Wendy Williams NOT Watching Sherri Shepherd’s Show After Shocking Replacement – Why?

Wendy Williams immediately crossed Sherri Shepherd's "Sherri" out of her must-watch list.

After being away for a long time, the creators of "The Wendy Williams Show" decided to look for a permanent host and hailed Shepherd to replace Williams.

In February, they officially announced that Williams' long-running show would be canceled, and Shepherd would be taking over the throne with a new program of her own.

While the news hyped some fans, the original host revealed in a new interview that she would not tune in to the show.

Williams sat down for an interview with Fat Joe on Friday and revealed that she still wishes she could go back to her show to talk about everything she has been up to. She also imagined how fun it would be to talk about her return when she comes back.

"I won't be watching her because I know what she'll be doing, and that's not really my thing ... you know what I'm saying?" she shaded her co-talk show host. "But I love, I love being on my own show. And I love that people love to watch it, you know, all the time."

Williams then firmly proclaimed that she would come back to her "The Wendy Williams Show" following her health woes.

Before Shepherd officially replaced her, Williams already hinted at her desire to hold an epic return. She also shared a similar sentiment at a Met Gala afterparty this week.

"That's okay. You know, I understand. I'm not mad at Wendy. She's going through a lot," she said. "I'm concerned. I'm really truly concerned for her because I don't feel like there's anybody over there protecting her. And it's really hard when there's no protection around you ... But I'm not mad at Wendy because she won't watch my show."

Shepherd also reminded everyone that they should be praying for Williams after everything she went through in the past months.

In the end, she expressed how she could not do anything about Williams but pray for her.
