Norman Baker, ex-producer of "The Wendy Williams Show," believes daytime television is missing the host's irreverence. In a new interview, Baker defended Williams' legacy. He said he turned down documentaries about her because he would not take part in trashing her.

Baker said daytime television has not escaped Williams' absence. He said he turned down offers to appear in projects about her. He did not want to be involved in something that would disparage her.

His comments offer a counterpoint to recent portrayals. Baker explained he stayed away from those productions. He wanted no part in shows that put her in a bad light. He has not changed his stance.
