The Time WENDY WILLIAMS Confronted a Radio Programmer Who Refused to Hire Her

#wendywilliams Early on, in Wendy Williams’s career, when she was young and just starting out, she was eager to find work in the radio business. One of the most respected program directors in the industry, Elroy Smith, who still works in radio today, was approached by Wendy with what we call an “air check,” which is a summary of her work on the air. Apparently, he didn't see hiring her as a great opportunity for whatever station he was at at the time, and she never forgot the rejection. Here she gets to confront him about not hiring her when she was amid her success and how it affected her as a young talent. This all happened during the midst of her success on the Wendy Williams show.
