A tearful Wendy Williams returned to the set of her morning talk show, nearly a month after health issues forced her off the air.
"So it’s really good to be back. Nice to be missed," she said as her studio audience stood and applauded. "Thank you for not replacing us. Thank you for being here today."
Williams joked about her "three weeks of house arrest."
"I was tired of TV," she said. "How many times can you fix the same throw pillow?"
But she got teary-eyed while thanking her show staff for being there in her absence. "Thank you for being my special people," she said.
"I pressed the reset button on everything in my life," Williams told the audience, before launching into "hot topics," her signature gossip roundup.
But her health was never far from her mind. Williams welcomed Dr. Mehmet Oz as her first guest and found herself tearing up again as she recalled how her husband, Kevin Hunter, reached out to the cardiac surgeon and television personality after her doctors told her she needed time off.
"When I heard Kevin on the phone with you, I was like wow," Williams told Oz.
