Sherri Shepherd has broken her silence about the cancellation of her Fox-syndicated daytime show after four seasons. She also revealed that she hasn’t addressed the news because she contracted COVID.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Feb. 3, Shephered thanked her fans for the “outpouring of support.”
“Wow! I am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for me and The @sherrishowtv. You might’ve noticed that yesterday and today, I was struggling because I wasn’t feeling up to speed. Well, it turns out I have Covid. As soon as I feel better and return to the show, I will address all of the news that has come out,” Shepherd wrote. “Until then, I am truly grateful that SHERRI has made such an impact on you! See ya soon❤️.”
TAMRON HALL SHOWS HER SUPPORT
Tamron Hall, host of the daytime show “The Tamron Hall Show,” expressed her support in comments.
“You just wrote your first children’s book. And you are on an epic comedy tour, you have a podcast, and you took over a daytime space and made it your own,” Hall wrote. “I’m tired just listing all you have done! And the list of next chapter moments will be amazing ✈️❤️ love you, Family.”
As WBLS previously reported, “Sherri” is coming to an end after four seasons. Season 4 production will continue as planned, with the series airing its final episodes in the fall.
When the show was picked up last season, Frank Cicha, Fox TV Stations’ exec vice president of programming, said the show was “a linchpin of our daytime lineup.”
“I don’t take it for granted that people welcome me into their homes daily,” Shepherd said last year. “And I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers’ lives through joy, laughter, and inspiration. I’m grateful that the audience has embraced what we do. I look forward to raising the bar and turning up the volume as we plan for our season four return.”
