“The Wendy Williams Show” has joined the list of shows canceling live audience tapings amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, the show said Tuesday.

“Wendy values her co-hosts and their daily participation but in light of the current health climate, The Wendy Williams Show will not have a live studio audience until further notice,” a spokesperson for the show said in a statement. “We will continue to produce a daily live talk show and look forward to welcoming the studio audience back when the time is right.”

The decision comes a day after “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” producer Sony Pictures Television similarly opted to stop taping in front of a live audience until further notice.
