Sherri Shepherd Leaving “The View” : Sherri Shepherd Could Be Fired From “The View”

As Whoopi would say, “Sherri, you in danger, girl!”

In another sign of the deepening recession, cash-strapped ABC execs are reportedly looking to let go of one of the five co-hosts on its popular daytime chatfest The View, and we hear dizty co-host Sherri Shepherd is well on her way to becoming the next Star Jones.

Sherri’s name is tops on a list of View chatterboxes who could be slammed with a pink slip in coming weeks because she hasn’t contributed too much in her 17 months on the Emmy-winning talk show, network insiders revealed to Star Magazine this week.

Hey, hey, hey. Now that’s not fair. Sherri’s contributed plenty since joining the cast of The View. Take September 2007 for instance, when the comedienne stated–with a straight face might we add–that she isn’t sure whether the Earth is round or flat. Or how about the time that she frantically worried that allowing her son, Jeffrey, to play with dolls would turn the toddler into a homosexual as an adult? Let us not foget that whole “Jesus Predates Everything” Brouhaha. Tell us those gems don’t come in handy when you need a few chuckles. Sherri brings on the LOLs.

How much more can a girl contribute?!

“Sherri hasn’t won many fans,” tattles tell Star. “Polls show that she is unpopular and comes across as an airhead.”

Sherri shares her co-hosting duties with Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, and lone conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Would you be happy to see Sherri leave The View?

Wow. I don’t watch The View, so I had no idea SS was such a twit. They should let her go just so flat worlders don’t think their viewpoint is worthy of national TV airtime.

Yes, I’d be happy if she was gone. I did enjoy her co-hosting once in a while, but once she was on every day I saw how dumb she was. I’ve found some of her comments very off-putting, and as someone that was wondering “who she was” after appearing a few times, I am no fan. I really don’t care for Elizabeth either. I like Joy best, the Whoppi, then Barbara. Funny too that you can tell Barbara has had a dierrent tone with her on the air of late.

This is funny! Elizabeth is just as much an airhead as Sherry, but being the lone conservative and yuppie, it certainly wouldn’t be her fate to get axed! However, if Elizabeth’s clothes line takes off, I’m sure she’s outta there too!!! Being one of the worst dressers on TV, she’ll probably be pretty successful putting her crap on other people! Remember when se dressed Whoppie for a week in God-awful clothes around Christmas time? It was HORRID! Anyway, “ALLEGEDLY” this rumor has been around since Star was a baby, so I’d say take it with a grain of salt… I would think Whoopie would be fed up soon being the lone voice of reason! They can’t POSSIBLY be paying her enough to put up with that grind!!! That’s just my opinion and with that and $4 you can get a coffee at Starbucks!!!

I can not believe that any woman with half a brain would even watch that show as long as Sherry and Elizabeth are on it.How can BW surrond herself with such trash.
If that show dumped those two losers I might actually watch it.

Wow! Yesterday’s (Monday’s) episode on The View was sooo incredibly painful to watch!!! What the heck is Sherri Shepard on?? Or what is she drinking before the show?? I can’t be the only one who saw this…Barbara and Joy were obviously very uncomfortable anytime Sherri opened her mouth!! She needs to GO!!! I really enjoy watching The View…but come on!!! Sherri is making it uncomfortable to watch, let alone to enjoy!!! This topic should definitely be on their “What the hell Wednesday” episode!!!

I hope Sheri goes, and please please soon. Her input on the show is worthless. The minute she starts to talk I hold my breath, cause I know here comes something dumb. Please Barbara get rid of her.
On February 20th 2009, RB/New York wrote:

Why Sheri Shephard? Why not Elisabeth? Come on, the girl is utterly ridiculous with her comments. She crams like an exam to appear informed. But the truth is, she is so far removed from reality. If these rumors are true, Barbara needs to rethink her position. I will start to look at Barbara (not that I already havent) in a different light. Its all about ratings; no matter who pays the consequences.

The comment above refers to Elisabeth should be booted from the View, not Sheri.

Its time for “ABC” to axes the View period!!! Its all wished-up!
Whoopi Goldberg should go back to being in movies or making her own!
Sherri Shepherd should go back to sitcom(s) I enjoyed her on the Jamie Foxx show back in the 90’s, because she is still young maybe she can ask Tyler Perry… for a job, or get her own sitcom show…most of the actors on his show can’t act, anyway.
Joy is always a joy to watch and need her own sitcom, too.
Elizabeth should do what she does best and stay home and have babies, she’s going to be the octuplets mom soon at the rate she’s going! But I agree if someone must go let it be her!!!
Barbara doesn’t have to come on as much as she does, because the only thing she talks about are her special she’s promoting….I’m sick of seeing her, too!
The bottom line its time for ABC to cancel the “VIEW”!

Why don’t they just cancel the entire show. That would save a lot of money and let Joy Behar go on to replace Larry King. The others can be on their own.

I am so sick of Sherri’s racist remarks! She is an airhead and contributes NOTHING to the show. I wish the other co-hosts would call her out more often for being an uneducated bimbo! I feel bad for little Jeffrey. Take that dumb woman off The View for good!

I think it is pretty obvious that some of you are prejudiced people. I think the View is a great show and it is successful because of the different people who make up the different viewpoints. .

On a good day, they are all funny and very human.
On a bad day, you just want to take a bat to your TV. Joy isn’t always very bright and often has only half the facts and is way over the top liberal. Whoopi i love but but her hippie stories are getting old and the wierd eye rolls and body language when someone is pissing her off. Barbera is way too self promoting its ridiculus
and though I am a consevative, Elizabeth needs to be more calm in her time that she has for equal time as the only Republican left in America
strong enough to speak up. At its best its good, at its worst the show really can suck.
On June 11th 2009, Will wrote:

I find Sherri refreshing. Its hard to agree with all her beliefs but she wouldn’t hurt a fly. I wish Barbera would not be so obvious when trying to control Sherri’s and Elizabeths comments. Not everyone in America is a liberal. I like the idea of the show, I would start all over with a new group of women. More evenly balanced in politics, education, and no celebreties who only want to gush over Obama or the latest liberal celebrity who just made another liberal movie who wants to come on and talk about their liberal politics.
Make it more interesting this time please!!

I love Sherri and I don’t want her off the show. She is soo quick to laugh at herself. I see her wisdom and I think you have to have wisdom to see it. I think she brings balance to the show.

Who cares if Sherri stays or leaves. She is one of the biggest “airheads”, I have ever seen in my life. Anyone that doesn’t think that Jesus and God is not one of the same and that God didn’t write the bible, something is defintely wrong with that picture. Apparently she was studying from the book of Moron’s instead of the book of Mormon, no pun intended. Then to top it all off she recently told a live TV audience that she was going to get The Bushes clipped for an upcoming bikini show-off on The view In August. She made up an excuse that the reason for not shaving was because she was “married”. That is one of the lamest excuses I have ever heard. That is almost like a man getting caught cheating on his wife and after thinking of what he is going to say he says something to the effect of honey, I wasn’t really sleeping with her I was just practicing my moves on her to see if they would work out on you. What an idiot. I don’t have anything against Sherri except the fact that she is stupid and it is not attractive nor is it funny to be successful as she is and then acting like shes dumb. That is crazy not even the amount of money that they pay her is not worth losing your dignity nor your pride. Then when she made the comment about the male not having female body parts not knowing that it was a woman that had a sex change but apparently they forgot to take away the goodie bag only to find out that she-man can still have children. Then Sherri was even dumber by saying that a man doesn’t have a female genitalia. Uh Sherri for starters, it did say in the bible that God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve and further more, he took a rib from Adam to make woman which if you read between the lines which you can’t it seems to appear, but when God took that rib to make woman he took away the stem so it would be nothing more but the basket. So for anyone to make a hineous comment like Sherri made is nothing more than stupid, bottom line.

Sherri, piece of advice, God gave everyone a brain, so do yourself a favor and try using it sometime you might feel better about some of the remarks that have flown out of your mouth to make you appear to be stupid than you really are.

I cringe at the lack of intellect of Sherri and get fumed that the shows cohosts just let her ride…..I would be all over that dumb lady and toss her thinking around like a ping pong player. She is dimwitted, hands down and is really a racist (racism is a lack of education people). She does not connect with white people, white thoughts (if there are such things) and only excels if she is speaking about the sistahs or anything black centered. Geez, how embarrassing for black men and women with brains and intellect.

I was hoping this would happen, she has no personality , do not know what is going on most
of the time, she ads nothing to the show, and
do not seem to be smart.

Oh that was nothing. She was on the BET awards giving out or introducing someone her and another person and it was called to my attention that sherri was digging in her crack while coming out on stage. I thought my friend was playing because I was to busy laughing at those too big shoes that she had absolutely trouble walking in and you want that to represent the black women of today. I feel sorry for WWE superstar MVP-Not. He is dumb enough to fall for her, then both deserve each other. I just cannot believe that some of the things that comes out of her mouth and people wants to pretend that she is so smart, but yet every time when something comes out of her mouth, she sounds more dumb with each passing day. And again, about the shaving thing, that is completely embarrassing. Sherri sets back slavery to the days of the hebrew slaves in goshen…..go figure.

I would just be glad when she comes off the airwaves period. As the late great Michael Jackson would say on his song “Heal the World” make a better place for you and for me.

I like Sherri. I think she makes the show fun. I think some who have commented here are too critical of Sherri and perhaps what she believes, thinking that their thoughts are wise and correct. At least Sherri brings laughter and fun, Elisabeth just whines . . .and whines . . .and whines. . .and whines. . .and whines . . .and mis-speaks . . .and. . . whines so more. No one pays attention to her!!! However, I do like the show and hope the produces can continue to find ways to only make it better without letting anyone go.

So Elizabeth is more important than Sherri???? Whatever! I think SHerri is great and Elizabeth needs to saty home and take care of her football team!

I think elizabeth would be the obvious choice. This is her third kid – and she has been courted by fox to host her own show – Sherri takes a lot of flack for things she shouldn’t. The earth is flat comment, she was making a point, basically saying “I don’t have time to worry if the earth is round, I need to feed my child those are my priorities..” of course she knows the earth is round. You can’t bust on her for her faith. She is representative of a lot of the black community who are against homosexuality as it conflicts with their faith. I love her on the show. She is real and human. If anyone should go it should be Barbara. She is so out of touch and wooden it is painful to watch.

The View needs to go, period! I am tired of all the cohosts promoting their other projects. What happened to the idea of ordinary women promoting their View that everyone else can relate to. It seems the entire hot topics is each one of them promoting their next project or other show they are on. Good riddance to all of them!

I wish I could say I am surprise about some of the comments made concerning Sherrie but I am not. Some of the people that made their comments showed just as much passion about their own personal beliefs and yet want to pass judgment against her for making her comments. To be so passionate about a woman who does not make or break your day is sad. Some comments displayed straight HATRED towards Sherri. In my opinion the show can go away. All the ladies are irritating to me. All of them are passionate about their opinions. If someone needed to go. I would not mind Joy. Her comments are over the top and usually rude. She is hardly funny and is on the show for shock value .
I encourage Sherri to continue being herself and to all her HATERS you can continue HATING because no one cares.

I would love to see Sherri leave. I am so tired of her using The View as her therapy sessions. I don’t care about her Ex; how long she has been celibate; how many wigs she has; how she looks in a swimsuit, etc. I am just so sick of her trying to ‘take over’ the show, outshouting everybody to get her say in. And someone should tell her that she is not as intelligent as she thinks she is. The world could be FLAT! Come on. At any rate I hope her show succeeds so she can leave the View soon.

I really can’t stand Sherri or Joy, I use to like Whoppi but can barely tolerate her anymore. Barbara is okay. Elisabeth is the best out of the bunch, she seems to be the only one with any class. I really don’t understand why Sherri and Joy are on two different shows at the present time, seems like the wealth and jobs should be spread around. It would be fine if Sherri was let go. I am really surprised she was picked up by the other TV station. I really like the station but can’t stand her.

Sherri Sheppard was on the 700 Club promoting her book and professing her love for Jesus on Oct 30th yet at the same time she flaunted that She-devil Queen of the Damned Outfit and she was very proud of being that demon Queen. Enough of the two faces of Sherri folks. She has a sitcom she needs to retire from the View but her sitcom is entertaining but immoral. If she is going to flaunt her Christianity on the Conservative 700 Club she should pick one side of the fence and not straddle it.

I don’t like Sherri are Elisabeth. They both are not that bright, but try very hard. I love Whoopi on there, she is smart and try to explain things to people with out getting in their butts like she should. I think she had the most class on the show. But she gets a E for her dress, she need to do something about how she looks on the show.
