    'Sherri' Daytime Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons
    ------------------------------------------------------
    Comedian Sherri Shepherd's talk show "Sherri" is ending its run
    after four seasons, Variety has learned. News comes just as
    another daytime yakker, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," also
    announced that it would wrap up at the end of 2026 after seven
    seasons.

    Lionsgate's producer/distributor shingle Debmar-Mercury
    confirmed the news Monday. "Sherri" had most recently been
    cleared through the 2025-2026 TV season on station groups like
    the Fox TV Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and
    Sunbeam. Season 4 production will continue as planned, with the
    series airing its final episodes in the fall.

    "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," Debmar-Mercury
    co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said in a joint
    statement. "We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to
    explore alternatives for it on other platforms."

    Last season upon its pickup, Fox TV Stations exec vice president
    of programming Frank Cicha called the show "a linchpin of our
    daytime lineup."

    "Sherri" tapes at New York's Chelsea Studios and is both produced
    and distributed by Debmar-Mercury.

    "I don't take it for granted that people welcome me into their
    homes daily," Shepherd said last year when the show was renewed
    for a Season 4. "I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers'
    lives through joy, laughter and inspiration, and I'm grateful that
    the audience has embraced what we do. I look forward to raising
    the bar and turning up the volume as we plan for our season four
    return."

    The former cohost of "The View," actress, comedian and Emmy winner
    Shepherd first launched her own talk show in fall 2022. "Sherri"
    originally took over the time slots on the Fox stations that were
    previously occupied by "The Wendy Williams Show," which 
    Debmar-Mercury produced and distributed for 13 seasons.

    Democrats and the liberal media hate President Trump more than they
    love this country.
