I am so excited to have my dream come true and debut my very own talk show SHERRI in the fall. I can’t wait until I return to NY to host the show and merge everything I love…pop culture, talk, entertainment, and comedy. I am thankful to Debmar-Mercury and FOX for partnering with me on this show and look forward to this new journey,” she said according to PEOPLE.

She also got emotional during her guest slot on The Wendy Williams Show when she broke the news, telling the audience, “Anybody who knows me knows that I am a woman of faith. And I want to say,  2004-2022. The answer. When you’re feeling like you have been forgotten. When you’re feeling like people are saying no, it might not be no. God might be saying, ‘it’s not time.’ And when God says ‘do you trust me?’ he doesn’t need a lot of faith, just a little bit. And when God says it’s so, it will be.”

As previously reported, the 54-year-old will also be guest hosting The Wendy Williams Show all week and into the rest of the season until the finale.While this is a great moment for Sherri Shepherd, it’s also a bittersweet moment for Wendy Williams as Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a statement. “We all have a great love and affinity for Wendy, who grew into a true icon during her 12 incredible seasons as the solo host of a live, daily talk show dishing on ‘Hot Topics’ and interviewing celebrities.”
