*Cynthia Nixon, the “Sex and the City” star currently running for governor of New York, has chosen to grant her first television sit-down interview to Wendy Williams, Variety reports.

The actress will visit “The Wendy Williams Show” on Wednesday, April 4.

“We win by getting her in front of voters, because we actually want them to see the real Cynthia,” Nixon’s campaign spokesperson Rebecca Katz told Variety. “And that’s what we get with Wendy. Her viewers are a large and crucial part of the electorate, and her show reaches all corners of the state.”

Williams’ gossip-based show usually keeps politics at arm’s length, opting to focus solely on celebrity dish and pop culture. But the New York-based program averages up to 2 million viewers a day and is among the most-watched throughout the state, including in New York City, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.

In an effort to unseat two-term Democratic governor Andrew Cuomo, Nixon has adopted a populist press strategy, relying on channels that state politicians don’t normally use. She recently gave a lengthy print interview to Glamour.

Nixon last appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” in 2012, where she talked about “Sex and the City” and playing a cancer survivor in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Wit.” Watch above.
