Sherri Shepherd cleans house - fires production team from the 'Wendy' show
Sherri Shepherd is washing her hands of Wendy Williams’ top producers for Season 2 of her eponymous daytime talk show.
Shepherd inherited Williams’ longtime executive producers David Perler and Suzanne Bass — who also appeared with Williams on camera daily — as EPs for her show when it premiered last fall.
Sources told Page Six they got the axe this week, as Season 1 of “Sherri” comes to a close at the end of this month.
We’re told Shepherd naturally wanted “fresh energy” for her new season.
The decision doesn’t come as a surprise for Perler, we hear, since he stayed on “to help get through the hump of launching a new show,” according to one source.
Bass was more of a “sidekick and buffer” to Williams’ former “Hot Topics” act, which isn’t as useful for Shepherd, who is also a comedian and actress, we’re told.

Well, at least she’s still keeping Norman around.

I love Norman ! Is she keeping him around, or is he going with the others ? I used to like seeing him on Wendy every day - I don't see him on Sherri anymore (though I only catch her show sporadically).

I hate this bitch. She’s so fake. Make no mistake she’s dumb education wise but she’s a cunning butch who will step on anyone to get her way. She’s a moron but plays it up to diffuse people. Nasty piece of work.

Thanks R4 ! We already met, and I was asking if she really is keeping Norman - the article said the whole production team, so I was wondering if he was axed.

Sherri is the type who is all smiles until she doesn’t get her way then she pours it on thick or ices you out, and gets super passive aggressive. She might allegedly be a sociopath.

Anyone who smiles that big is hiding some personality flaw.

Has Sherri ever acknowledged the son she had with her second husband through surrogacy ? Does she share custody of him ? I expect she would, being the good Christian that she is.

Disappointed that the majority of her quests are black. I love people of ALL ethnic backgrounds. Her show will be nothing more than a niche show if she doesn't expand her guest demographics. I wish her well.

The only thing that could help this show is a new host.

Don't blame her. I wouldn't want a trace of Wendy's negative energy. I'd probably burn the whole thing to the ground.

She should walk off the edge of the flat earth.

Now Wendy Williams can hire them for all of her media projects.

What happened to Suzanne's husband Brendan? Does he still work for Sherri? I haven't seen a second of that show since Sherri took over.
