Norman Baker was a regular on “The Wendy Williams Show.” Having a podium behind the scenes, Baker would often correct Williams on her mistakes or offer his two cents on pop culture. When the show wrapped, Baker expressed his gratitude to the talk show host as he was torn over how the show ended. He told reporters, “It’s so bittersweet. I’m so sad but also so happy that I’m moving on to Sherri, but Wendy was the best. I will miss her so much. I’m going to really miss working with her.” Baker, who appeared to be one of her close friends, even revealed he hadn’t spoken to Williams in a while.
Baker became more private about speaking on Williams and the show as time passed. In the summer of 2022, the producer revealed to Carlos King on the “Reality with The King” podcast. “I actually don’t know what the process [of ending the show] was, or I don’t know anything about it, honestly. There were internal talks about what we were going to do and how we were going to do it. But those are decisions [that] are made above us.”
Since 2022 and Williams’ diagnosis reveal, Baker has remained hush-hush about his former boss despite having an active social media life. Many find this strange, considering how close the two seemed on and off the air, but maybe Baker will one day reveal his feelings toward Williams’ diagnosis.
