In a new Instagram post, Williams briefly reflected on a year full of health issues and career drama. The former host of "The Wendy Williams Show" shared her thoughts in an Instagram video she posted on Sunday.

"Hey! Happy holidays! 'Tis the season for the winter," Williams said joyfully in the clip, which featured her sitting on a beige-colored king-sized chair.

"I'm just happy to be here and to be, well, happy to be here," added Williams, seemingly informing fans that she was doing well after her stint in rehab, where she went to manage her overall health issues,

The clip also served as a promotion post for the merchandise for her forthcoming podcast, "The Wendy Experience," as a link was added to direct fans to a website where they can buy sweatshirts and baseball caps that include several of her most well-known catchphrases, including "How you doin'?"

Following the post, fans of Williams took to the comment section to tell her that they were anticipating her podcast.

One fan said, "We miss you, Wendy. We need you back on our airwaves.. many blessings to you, patiently awaiting your return."

Another follower said, "Can't wait for the podcast Merry Christmas Wendy."

Some other fans then opined that the former show host was in good health for months.

One follower wrote, "I'm glad she's taking her time and hopefully getting better!!! Merry Christmas Wendy, while another penned, "Now that looks, and sounds like the old Wendy. Girl stay on track it suits you."

Since finishing a two-month treatment term for alcohol consumption in October, Williams has been slowly returning to the public spotlight. She recently made an appearance at the annual Circle of Sisters event hosted by her old radio station WBLS.

At the time, Williams opened up about falling in love again, explaining how she wanted a relationship without marriage ties.

"The first thing I look at when I see men is, 'Are they wearing the finger?' 'Cause if they're wearing the finger, then that's an immediate hello, but I would love… I can't wait to fall in love, and I don't want to get married," the media personality said via New York Post.

She then touched on the qualities she expects to see in her man.

"I want him to have already had kids," Williams added. "I want him to be someplace between, someplace around my age, you know, maybe 10 years younger than me, and maybe 15 years older than me, you know what I mean?"

While Williams is now making final arrangements to launch her eponymous podcast, she was previously the host of "The Wendy Williams Show," starring as its anchor for over a decade.

It was one of the most popular syndicated talk shows on TV throughout its tenure, averaging millions of viewers each day. It was nominated for several awards, including 14 Daytime Emmy nods, taking home one win.

The last episode was aired on June 17, 2022. However, most TV stations continued to screen repeats until September 9.

Later, "The Wendy Williams Show" was replaced by "Sherri," which was also eponymously titled after its host, Sherri Shepherd, who handled Williams' previous show while she was away attending to her health and personal concerns.
