Wendy Williams is ready to make her grand comeback!

After a near three-month hiatus, the Wendy Williams Show announced that their host will be returning to her famed hot seat next month. "Wendy Williams is an incredible talent with the most unique voice in daytime,” Debmar-Mercury, the distributor and producer of the show, said in a statement. “We can’t wait to welcome her back to her iconic purple chair on the set of her show on Monday, March 4th."

"We so appreciate all of the guest hosts and panelists who filled in for Wendy during this time," the statement continued. "These people are, and always will be, true family to the show. And we want to thank all of the loyal and supportive fans who have been with us for 10 years now. And of course, we thank our station and business partners, who stepped up in such a supportive way."

Nick Cannon, and other celebs, have filled in as temporary hosts of the show while Wendy has been away. As fans know, Wendy was hospitalized for a third time earlier this month reportedly due to complications stemming from her Graves’ disease, delaying her talk show return.

Wendy fractured her shoulder in December and then worried fans with her on-air behavior. Shorty after sustaining her injury, she slurred her words on-air and seemed out of it during an interview, which led her to issue an apology to her viewers. Since apologizing last month, blaming a bad reaction to pain medication for her "performance," Wendy has delayed her return twice. It was originally slated to return shortly after the New Year, however, it was pushed back to January 14, then the 21st in order to allow Wendy time to heal.
