Noir Nation, after four seasons of laughter, viral moments, and unapologetic realness, Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show ‘Sherri’ has officially been canceled!
Producers Debmar-Mercury stressed that the decision isn’t about the show’s success or Sherri herself, but rather reflects the ever-changing landscape of daytime TV, reports Deadline
In a joint statement, co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said, “This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production, or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd. We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Social Media Users React
Fans were quick to share their disappointment online, many expressing frustration over what they see as a shrinking space for Black women in daytime TV. Comments ranged from shock to heartbreak:
- “That’s crazy cause it’s said her ratings are great so Why the Cancellation!?”
- “Annoyed because I was just about to sign up to be in the audience earlier today 😢”
- “😮😮😮 What, This Some Bull!!!”
Fellow celebrity and former ‘The Real’ co-host Loni Love also spoke out, criticizing how the cancellation was announced. Taking to Twitter (X), Loni wrote: “Sherri should have been given the courtesy of announcing her show’s end instead of an article announcing it. (Just like Kelly got to announce her show’s end.) It’s not like The Real, which was a panel show, but this was a solo-hosted show. Or the production company could have at least made a joint announcement as a producer and host. Seeing “cancelled” stamped all over your picture is depressing, especially when the show was having good ratings. Only onward and upward from this.”
