Norman Baker, the former producer of "The Wendy Williams Show," insists daytime television is missing the host's irreverence. In a new interview, Baker stood up for Williams' legacy. He said he would not appear in documentaries about her because he did not want to be involved in trashing her.

Baker said daytime television continues to feel Williams' absence. He said he turned down offers to appear in projects about her. He did not want to participate in anything that would disparage her.

His comments provide a contrast to recent portrayals. Baker said he walked away from those productions. He refused any involvement in shows that put her in a bad light. He has held that position.
