EXCLUSIVE: DON LEMON & WENDY WILLIAMS TEAM UP FOR SHOCK TV COMEBACK!
TV’s Most Outspoken Duo Ready to Spill Tea on Their Rise, Fall, and Second Chance!
Don Lemon and Wendy Williams, two of television's most infamous ex-hosts, are joining forces for a bold new venture that’s already sending shockwaves through the industry.
Sources say the unlikely duo has been spending plenty of time brainstorming ideas for a joint show.
“They are great friends,” said an insider. “They are serious about teaming up for a new project. Don and Wendy both have big personalities and love the idea of shaking things up on TV again.”
This isn’t the first time Wendy tried to pull Don into her orbit. When Williams was unable to host her talk show due to health issues, she lobbied for Lemon to fill in for her. But CNN, where Lemon was a primetime anchor at the time, nixed the idea.
“It wasn’t a good look for a news organization to have Don host a gossip-heavy talk show,” said a former network executive.
Now, with Lemon no longer tied to CNN after his highly publicized firing, there’s no stopping him.
“Don has nothing to lose at this point, and Wendy is egging him on every step of the way,” added the source.
Industry whispers suggest the pair could be shopping the concept to networks soon, with a pitch promising a mix of hard-hitting interviews, hot topics, and the kind of unpredictable energy only Don and Wendy could bring to the table.
