Shepherd proved the most popular sub for Williams, Debmar-Mercury said, and the show’s ratings held up during her appearances. Production will continue on “The Wendy Williams Show” through the current season, with rotating fill-in hosts, including Shepherd.
She is the “perfect choice” for her own show and has already proven her appeal to the Fox audience, said Frank Cicha, an executive vice president with Fox Television Stations. He thanked Debmar-Mercury for navigating “an extremely trying situation.”
Shepherd, who appeared on “The View” before joining as a co-host from 2007-14, will remain as a co-host with the Fox TV stations’ “Dish Nation.” She’s acted from the start of her entertainment career, with credits including “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “30 Rock” and, recently, “The Sex Lives of College Girls.” She’s also had roles in movies: “Beauty Shop″ and the 2007 film “Who’s Your Caddy?”
She is an executive producer for “Sherri,” along with her producing partner Jawn Murray and David Perler, the latter having worked as executive producer for all but one season of “The Wendy Williams Show.”
Williams last taped her show in July 2021, when season 12 wrapped. Production on the current season was delayed last September because she had a “breakthrough” case of COVID-19, the show said at the time. Reasons for her continuing absence were not subsequently detailed.
