After filming without an audience this week, “The Wendy Williams Show” is taking its coronavirus precautions further — by shutting down production indefinitely.
“To Our Dedicated Wendy Show Staff,” a statement released to the team began, “the safety and well-being of our employees is our top priority. Considering the current escalation of the Coronavirus, production will be put on hold, indefinitely. However, the office will remain open for you to pick up any materials or personal items.
“In place of live shows we will air repeats and we will continue to monitor the situation with the CDC and city officials to determine the best time to return and produce live shows again. Thank you for everything you do and please stay safe!”
A spokesperson for the daytime hit announced Tuesday that the show would be filming without Wendy’s “co-hosts” — aka her live studio audience.
Other daytime staples such as ABC’s “The View” and “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” are also taping without studio audiences because of the coronavirus outbreak.
