Remy Ma and Fat Joe were featured guest hosts on "The Wendy Williams Show," where the two reacted to an unexpected joke during with a cooking segment with guest chef Evette Rios.
Chef Rios, as she prepared some of her favorite Puerto Rican dishes for the segment "Puerto Rican Thanksgiving," dropped the joke as she passed some plantains to Remy, who was elected to help with the cooking while Fat Joe chose to be the taste-taster.
“Let’s start with some green plantain, I know you like big plantains, Remy,” said Rios as she passed one over to Remy.
In shock, Remy turns to her husband, Papoose, who was sitting in the audience.
“Pap, what did you tell this lady?” asked Remy, to an amused audience. “She’s been talking to my husband, guys. I’m sorry.”
Fat Joe added in, “Papoose, a slight compliment on TV… They heard about it in Oklahoma.”
Fat Joe and Remy Ma were announced as guest hosts to the longstanding show during the November 23 and 24th broadcasts, after Williams announced that she was taking some time for her health. Earlier in the year, the host announced that she has been struggling through a long battle with Graves' Disease, as well as a thyroid condition.
A statement released by The Wendy Williams' Show reads:
"Wendy continues to be under medical supervision and meets with her medical team on a daily basis. She is making progress but is experiencing serious complications as a direct result of Graves’ Disease and her thyroid condition.
"It has been determined that more time is needed before she is able to return to her live hosting duties. We want her health to be her top priority."
Until further news, Williams' replacement for the show in December is set to be Sherri Shepherd. It is unknown if Shepherd will be the show's permanent host henceforth, an announcement is expected to be made after the show's return from hiatus in January.
