*Sherri Shepherd wants to bring “fresh energy” to her popular daytime talk show, so she fired former “Wendy Williams Show” executive producers David Perler and Suzanne Bass.
Bass and Perler helped the comedian transition Wendy’s show into the “Sherri” show, but the duo will not return for Season 2, MadameNoire reports.
Shepherd took over Wendy Williams‘ highly coveted time slot in 2022 when the TV host did not return in season 13. Williams’ show was canceled as she battled health issues and Sherri was tapped to take over.
We reported previously that Sherri has been renewed for two years through the 2024-25 season.

“I am so thrilled that Sherri has been renewed for two more years,” Shepherd said in a statement. “I launched this show to give daytime viewers a ‘good time,’ just like my theme song says. I am so appreciative that Fox and Debmar-Mercury have partnered with me to continue bringing more laughter, joy, and inspiration to my audience.”
Meanwhile, on Monday’s episode of “Sherri,” Shepherd revealed that she helped Loni Love of “The Real” and Sheryl Underwood of “The Talk” negotiate for a higher number.
“I decided to let people know who were going through the same thing. I called Loni Love when she got ‘The Real’ and I told her what I made and what she should ask for,” Shepherd said. “I told Sheryl Underwood at ‘The Talk’ what I made and what she should ask for.
“The least I can do is pay it forward because if you pay it forward, and they pay it forward, we all can come up together!” she said.
