Norman Baker, the former producer of "The Wendy Williams Show," believes daytime television is missing the host's irreverence. In a new interview, Baker championed Williams' legacy. He said he refused to participate in documentaries about her because he did not want to be involved in trashing her.
Baker said daytime television still feels Williams' absence. He said he rejected offers to join projects about her. He did not want to participate in anything that would disparage her.
His comments push back against recent portrayals. Baker noted he distanced himself from those productions. He refused any involvement in shows that put her in a bad light. He stands by that decision.
