A return date has not been set, at this time.</p><p>Repeats of “The Wendy Williams Show” will air, while the show is on hiatus.</p><p>“Recently, Wendy has been dealing with symptoms from her Graves’ disease which is causing fatigue.&nbsp; In consultation with her doctor and as a precautionary measure, she will be taking some time off as she continues to receive treatment,” a spokesperson for the show says in a statement to Variety.&nbsp;“We look forward to welcoming Wendy back soon and continuing the ‘Wendy@Home’ shows. More updates on a return date will follow.”</p><p>Williams first announced to her viewers that she was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in early 2018. Graves’ disease is a condition that causes the immune system to attack the thyroid.</p><p>This isn’t the first time Williams has taken a hiatus from her hit syndicated show. In February 2018, Williams <strong>took a three-week break from the show</strong>, when she announced her diagnosis, in addition to hyperthyroidism. The host also took an extended six-week leave of absence in January 2019, due to health complications after <strong>ongoing surgery for a shoulder fracture</strong> she said she sustained the year before. In March 2019, Williams revealed through an emotional monologue during a live broadcast that she had been <strong>living in a sober house</strong>.</p><p>News of Williams’ hiatus comes as the show has hit a stride in its “Wendy@Home” remote episodes, finding a new fan of none other than comedian and fellow talk show host John Oliver, who praised Williams’ candid demeanor on his HBO show.</p><p>“The Wendy Williams Show” has been <strong>renewed by the Fox Television Stations through the 2021-2022 season</strong>, which will bring the syndicated talker through 13 seasons.</p>]]></content:encoded>
