In the court of public opinion, The Wendy Williams Show has been reigning for some time.

Now in sixth season, the daytime talker routinely pulls in more ratings than its more “traditional” competition such as ‘Ellen’ and ‘The View.’

Said shows most certainly have to watch out now, because the series appears to have found favor amongst critics too, who have nominated ‘Wendy’ for two Daytime Emmy Awards.

Details below…

It was revealed this week that the series is up for Outstanding Talk Show (Entertainment) and Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. 

The nominations come as quite coup for Team Williams, because it had long been assumed that, despite the ratings, the show’s gossipy tone and the outlandish antics of its host meant critical acclaim was unlikely. Clearly, many have been proven wrong.

Watch the former shock jock’s reaction to the news below…

Congrats!

In a sea of seriousness, the ‘Wendy’ show manages to serve up light-hearted fun and tea aplenty in an oh so entertaining way. More power to all involved!

The Daytime Emmy Awards airs April 26th at 8pm on Pop.
