I just have to comment on the bday show. Happy belated bday wendy ! Wish you many more loved your giest today T0 is so sexy and confidant. Yet humble and sweet. Luv him. But I really wanted to speak on the kid chef, what a gem. I don’t have children yet but I am certain now I want a boy. Seeing this kid with you today was so cute. I do hope you have him on again. And wendy your son is adorable also and your parents must have their own show.

I think this young man was amazing — intelligent, personable, and interesting — he needs to consider Morehouse College where they will really nurture and help him develop into his fullest potential. Wendy’s shows are great. Really refreshing. She’s just herself — funny, honest, and larger than life! Good show, Wendy! Your parents are adorable and you’ve got a good son there!
And Darian’s mom and Darian, I really want you to look into Morehouse — perfect school for Darian’s kind of talent and energy. All the best, and KUDOS to both moms for raising great kids — Darian’s mom and Wendy with Kev!

I just saw a little boy cooking on the Wendy Show, I just wanted to say how proud I am of this young man and I don’t even know him. He was quite intelligent and very funny. He sort of reminded me of Will Smith. Great show today. And Wendy you look wonderful for 46.

Darian Davis is a little star in the making. Does he have a children’s cook book out yet? If he does I would love to buy it for my son.

We made this on the weekend, My husband loved grilling the meats on the kabob delicious!. And the pink lady was very satisfying after the kakob. not alot of sugar very natural clean dessert. Kids can make this and eat vegetables and fruit instead of that awful fattening McDonalds.

I really wish more kids would have a plan for their life and strive for academics and education. So many of our youth today have fallen down and the parents are mostly to blame. They have checked out on their kids by going to clubs and setting poor examples. I hope parents of young boys seen Darian Davis on your show fri, he is an example of greatness in the making. Confident and poised. Parents start by telling your boys to pull their pants up on their behinds and go to school! Education is a necessary. Darian Davis I hope to see you back on the show or other shows. I will be checking your website.

This 12 year old young man was awesome! I sure hope his appearance on The Wendy Williams Show leads to future business opportunities. He had personality, charm, and wit and was quick on feet. His presentation was extremely professional. He was also articulate and highly intelligent. Quite impressive! His mother should have been very proud!

Dear Wendy- first, a very Happy Birthday! You look like “you doin” just fine. Many happy returns of the day. I too am a total wreck before my mamogram. I know everything will be fine for you. I will keep you in my prayers. Recently, my daughter-in-law ran into you in Michael’s craft store. My son and his family live in Livingston New Jersey and I have seen you in the Short Hills Mall as well. My daughter-in-law and I watch your show all the time. Keep up the great work. You are so informative and your guests are really genuine and sincere. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Linda
