“It was an amazing two days. It was kinda like your birthday for two days in a row,” Williams toldEntertainment Tonightafter her hosting run. “It was amazing.”
“It’s the dream job, it is,” Williams said. “Ever since I was 12 years old, and I always wanted to be an attorney, so seeing Star Jones in that seat and showing what one could do on a national platform, with that background of law and social justice, integrating it with politics and pop culture, from a woman’s perspective, it was an honor.”
She told the outlet that she’s hoping the guest stint will turn into something more permanent.
“The goal, you know, like any other job audition, or interview, right? Do well enough to be invited back,” she said. “So, that’s my prayer.”
As for whether she would leaveRHONY,though, Williams said she “would not choose” between the two shows.

Executive producer Brian Teta previously told PEOPLE that the show isn’t in any rush to fill McCain’s seat.
“This is such an important seat for us to fill at the table so we’re going to ‘take a little time’ to make sure we find the right fit,” he said in a statement. “It goes back toBarbara Walters' original direction – different women with different views. It’s essential that the audience can relate to different points of View at our table.”
