The 30 Rock alums representative explained of Shepherd's health in part, "The procedure was successful and Ms. Shepherd is doing fine and resting. She is absolutely devastated that she will not be able to guest host The Wendy Williams Show today, but she is following doctors orders and expected to make a full recovery."

The Daytime Emmy Award nominee is filling in for Williams, 57, for the rest of the week as she continues to battle multiple health woes. The former radio DJ has been absent from her show since the start of the season after dealing with complications from Graves' disease and contracting a breakthrough case of COVID-19.
