Sherri Daytime Talk Show Ends After Four Successful Seasons
Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show, Sherri, will conclude its syndication run after four seasons, according to producer-distributor Debmar-Mercury. The company is considering options for continuing the program on a digital platform.
The show, which is filmed live at Chelsea Studios in New York City and features a studio audience, will complete its current fourth season, with episodes set to conclude in the fall.
Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus stated, “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. We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Shepherd, an actor and comedian known for her previous role as a co-host on The View, premiered Sherri on Fox stations in September 2022, taking over from The Wendy Williams Show following Williams’ departure due to health issues.

The decision by Fox Stations to discontinue Sherri is believed to stem from the challenging economics of syndicated daytime talk shows. The station group continues to air Debmar-Mercury’s popular game show, Family Feud.
In a related development, NBCUniversal recently announced that The Kelly Clarkson Show will also end after the current season, leaving The Drew Barrymore Show and The Jennifer Hudson Show as the only remaining daytime talk shows operating under the traditional syndication model.
