Back during her Halloween taping in 2017, Wendy actually passed out on live television while introducing a fashion-related segment.  Her assistants and producers came to rush to her aid, and she was back on her feet by the time the commercial break came back.  Perhaps some time off can do some good for the talk show legend so these sorts of scary incidents don’t happen anymore.
