is getting stored. They are literally erasing her from the building. Offices are also removing all Wendy stuff.”
The source added: “When Sherri officially starts, Wendy’s name will not be mentioned again.”
