Memorabilia From ‘Wendy Williams Show’ to be Trashed After Finale Episode

*“The Wendy Williams Show” came to an on Friday after 13 years on the air. Now comes word that several set props and memorabilia will be tossed in the trash.

“The wigs are still there since she didn’t come and get them so they’re being thrown out,” a source told The Sun, noting that Wendy’s “Big Purple Chair” will be trashed rather than donated or auctioned off to the fans.

Per Page Six, “Wendy” show staffers wanted to bring her back for the finale.

“People want her to come back. … A lot of people — especially the mid- and low-level producers — signed up for the job because of Wendy. It feels like it’s just going to end [without her]. It’s weird,” an insider shared in May,
