Wendy Williams is putting her money where her mouth is, literally. The daytime talk show host and former Dancing With the Stars competitor has launched a campaign to save “our greatest national icon,” the Twinkie. The treat, which she equates with the Grand Canyon, bald eagle and Statue of Liberty in importance, is manufactured by Hostess Brands, which filed for bankruptcy this month.

Personally, I can’t say I ever really cared for Twinkies or its Hostess siblings Ho Hos, Ding Dongs etc. I always preferred Little Debbie’s Nutty Bars and snack cakes myself. You can ioin Williams’ fight to Save the Twinkie  on Facebook and watch her video after the jump!

“We don’t know the circumstances yet, but when I first heard the story yesterday I was devastated. I have never met her, but she does incredible work and I wish her and her family well and hope that she comes back strong because her work is really unique. She’s a very courageous woman and I wish her well.
