Former talk show host Loni Love slams “Sherri” show production company over show cancellation announcement.
Love wrote via X, “Sherri should have been given the courtesy of announcing her show’s end instead of an article announcing it.”
As previously reported, Sherri Shepherd’s daytime talk show “Sherri” is coming to an end after four seasons. Variety reported that Lionsgate’s producer/distributor shingle Debmar-Mercury confirmed the news on Monday. 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. We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Love suggested that the show’s producer could’ve given Sheppard the decency to announce the cancellation herself. “It’s not like The Real, which was a panel show, but this was a solo-hosted show,” Love said. “Or the production company could have at least made a joint announcement as a producer and host.”
Love finished her statement by expressing, “Seeing ‘cancelled’ stamped all over your picture is depressing, especially when the show was having good ratings. Only onward and upward from this,” she finished.
