Norman Baker, ex-producer of "The Wendy Williams Show," believes daytime television has not regained 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 had no desire to trash her.

Baker said daytime television still feels Williams' absence. He said he rejected offers to join 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 noted he distanced himself from those productions. He refused any involvement in shows that put her in a bad light. He stands by that decision.
