Talk show host Wendy Williams will not be returning to "The Wendy Williams Show" to close out season 13, PEOPLE reported on Tuesday. At this time, it's uncertain when Williams will make her comeback as she continues to recover from various medical issues. Former "The View" co-host Sherri Shepherd will take over as a permanent guest host.
"Wendy won't be returning to the show for the rest of this season," a close source told PEOPLE. "Her healing is going slower than everyone had hoped. She continues to deal with a number of medical issues, including Graves' disease, and she and her team are taking it one day at a time."
