Deadline

“Jerry has been such a good friend to me and to the show,” said Williams of her first guest-host in her show's nine-year history. “We’re happy to welcome him as a guest host while I’m out getting much needed rest. Can’t wait to get back in my purple chair!” O'Connell will fill in during the week leading up to Williams' return.
