The former co-host of “The View,” Sherri Shepherd, is returning to daytime. Variety reports she will be launching her talk show, which has officially received the green light for national syndication and will premiere on Sept. 12.
The new show, “Sherri,” will appear in more than 97% of the country, with the Fox TV stations as its core station group. Her program is described as a “daily dose” of pop culture, comedy, conversations, and a plentiful supply of daytime talk staples, including celebrity and human interest interviews.”
“September 12th can’t get here fast enough,” Shepherd said. “Hosting my own talk show is a dream come true, and I’m so excited to take viewers on this joyous journey.
“My new show will be something truly fun and fresh, a daily hour of entertainment escapism with plenty of laughter, fun, and flirtiness as I give my take on pop culture. And I’m so glad to have such an awesome senior production team helping to make this magic a reality.”
Furthermore, the show will fill the time slots on the Fox stations previously inhabited by “The Wendy Williams Show,” which aired its last episode a week ago after 13 seasons.
“Sherri is a great fit for the daytime audience because she relates to people in such a natural way,” David Perler, executive producer and showrunner of “Sherri,” said.
“Having worn so many hats over the years between her career, motherhood, her fitness journey, and other accomplishments, Sherri brings a mix of fun, laughter, and valuable, authentic advice to viewers.”
