Sherri Shepherd to star in new CW sitcom - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 10-18-2007, 09:22 AM

Sherri Shepherd -- who just landed a plum spot on "The View" -- is plotting a primetime comeback.
Comic-thesp is developing a half-hour sitcom for the CW that's loosely based on her own life experiences. She's set to produce and star in the project via ABC Studios-based producers Nina Wass and Gene Stein. Dave Flebotte ("Will & Grace") will pen it.

Untitled skein will revolve around a married woman who discovers her husband has been cheating on her and has an illegitimate child. She agrees to let the child and her mother move in with the family.

Shepherd has talked openly on "The View" about her marital difficulties, including her husband's infidelity and the child that resulted from that affair.

If the CW project goes forward, it wouldn't be the first time that a morning talkshow host has done double duty. Kelly Ripa juggled "Live With Regis and Kelly" and her ABC laffer for three seasons. And former "View" moderator Rosie O'Donnell had a recurring role on "Nip/Tuck" during her tenure with the talker.

It's a good bet the Shepherd project would lense in Gotham, allowing Shepherd to keep her chair on "The View."

Shepherd is a sitcom vet, most recently snagging a recurring role on NBC's "30 Rock." She also co-starred in the ABC Studios-produced "Less Than Perfect," which was produced by Wass and Stein.

Exec producers of the Shepherd project will be Wass, Stein and Flebotte. Flebotte is currently on the staff of FX's "Dirt"; his other credits range from "Ellen" to "The Bernie Mac Show."

I'm sure Solomon will never miss an episode.

JulieSomoski · 10-18-2007, 04:30 PM

You can't be serious. And you wonder why I've never watched the CW a day in my life. This woman is rude, snobby, piggish, and downright stupid. How the hell is she getting her own show?

On the bright side, I can't wait for Solomon to read this. He'll keep us laughing at this for weeks.

The first couple of times she was on "The View" she was funny. Now she sort of just blends in with the furniture. Plus, it would be nice if she would find one hairstyle and stick with it. I mean, how many wigs does the woman own anyway?

She doesn't blend in with the furniture - she's much bigger than the stuff up there. She just kind of covers up the furniture-LOL. I'll bet you that chair she sits on is steel, because if it wasn't, it would have broken already-LOL

I like Sherri, but this show doesn't sound like it would be any good...

GoldenGirlsFan92 · 10-20-2007, 02:09 PM

If It's Funny, I'll watch it.

An 80s Guy · 10-21-2007, 06:08 PM

I might be interested in watching this.It might be funny she can be a funny comic.

She proved herself on Everybody Loves Raymond, so we shall see how this works out.

I had no idea her hubby cheated on her and had a child out of wedlock!

TVFactFan · 10-23-2007, 02:03 PM

Yes. Watch The View for a day or 2. That's all she goes on about.

Yep she does! Surprisingly though, she hasn't mentioned it for about a week now. I like Sherri and all, but the girl has no shame. Sometimes I think about what Solomon says about her and I'm like "I see what he means!"
