Everyday on station 107.5 in the New York/ New Jersey area, a woman named Wendy Williams hosts a radio show called The Wendy Williams Experience. Wendy is the Queen of the Radio and some people view her as the African American, female Howard Stern. From 2-7 in our area, Wendy is on talking about whatever comes to her mind and whatever her viewers call in with. Yesterday, when I was listening to her show early in the afternoon, they were talking about a rapper friend they found out had passed away yesterday afternoon. During the show, Wendy's sidekick Charlamagne stopped her in the middle of a conversation with a viewer to inform her of the death. When Wendy found out that rapper Pimp C from the Underground Kingz had passed away at the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles she was upset but the show must go on. A couple of minutes later one of her listeners called in saying that he probably died of an overdose because most black men were drug addicts and alcoholics in the listener's opinion. Well Wendy disagreed with this woman's point of view saying that it was a very broad generalization. Wendy talks about all topics so even though her show is not explicitly political, at times she will discuss politics or issues that are extremely important in most peoples lives.
My favorite thing about Wendy is that she, like Howard Stern, is not afraid to speak her mind even if people will not like what she is saying. She is known for gossiping about many celebrities about anything and everything, which makes her so entertaining. However, she probably is not a good example to young women about how to live their lives except that she is extremely successful and self-made. She was able to accomplish everything she has accomplished because she worked hard. However, she is always talking about her insanely expensive pocketbooks and shoes. She is a crazy woman and she is extremely entertaining.
