The announcement reads, "The final original episode of 'The Wendy Williams Show' will run on Friday, June 17, with a video farewell to the renowned host." "After 13 years in syndication, the series comes to an end."

Williams, 57, will not appear at the end of her eponymous show.

Variety was the first to break the news.

Page Six exclusively revealed in May that "Wendy" show producers had been debating how to bring her back for the season finale.

"People want her to return. ... Wendy attracted a large number of applicants, particularly mid-and low-level producers. It appears to be coming to an end [without her]. "It's strange," one insider said at the time.

Meanwhile, another insider told us that colleagues are still traumatized by Williams' reported erratic behavior in recent years, which, along with health difficulties such as Graves' illness, caused her to miss the 2021-2022 season.

"There have been days when people worried they wouldn't have a job because she wouldn't show up, so this notion that there's some conundrum?" "No," they replied.

While the show has had several guest hosts in recent months, including Michael Rapaport and Leah Remini, former "The View" panelist Sherri Shepherd was so successful as a fill-in that production company Debmar-Mercury is replacing Williams' show with a brand-new series called "Sherri," which will premiere in the fall.

"This is my moment," Shepherd proclaimed in the first episode's promo. "Having my own program has been a longstanding ambition of mine, and it is now coming true."

Williams appeared on "Good Morning America" in March to announce that she was ready to resume her duties as the daytime talk show host.

"I'm very at ease," Williams stated at the time. "Everyone in my show's crew is prepared. Allow me three months. There are some private matters that I must attend to before returning to be free and ready to do my thing."

"This is what I'd like to say to my Wendy viewers: Keep watching, because I'm going to be back on the Wendy show larger and brighter than ever," she added.
