Sherri Shepherd Replaces Wendy Williams
Sherri Shepherd will launch her own daytime talk show in fall 2022, Variety has learned. The new syndicated series, titled Sherri, will slide into the Fox O&O time slots that are currently held by The Wendy Williams Show, as the hit gossip queen, Wendy Williams, continues to be in recovery for health-related issues.
Sherri hails from Lionsgates Debmar-Mercury, the same company behind Wendy Williams. Many production staffers from Williams talk show, including her executive producer, will move over to Shepherds show in the fall.
Currently, The Wendy Williams Show is still in production and airing live shows with rotating guest hosts including Shepherd, who has been a fan-favorite and highly-rated guest host throughout this season. Williams show will continue with guest hosts until in finishes its current season, though an end date has not been determined.
