Speaking of the show's success, Fox Television Stations senior vice president of programming Frank Cicha said, "Over the last few years, ['The Wendy Williams Show' has] evolved into the ideal lead-out to our morning news blocks. Like our news, the show delivers a day/date immediacy that serves as a blueprint for where we want to be the rest of the day."
