Fox TV Stations Renews ‘Sherri’ For Two Years Through 2024-25 Season

The freshman talker hosted by actress, comedian and Daytime Emmy-winning co-host of The View, Sherri Shepherd, gains a long-term extension from its anchor station group.

Fox Television Stations has renewed Sherri, the No. 1 new nationally syndicated daytime talker from Lionsgate’s Debmar-Mercury, for two years through the 2024-25 season.

The cash-plus-barter freshman talk show hosted by actress, comedian and the Daytime Emmy-winning co-host of The View, Sherri Shepherd, gains the long-term extension from its anchor station group based on its first-season success.

“I am so thrilled that Sherri has been renewed for two more years,” Shepherd said. “I launched this show with the mission to give daytime viewers a ‘good time,’ just like my theme song says. I am so appreciative that Fox and Debmar-Mercury have partnered with me to continue bringing more laughter, joy and inspiration to my audience.”

Frank Cicha, EVP of programming for Fox Television Stations, said: “In success, the hour leading out of a.m. news can act as a springboard for a station’s entire daytime, and it’s not easy to find the right fit. Sherri’s mix of professionalism and competitive strength has been a great fit for us, so we’re happy to be bringing her program back.”

Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said: “We initially sold Sherri for one year based on our strong belief that this extraordinarily talented host would be successful and her show would become a long-term talk franchise. Our thanks go to our good friends and longtime partners at Fox, who shared in our enthusiasm and have renewed their faith in Sherri with this long-term commitment.”

Currently cleared in 98% of the U.S, including stations from other leading broadcast groups CBS, Sinclair and Nexstar, the weekday talk show originates from New York’s Chelsea Studios in front of a studio audience.
