Wendy Williams is set to make a rare public appearance this week as the former talk show host sits down for an interview with the hosts of The View.

Williams’ episode airs this Friday, March 14 at 11 a.m. ET/PT on ABC and marks her first television interview since she was reportedly removed from her assisted living facility for a mental evaluation this week. It’s not clear whether the TV personality will appear in-person at the ABC studios in New York or if she’ll be dialing in (some reports have leaned towards the latter).

And while The View panel features Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro and Alyssa Farah Griffin, Goldberg is normally absent from Friday dates, and is not expected to be part of Williams’ episode.

Want to watch Wendy Williams’ appearance on The View? You can watch The View on TV through your local ABC affiliate with a digital antenna, or with any basic cable package.

You can also livestream The View online without cable using a streaming service like Fubo or DirecTV Stream. Both streamers carry a live feed of ABC that you watch from home on your TV, phone, computer or tablet. Even better: both Fubo and DirecTV Stream offer free trials that you can take advantage of to watch Wendy Williams on The View online free.

Fubo’s free trial includes free DVR, so you can record Williams’ View episode to watch back on-demand later. Since The View is a daily live talk show, the episode is not expected to repeat or replay on air.

Williams has been relatively missing from the public eye ever since she was put under a guardianship a few years ago (the host and former radio DJ has compared it to feeling like she’s “in prison”). Her eponymous daytime talk show, The Wendy Williams Show, meantime, finished its run in 2022.

Though she is expected to speak to the hosts of The View live on air, Friday’s show won’t be the first time fans have seen the star on TV in recent years — the Lifetime documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams? premiered to huge ratings last spring, giving viewers a glimpse into Williams’ life under her financial conservatorship. It also documented her health journey, after Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, a brain condition that affects memory and mobility. Williams was an executive producer on the documentary along with her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.
