Jennifer Hudson, Sherri Shepherd part of daytime TV makeover

They’re joining a daytime lineup that includes continuing talk-variety series “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and “The Drew Barrymore Show”; “Tamron Hall” and ratings leaders “The View,” “Dr. Phil” and “Live with Kelly and Ryan.”

Ask veteran television executive Frank Cicha to recall the last time the daytime TV schedule has seen such turnover, and he has a ready answer: Never.

“Never,” he repeated. “There’s been sort of signature tumultuous moments,” including Oprah Winfrey ending her 25-year run in 2011. But the “en masse” exit of shows and the relatively few new ones replacing them is unprecedented, he said.

What Cicha terms daytime’s “re-rack” has created openings for “The Jennifer Hudson Show” and “Sherri,” with Sherri Shepherd, both debuting Monday, and “Karamo” with Karamo Brown of “Queer Eye” fame, starting Sept. 19.

They’re joining a daytime lineup that includes continuing talk-variety series “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and  today!
