Williams has taken multiple health-related breaks from the show in the past, most recently in early 2019.

Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism and can result in fatigue and muscle weakness, as well as pain and inflammation around the eyes. Williams first revealed her diagnosis in 2018, after several on-air incidents in which she appeared to lose focus or slur her words. Shortly after, she took a three-week break from the show.

Like other talk show hosts, Wendy Williams has been taping an at-home version of her show since April.
