Changes are going down behind-the-scenes on the “Wendy Wiliams Show.” And it’s speculated that it’s a result of the recent NAACP/HBCU dust up that we told you about last month.
Page Six is reporting that “Wendy” producer Jason Gabel and at least two other senior staff members were shown the door.
“The crew had a big party celebrating what they considered a season well done,” we’re told, and “the next day [some of them] got calls saying they’d been let go.”
We’re told execs want to retool the show, adding more current-affairs coverage and pop culture.
Wendy Williams found herself at the center of a furor after saying she doesn’t believe in the NAACP or historically black colleges, because there is no “white” equivalent.
She quickly apologized for the remarks.
Show reps declined to comment.
