The Wendy Williams' Show: She's Ready for Millions of Her Closest Friends to Tune into her new TV Show!! (254 hits)

IT’S no secret that Wendy Williams wears a wig. Oh no, honey, she talks about it all the time on her radio show, four hours of daily gab and gossip broadcast nationally from New York. Of course there is little about the statuesque Ms. Williams that is under wraps; there is even a taxonomy to her hairpieces. “Ones that might be thinning a bit because they’re older, I wear those if I’m outside washing my car in the driveway,” she said. “Then you have a gym wig — a gym wig and a Target wig are the same thing — and the ones I wear to the mall on the weekend with my family.”

There is what she calls an “airport-schlepping wig” and a shorter one she reserves for days out with her son, Kevin, 8. “You can’t be flinging long fake hair around at a birthday party,” she said with a deep laugh. Most important, lately, are her show wigs: the piles of blond upon blond — “they weigh three times as much as a regular wig” — that she will wear on her televised, hourlong talk show, which is set to begin July 13.

Broadcast live in New York and syndicated nationally, “The Wendy Williams Show” is a chance for Ms. Williams, who will turn 45 this month, to expand her reach and her brand — without, she hopes, sacrificing her persona. “People that I’ve talked to regarding the TV show, they’re asking: Who are your guests going to be? Am I nervous to go out there? What do you think America’s going to say?” Ms. Williams said in a recent interview in the pink-and-purple offices above her pink-and-purple television studio. “I’m not overconfident. It’s just that I’m not caught up in that. What will be, will be. The die is cast. I can’t be anybody but me.”
