Sherri Shepherd said she is not replacing Wendy Williams
Leading up to the announcement that Shepherd was “replacing” Williams on her talk show, there were a lot of stories being posted online. When Shepherd confirmed the news that she was getting her own talk show, she made sure to make it clear she was not taking over Williams as she has her own legacy.
“I do wanna say there have been all of these crazy stories online about my replacing Wendy and I am here to tell you that, that is not true,” Shepherd said on the show. “No one can replace the queen, nobody. And trust me, I am not trying to at all. It is Wendy’s place to share her story with you but I do wanna give the queen her props. Wendy had a legendary career in radio and this show was specifically crafted for her. No one can do this format but Wendy.”
Furthermore, Shepherd said she was making her own show as she couldn’t possibly do everything Williams did on her show because it was made to fit her tone. The former The View co-host also said that it had been her dream to have her own talk show since she was a little girl. Shepherd manifested fronting her own show and even played as a child with her plush toys serving as an audience.
Lastly, Sherri will premiere in the Fall of 2022 taking over The Wendy Williams Show time slot in markets across the United States.
