A daytime syndicated talk show hosted by Sherri Shepherd (The View; Dish Nation) will succeed The Wendy Williams Show, which is ending, Deadline reported.
Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury, the producer-distributor of The Wendy Williams Show, is behind Sherri, which will make a syndication debut on the Fox Television Stations and broadcasters nationwide in fall 2022—and will inherit The Wendy Williams Show’s time slot.
Among the elements crossing over from Wendy to Sherri is the popular “Hot Topics” segment, with Shepherd putting her own spin on it.
The Wendy Williams Show is slated to continue through the end of this season with rotating guest hosts, including Shepherd, as Williams has been sidelined with health issues for the entire season.
