ATLANTA — Sherri Shepherd has fashioned herself as a multi-hyphenate in Hollywood, which is almost a necessity in 2022: actress, author, stand-up comic, podcaster. Her latest venture: talk show host using one name only: “Sherri.”
Her syndicated talk show in many markets including Atlanta replaced “The Wendy Williams Show.” She was one of the subs last year for Williams, who suffered from a multitude of medical issues that forced her off the air after more than a decade of success.
Shepherd came to Atlanta last week to meet with the local affiliate Fox 5 (WAGA-TV) to promote her show, which airs at 11 a.m. daily in Atlanta and is in its second month. So far, the ratings have been strong, with Atlanta among its biggest markets.
