Sherri Shepherd has been “completely overwhelmed” by the show of support after her TV show was axed.<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old actress has taken to social media to thank fans and followers for their support, after her daytime talk show, Sherri, was axed.<\/p>\n
The TV star wrote on Instagram: “Wow! I am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for me and The @sherrishowtv . You might\u2019ve noticed that yesterday and today I was struggling because I wasn\u2019t 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. Until then, I am truly grateful that SHERRI has made such an impact on you! See ya soon [heart emoji] #sherrishepherd #sherrishowtv #grateful #itsnotover (sic)”<\/p>\n
The comedian first fronted Sherri in September 2022, but Lionsgate\u2019s Debmar-Mercury recently confirmed the series has been canned, partly due to the “evolving daytime television landscape”.<\/p>\n
In a statement given to People, Debmar-Mercury 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 – which has found strong creative momentum this season – or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd.”<\/p>\n
However, that may not be the end for the series, because the TV syndication company are “exploring alternative” platforms for the show.<\/p>\n
Bernstein and Marcus added: “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”<\/p>\n
Sherri is currently on her Make it Make Sense comedy tour, and she took to social media this week to thank her fans for watching her on the road.<\/p>\n
She said in an Instagram video: “I’m so thankful that I get to do what I love, which is making people laugh, so thank you guys for letting me make you laugh.<\/p>\n
“I’m tired, it’s brutal being on the road. It’s not like when I was 20.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sherri Shepherd has been “completely overwhelmed” by the show of support after her TV show was axed.
