Sherri Shepherd Says Prison Taught Her Life Lessons

Sherri Shepherd says being locked up for a while helped her career. He recently spoke with Page Six about eight days he served for owing $10,000 in unpaid transfer violations. This happened in the early 90s, when Shepherd was just starting his career in show business.
He said, “Yes, I went to jail for not paying my ticket. At the time I didn’t think being in jail was a good moment, but looking back I learned to pay all my bills. Prison, it was a classroom… it was a life lesson, and now I pay my bills on time.”
Reflecting on his time in prison, Shepherd mentioned one of the inmates who protected him because he knew Shepherd “was going to be somebody.” He said that the inmate’s name was Shelby and that he attended both of Shepherd’s weddings when he was finally released.
Shepherd added, “But sometimes people see things in you that you don’t see in yourself, and when he said those words, ‘Sherri is going to be somebody,’ I never thought that for myself. So I just knew that something will happen.”
Recently he aired his talk show

Shepherd’s career is taking off, especially with her new talk show, which premiered last fall after the Wendy Williams show ended. Shepherd had originally replaced Williams until it was confirmed that he could not return due to some health issues.
William’s show, which ran for 13 seasons, was later replaced by Shepherd’s talk show, titled “Sherri.” At the time, there was some bad blood from Williams, who didn’t like being replaced.
Williams reportedly said, “I like him, but I’m not going to watch him because I know what he’s going to do and it’s none of my business.” In Instagram Live, Williams spoke with rapper Fat Joe and said, “I love being on my own show, and I love that people love watching it all the time.” Shepherd later commented briefly on Williams, saying, “Wendy is the queen… There’s something for everyone.”
The show has been confirmed for two more seasons

“Sherri” has been confirmed by Fox TV Stations to return for two more seasons, through 2024 and 2025. David Perler, executive producer and showrunner will work with Shepherd and Jane Murray to executive produce the upcoming season. Shepherd and Murray have since been photographed at events called “Collabs,” per Page Six.
Guests in the first season included movie star and producer Tyler Perry and singer Janet Jackson. Jackson surprised Shepherd with her appearance on the show, which left the host teary-eyed and emotional. Jackson’s appearance is part of his promotional tour for his upcoming “Together Again Tour”.

Shepherd recently surprised his fans with two recent photos on Instagram. The post included two images, one showing Shepherd in a multicolored blazer, jeans, red boots and a large belt. The second photo shows her in an all-black outfit featuring a hat with gold accents, a large black belt and jewelry.
Shepherd has the famous mushroom cut hairstyle in both photos, which makes the post even funnier.

Some fans pointed out that she looked very good for 90s fashion, especially with her Wilson leather cut.
The caption read, “Today Sherri threw it back to the days of sneaking into the club in your best Wilson leather. One fan then commented, “Wilson leather. When you have a jacket from Wilsons you’re a bitch! I have a blue leather fringe.”
