Notes from Nathan: When we met Wendy


t had been a cold and rainy weekend.  Due to the weather, I allowed myself to completely shut down.  The television was my entertainment.  I found myself watching outdated movies on Lifetime, remember they used to call it television for women?

Monday came around and it was off to the races.  Dwight and I were finally going to have the opportunity to be on the set of The Wendy Williams Show.  Neither of us knew what to expect.  We had it in our minds how we wanted it to go, but of course we were on someone else's time.  We got there just as Wendy wrapped her show for the day.  We were ushered over to her where her make up and hair stylist fussed over her prior to her time with us.  Everything happened so fast.  It was our hope to get at least 6 minutes with her, but that was chopped in half.  Never the less, Dwight jumped in and seized the day with that charm that only Dwight Allen O'neal can deliver.  I could tell he felt rushed, but it worked out in the end.

After Wendy, the staff and crew set the stage and allowed me to interview Merrell Hollis, Wendy's make-up artist.  The interview was great!  Merrell talked about how he met Wendy as well as what he thought about a few celebrities and their make up.  Ooh the scandal.  It was a great deal of fun, we shared a few laughs and concluded our interview.
