Wendy Williams fainted during Tuesdays live airing ofThe Wendy Williams Show.

Midway through her introduction, her voice cracked and her eyes widened as she stumbled backward before suddenly collapsing.

The show immediately cut to commercial.

That was not a stunt, she said.

I overheated in my costume and I did pass out.

But, you know what?

Im a champ and Im back!

Ms. Williams fainted on-air this morning.

She is dehydrated and is on her way home for a good day and nite of sleep.

She has been examined by medical professionals and is well.

She is ok and will continue as shows as planned.

She has never missed a day of work and is looking forward on November 13th to her 1500th show.
