While she says she misses the "electricity" of "The Wendy Williams Show" studio audience, Williams believes her years spent as a radio host prepared her well for talking into the ether. As she continues to host her syndicated talk show from home amid the coronavirus pandemic, that's the only skill she really needs. "If it wasn't for radio, I could not do this quarantine thing from home thing properly," Williams tells CNN."I've so enjoyed this 11, going on 12 years, of doing the talk show with the studio and hundreds of people and clapping and the immediate response. I've so enjoyed that, but it is much easier for me as a host to be here at home, with no audience, because it's always been about description. You know, I've been a radio host longer than I've been a TV host, so yes, right. Thank God for radio."At first, Williams was reluctant to film the show at home, she says, because she considers her home space sacred. Plus, she wasn't digging the look of seeing other TV personalities in their homes. "Looking disgusting," she laughs.

He rings her bell, films the show and then it goes to post-production. All she has to do is show up in her own kitchen and talk."I have the same person come over every single day. He's on time. He flips the switches, he sits over there, away from me. We get it done," she says. "Then my computer shows a whole gang of people from production."As for wardrobe and glam, Williams has been sifting deep though her own closet, choosing between colorful robes and comfortable tops. She is good at doing her own hair and makeup, she says, another skill she attributes to her time in radio. "I've got a closet galore, right?" she says. "I pull out a robe and you know, sit in my chair and I've got my stuff around me and I'm a natural. It's like I am born to do exactly what I'm doing. So, this is not a stretch for me."Williams says she's in a positiRead More – Source
