In this excerpt of a longer, in-depth interview with the WSJ, Daytime celebrity talk show queen Wendy Williams talks to the Wall Street Journal's Lee Hawkins about how she slept in her car in order to work several jobs as a radio host early in her career, and the hard lessons that made her tough enough to last more than 20 years in the radio business.

People can judge wendy all they want, but goddamn this woman worked her ass off to get what she wanted and where she is now. Truly an inspiration.

@ranabates1477 5 лет назад

habbogigi Absolutely.... Yet she is a disappointment for Black Women.... We all make choices. She made hers, and how we see her is a result of her actions. I used to be highly inspired by her, so trust me I understand.

it's funny how Wendy is leading this interview and she's the one being interviewed! her personality is huge and she just dominates which I love

@feeq6001 9 лет назад

Wendy really worked hard to get to where she is now.

@MrTlbxxx 9 лет назад

fee q Worked hard by being a nasty bitch. These people are disgusting, no matter how hard they work. And guess what, they usually very unhappy!

@feeq6001 9 лет назад

But you sound unhappy yourself !!!

@MrTlbxxx 9 лет назад

fee q LOL You have made me laugh. 1) What do I have to do with this? 2) Second, I am one of the happiest persons on earth. That is why I know what I am talking about. Stop admiring arrogant, ugly and bitches.

@feeq6001 9 лет назад

And now I smell bitterness,hatred and jealousy coming from this stranger/stalker. You sound very bossy and arrogant yourself. You have no right to tell me who to admire or how to live my life. If you hate Wendy so much man up and say all those negative words boiling inside you and hatred to her face. You do you, I am not wasting my precious energy with a negative person like you. Keep in mind I didn't ask for your participation in the first place .So if you are really Happy as stated then take a chill pill and BYE Felicia.

She's a very smart woman that worked hard to make it happen for her. Mad respect

@gaia-xn1gv 9 лет назад

I know she's had work done and I know people love to call her ugly, but I think she's pretty. I admire that she is a self made women. She is honest about herself, determined, opinionated, knows where she stands. I've had fun watching her interviews these past few days and seeing a different side of her.

@ShaunteNickeeRose 9 лет назад

Went through the comments and was amazed to see how many people missed out on the message, all because they were so focused on her hair, make up and voice.

@Patrick3183 8 лет назад

This was a fabulous interview Wendy was not only talking slowly and calmly but she was saying really smart things and I really learned about her in depth knowledge of radio and her passion for it

@iamdsmith__ 7 лет назад

8:20 Wendy is hilarious... She wanted to say "How you doing!" lol

@catsonly4805 9 лет назад

No matter what money a person has, or ends up with, true success for yourself is achieving your dream/ Wendy has done that. She always wanted to be in radio, and now she's a show host. She does what she loves, and proved everyone wrong. To achieve a dream, you have to be persistant with yourself.

@Madonnaist 9 лет назад

Primadonna Magazine loves Wendy Williams!! We ARE SO PROUD OF HER! "You have to believe in your self and work hard!" THAT'S HOW YOU BECOME AN OVER NIGHT SUCCESS! Great interview Lee Hawkins!!!

@ESP-lx6qt 7 лет назад

Wendy is not dumb by any means.. she started from the bottom and worked hard to get to where she's at.. Wendy Williams net worth as of 2016 = $60M hate all you want but it's not affecting her one bit, just making you sound dumb for hating on a woman you don't even no. Like you have nothing better to do than hate on Wendy? either way she's still making that $$$$$$ with that being said she's noty favorite but I can respect her for her achievements. #HowYouDoing? #HowYouHating?

Wendy is a woman of a particular age.

@VeNuS2910 9 лет назад

Wendy is right. there are lots of people who graduated with Mass Communication degree who can't even construct a good sentence. and people seem to look at you in a weird way and laugh when you tell them your dreams. what is wrong with the world? i can relate so much to this. and she is so candid, strong headed, straight forward, and i like her.

@Mindset973 5 лет назад

Who don't love wendy, then she follow her dream. It paid off big time 🙌

Who paid her rent while she was making her minimum wage part time radio jobs while she was living in one of the highest cost of living areas in the country before she made it big?

@phillipsmom6252 7 лет назад

What a cute story. I loved my cassette tape recorder and transistor radio when I was growing up too.

@mwamussa 4 года назад

her personal life is a mess. How hilarious! And most likely, drugs will take her out. She failed at Life 101 - Love Yourself. LOL!

@Miumiu0404 8 лет назад

I love her in this interview. I love hearing her talk passionately about radio. It's a different side of Wendy that we usually see in TV. She really knows her stuff, has set a goal and worked hard for it. I envy her because at her young age, she knew exactly what she wanted to be. Bravo Wendy!

@AtomicKitten666 6 лет назад

I absolutely love your story I have been watching you in the beginning of your TV programs when you first started and I have not stopped I am a fan of yours and I don't say that about too many people died of the stars in Hollywood if you look me up on RU-vid you'll see that I really cut their asses down but I do like you end and I wish you the best and can't wait for you to get back to work cuz no one can ever take your place I thought Rona Barrett was I thought they didn't get no better than her but yeah you are.

@missshannon9790 6 лет назад

Bothers me how it was other Black People who fired her. Sistas too! Folks been hatin on Wendy her whole career.

@JustBree716 3 года назад

Has nothing to do with black. Black is not a religion. God had a path laid out and Wendy had determination. U just dont get it. What does black have to do with anything?

@xxxxmimi 3 года назад

Just curious --- Why did Ms. Hugh fire Wendy for giving 2 weeks notice? and she said she learned a lesson from that...what was the lesson? Anyways ---- You hear her talk and it's clear that she was meant to be a talk show host -- whether on radio or on TV. People can say whatever about her but you cannot deny that she is a talented and articulate communicator, hard worker and very smart. And I happen to think she's one of the realest person on TV.

She really does deserve success. Just be nice if it wasn't capitalizing on celebrity gossip and celebrity drama.

@thenicestpersonafteryou1533 8 лет назад

Why does she say she did not have a nose job when it is so obvious ! Ridiculous to lie about it.A liar once a liar always, unfortunatly.

@elsagrace3893 8 лет назад

She did not have a nose job. I as a little surprised too but she didn't have one. She has a very unique natural look.

@thenicestpersonafteryou1533 8 лет назад

90% of entertainers have had a nose job darling, that does not make them bad people, it is just the way it is. Almost 100% of african americans women on television have, from Hallé Berry, to beyonce, destiny child etc etc I should name the ones who have not had one. Whitney Houston ! www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=891174image328.jpg

@elsagrace3893 8 лет назад

***** it's obvious that she did not by looking at her childhood pictures all the way up to present. She did lose fat in her face due to aging and weight loss. I believe she has some brow Botox because the middle of the brows used to raise all the time. Now they don't.

@thenicestpersonafteryou1533 8 лет назад

Ho well ! LOL ;-)
