Norman Baker, ex-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 refused to participate in documentaries about her because he had no desire to trash her.

Baker said daytime television continues to feel Williams' absence. He said he declined invitations to appear in projects about her. He did not want to be involved in something that would disparage her.

His comments provide a contrast to recent portrayals. Baker said he walked away from those productions. He wanted no part in shows that put her in a bad light. He stands by that decision.
