Wendy Williams and Andy Cohen will bring their hosting skills to NYWIFT’s Muse Awards on December 12 at the New York Hilton. These two multitalented TV stars are going to make it a one fantastic afternoon.

Williams’ bio describes her as “mother, wife, media mogul, entrepreneur, performer, and best-selling author.” Now that’s a resume! The Hollywood Reporter considers her one of the 35 Most Powerful People in Media, while The New York Times called The Wendy Williams Show a “breakthrough in daytime.” The show has been renewed through 2017.

Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live on Bravo has also been renewed. He’s mastered today’s media model: WWHL started online before migrating to TV. Cohen also has a hand in the successful The Real Housewives franchise.

Frances Berwick, president of Bravo and Oxygen Media President and a 2013 Muse Awards honoree, recently told Deadline Hollywood that “Andy has influenced the course and the shape of Bravo tremendously over the past 10 years as a production and development executive, and as creator and host of our flagship late night show, becoming the face of the network.”
