Sherri Shepherd will be returning to The Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday after undergoing emergency surgery for appendicitis.
The actress and comedian uploaded a video on the show’s official Instagram account Monday, letting viewers know she is eager to get back to work.
“Hi everybody. I am right here at New York City’s Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and I just had an emergency appendectomy. I don’t know here it came from, all of a sudden I was in a great deal of pain. I came here to get some Metamucil and they said ‘We gotta take out your appendix right away,’” Shepherd said while sitting in a hospital bed and wearing a gown.
After thanking the medical staff, she continued: “I will be back tomorrow, ‘How you doin’? So grab a snack and come on back, without an appendix of course.”

Shepherd is scheduled to host the rest of the week, and taped a recent promo dubbed “Merry Sherri Week.” She will then be back to host from Jan. 24 – 28.
As previously reported, Wendy Williams is on medical leave after contracting a breakthrough case of COVID-19 and complications from her previous diagnosis of Graves’ Disease.
The daytime diva has not hosted a single episode since the show’s 13th season began in October.
