Jason gave fans a glimpse of all the fun in his Instagram Stories, where he dubbed Wendy the “hottest date” in NYC.
“I didn’t want to come out without the sexiest date in New York City!” Jason said before panning to Wendy, who now wore black bunny ears.
He asked her for her iconic catchphrase: “How are you?”
‘How are you?’ Wendy threw back.

Speaking to TMZ upon arriving at the party, Wendy said she plans to return to television in September.
‘Naturally!’ she said when asked if she would return to her show.
“The Wendy Williams Show Lives Forever!” She added.
When asked if she would return in September, Williams enthusiastically exclaimed, “Yes! Yes! Yes!’
Wendy said in March that she was looking forward to hosting The Wendy Williams Show again, although the show’s producer and distributor announced in February that it would be cancelled.
No end date has yet been announced and the show is still running through guest presenters including Sherri Shepherd and Michael Rapaport.
Sherri will now take over Wendy with a new talk show simply titled Sherri. It’s scheduled to take over Wendy’s time slot in the fall.
Wendy has not been seen on her show since July 2021.
Wendy was also embroiled in a lawsuit with Wells Fargo after the latter prevented her from accessing her funds because she claimed she needed a guardian.
