Many people, myself included, have experienced something akin to emotional whiplash with this latest news, as if we had to speed through stages of grief while riding Kingda Ka. I was shocked when I read it and couldnt fathom what it would mean to not have Wendys trademark Wendy-isms at my beck and call. What will my day be like without a How you doooin? or her asking her audience to Clap if as a means of audience polling. Then, of course, came the pain that my friends and I shared in our group chat. I began to bargain: why cant you take all of alt-right YouTube instead, Lord? And then I began to feel the magnitude of the loss.

Its getting really hard to keep track of Disneys stance on queer issues and whether the right or left hates them at any given moment.

Yes, there will always be Wendy clips online. Classics like the confrontational Omarosa interview and the infamous What was that? reaction video have circulated far beyond the repository that was the hit daytime shows YouTube page. And of course, there are plenty of pages dedicated to making compilations that will never fail to pull a smile out of me.

But for every bop that rightfully boomerangs all over the internet, there are countless other deep cuts and B-sides that are lesser known but no less cherished. For example, theres the interview with Rita Moreno where she confesses to Wendy that she slept with Elvis Presley just to get back at Marlon Brando. Who else would Moreno tell this to!? Or take the clip where Wendy mistakenly laughs that Pete Davidsons father is not in his life before an audience member informs her that he actually died during the 9/11 World Trade Center attack. Macabre? Sure. But that was the beauty of the Wendy show. So much of the humor came from the unscalable heights of her charisma, but so much of it was also incidental. Though her show was built around gossip, the air around it was one of festivity, disarming fun and nonchalant joy. As the world turns to shit, its going to be hard to get through it without her.
