Now onto SHERRI! I'm liking it so far. I met Sherri Shepherd when I was in high school and she was a new "christian" comedian attending the church I grew up in. We had a monthly performing arts event where I used to work with the concession folks. she performed there a few times and everyone really loved her. When she got The Jaime Foxx show it was one of those "look what God has done moments".

Fast forward to 2009 and I'm really happy to see her getting all of these opportunities. She's great on The View, she looks amazing and this show is a great platform for her. Now, what stuck me the most about her show is the amount of people who have respect for Sherri. You can tell by the guests on the first 2 episodes. Tammy Townsend (whose running man on episode 1 was classic!), Tichina Arnold (A+ comic timing on epi 1), Kim Whitley, Regis, you see where I'm going. What that says to me is that Sherri has gained the respect and friendship of lots of her peer in the years she's been working her way up and they all showed up for her.

If she's anything like the person I remember from the mid-90s (no, she won't remember me), she's probably taken a step back more than once and wondered how this all happened. I think she's going to be really good on this show. She, like Mo'Nique, will have to settle into the TV groove and stop pulling her face so much. But, she's got tons of experience and it will serve her well. I think she'd going to do really well.
