Wendy Williams has a lot to celebrate tonight, as her talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, has just been renewed through 2017. In other words, look forward for 4 more seasons of gossip, real talk, and pure entertainment.

“The Wendy Williams Show has as much momentum as any show on our air right now, both qualitatively and quantitatively,” Frank Cicha, senior VP of programming for the FOX Television Stations, says in a statement to MSN.

That is due mostly to the fact that, instead of going on hiatus / repeats over the summer, Wendy Williams is doing live shows all throughout.

Above is the trailer for the new summer season, which premiered on June 3.

“Over the last few years, it's evolved into the ideal lead-out to our morning news blocks. Like our news, the show delivers a day/date immediacy that serves as a blueprint for where we want to be the rest of the day,” Cicha adds.
