Peacock greenlights a three-part documentary about Wendy Williams and her daytime talk show, titled “Clap If You Care: The Wendy Williams Show” (working title). The project focuses on Williams’ rise and the cultural impact of her syndicated show, which ended in 2022, and it also addresses controversy and the challenges faced by a celebrity media figure.
Multiple outlets report that Williams is not involved in the documentary. Instead, the series is led by people connected to the original program. Deadline and Variety describe Suzzanne Bass—an executive producer on “The Wendy Williams Show” who appeared on camera reacting to Williams’ remarks—as playing a key role in spearheading the project. The Hollywood Reporter frames the doc as both a celebratory account of the talk show and a cautionary look at celebrity.
Across the coverage, the main differences are emphasis rather than facts: one outlet highlights the dual tone as celebration and warning, while others underscore the production leadership and the lack of Williams’ participation. All agree on Peacock’s commitment to the series and its planned 2027 release.
