Peacock is digging into the well-mined world of former radio host and TV talk show star Wendy Williams, greenlighting the three-part documentary “Clap If You Care: The Wendy Williams Show” (which is a working title) to air in 2027.

Williams is not involved in the new docuseries, but her former producer is spearheading the project. As part of its announcement, Peacock confirmed that long-running “The Wendy Williams” show executive producer Susanne Bass, who ran that syndicated strip for 13 seasons, will also executive produce the documentary.
