       'Sherri' Daytime Talk Show Canceled After Four Seasons   
       ------------------------------------------------------   
       Comedian Sherri Shepherd's talk show "Sherri" is ending its run   
       after four seasons, Variety has learned. News comes just as   
       another daytime yakker, "The Kelly Clarkson Show," also   
       announced that it would wrap up at the end of 2026 after seven   
       seasons.   
      
       Lionsgate's producer/distributor shingle Debmar-Mercury   
       confirmed the news Monday. "Sherri" had most recently been   
       cleared through the 2025-2026 TV season on station groups like   
       the Fox TV Stations, Nexstar, Hearst, Sinclair, Gray, Tegna and   
       Sunbeam. Season 4 production will continue as planned, with the   
       series airing its final episodes in the fall.   
      
       "This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television   
       landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its   
       production - which has found strong creative momentum this season   
       - or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd," Debmar-Mercury   
       co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said in a joint   
       statement. "We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to   
       explore alternatives for it on other platforms."   
      
       Last season upon its pickup, Fox TV Stations exec vice president   
       of programming Frank Cicha called the show "a linchpin of our   
       daytime lineup."   
      
       "Sherri" tapes at New York's Chelsea Studios and is both produced   
       and distributed by Debmar-Mercury.   
      
       "I don't take it for granted that people welcome me into their   
       homes daily," Shepherd said last year when the show was renewed   
       for a Season 4. "I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers'   
       lives through joy, laughter and inspiration, and I'm grateful that   
       the audience has embraced what we do. I look forward to raising   
       the bar and turning up the volume as we plan for our season four   
       return."   
      
       The former cohost of "The View," actress, comedian and Emmy winner   
       Shepherd first launched her own talk show in fall 2022. "Sherri"   
       originally took over the time slots on the Fox stations that were   
       previously occupied by "The Wendy Williams Show," which    
       Debmar-Mercury produced and distributed for 13 seasons.
