In February, Wendy Williams shocked fans after announcing she was taking a break from her hit talk show, and revealed she suffers from Graves’ disease, which is an immune system disorder. She also suffers from hyperthyroidism. At the time, she said she would take three weeks off her show, with reruns playing, but now it’s been revealed she is going to have a guest host, after initially being adamant about not having one.
Watch to find out who is substituting for her while she is out!
Wendy will be returning to the air March 19, and in the meantime, she tweeted that actor Jerry O’Connell will be the guest host.
“Hey @MrJerryOC thanks for being my guest host while I’m out getting some much needed rest. See you all Monday, March 19th! XOX, Wendy.”
In a statement, she added, “Jerry has been such a good friend to me and to the show. “We’re happy to welcome him as a guest host while I’m out getting much needed rest. Can’t wait to get back in my purple chair!”

Wendy’s hiatus comes after she canceled shows in February due to “flu-ish” symptoms.
After visiting the doctor, she revealed to fans she suffers from thyroid issues, and explained that “Graves’ disease squeezes the muscles behind the eyeballs,” which made her eyeballs twitch.
She attributed the symptoms to her focusing on her son Kevin’s senior year of high school on top of her heavy workload.
