Wendy farewell not so fond

IT’S hard to say goodbye to Wendy Williams for some staffers at her eponymous talk show, while others are ready to move on with Sherri Shepherd.

“There’s talk [of how to say goodbye] and a lot of people on staff feel like there should be a tribute to [Wendy] or some kind of farewell,” an insider revealed to Page Six.

But, at the end of the day, “It’s her show and she’s not there for it,” they added.

The insider insists that staffers are angling for her to return for one last show because “they have all these fond memories.”

“People want her to come back . . . A lot of people — especially the mid- and low-level producers — signed up for the job because of Wendy. It feels like it’s just going to end [without her]. It’s weird,” they said.

Meanwhile, another source told us that staffers are still traumatized over Williams’ allegedly erratic behavior in recent years.

“There have been days where people thought they wouldn’t have a job because she wouldn’t show up to work, so this idea that there’s some conundrum? No,” they said.

Shepherd will inherit most of Williams’ production staff. “She held the fate of almost 125 staffers’ ability to care for their families [in her hands]. They’re glad they finally have some security in their life [with Shepherd’s show],” they added.

While it’s not confirmed, Shepherd is expected to guest host the last episodes of Williams’ show, which “makes it awkward because she’s the one replacing her,” the first source said.

Williams’ final episode is slated to air June 17, and a third insider confirmed: “Sherri is returning to guest host, but the last day of production is not set.” Reps did not get back to us.

Williams told the US Sun, she “would love the chance to actually speak with Sherri and sit down and meet.”

Our first insider quipped: “Save it for September,” when Shepherd’s show debuts.
