As Wendy Williams fans know, the talk show host is taking time off to tend to her hyperthyroidism and Grave’s disease.

Now Wendy, who has barely missed a show in the past, is lending her hosting duties to Jerry O’Connell. He will fill in for Wendy next week (the week of March 12), while she’s expected to return March 19.

Jerry was handpicked by Wendy, so surely he’ll bring the usual flavor to the show. But just in case she wants to continue this guest host thing, we thought we’d drop some other names that could bring the shade and gossip.

From rap stars to on-fire comedians, swipe through to find out who made the cut!

Tami Roman

Tami is reportedly already gearing up for a talk show based on her hilarious Bonnet Chronicles. She might as well get in some practice on Wendy!

50 Cent

The rap mogul already has enough to say about everything. Why not put him in the chair for Hot Topics?

Marsai Martin

The latest gossip could sting even more when coming from a shady 13-year-old. Marsai, who plays the conniving Diane on Black-ish, could get the job done.

Gabourey Sidibe

Wendy would reach whole new levels of fun with Gabby’s bubbly personality.
