Wendy Williams
(@WendyWilliams)
Mother, wife, media mogul, entrepreneur, performer and
best-selling author, Wendy Williams is best known for her
long-running talk show "The Wendy Williams Show." Named one of the
"35 Most Powerful People in Media" by The Hollywood Reporter in
both 2012 and 2013, Williams' nationally-syndicated weekday program
was hailed a "breakthrough in daytime" by The New York Times when
it launched in 2009. The Emmy-nominated show—now in its seventh
season—airs in 54 countries, on BET at midnight, and has been
renewed through 2020. Prior to achieving success in daytime
television, Williams built a devoted audience of fans throughout an
enormously successful 23-year career in radio. "The Wendy Williams
Experience" was Williams' top-rated, daily radio show. Syndicated
nationally, it aired on WBLS in New York and was listened to by an
audience of more than 12 million people. One of the most popular
personalities in radio, Williams was inducted into the National
Radio Hall of Fame in November of 2009 - one of only a handful of
women with that honor.
