Sherri Shepherd interview at EW

by Winnie McCarthy

sherri-shepherd-heart.jpgThere is a new Sherri Shepherd interview at Entertainment Weekly online. Here is some of what she had to say in the article:

Do you feel like you are starting to learn more about politics and world events by doing Hot Topics every day?

I am growing and learning. I love being around Whoopi and Joy and Barbara. I love being in the Hot Topics room because I just listen. I open my mouth more around that table than [in the room]. Just as a woman I’m growing. I used to think women couldn’t work together. Because some bitches will work your nerves. But these women, I like coming to work every day. Sometimes we come back from break and we’re still giggling. I like that. If you had told me I’d be up every night reading The New York Times and the Washington Post and watching CNN, I would’ve laughed. Now I am learning more about politics and world events. I’m taking an interest in more things outside of myself.

Any topics in particular?
Children and health issues. Because I found out I’m diabetic just before I came out here. People are like, ”Oh, Sherri’s losing weight, she’s giving into the Hollywood thing.” It’s like, No, it’s because I stopped eating carbs and rice and drinking Pepsi all the time. I don’t have to do insulin medication because I’m eating right and exercising. And I didn’t know I was as passionate about people speaking English in this country. This is an amazing country we live in, and we can’t take advantage of all it has to offer if we don’t speak the language.

Is it tough to keep up with the other ladies?
I have a lot of life experience. I feel like what I have to say matters. Somebody said to me that you’re never at the mercy of somebody in an argument if you have life experience.

    Fantastic! I’m so proud of Sherri. She has really grown as a result of being on The View. I think she’s been a wonderful addition to this show. I’ve loved Sherri in the past as a comedienne for always keeping it real and I respect her even more now for her humility and honesty. She knows she has a lot to learn and I think the best has yet to come for her. I wish her nothing but the best both professionally and personally in 2008!

    My previous comment isn’t showing. When I’ve tried to resend it, i’m getting a “duplicate” error message.

    They were caught in the spam filter, Tina. It has been capturing ALL comments as spam, so I have to go in and approve them all.

  4. Tina Says:

    Thanks Winne!

  5. Sandy Says:

    Thanks Winnie, you always keep us up to date on the host.

    I thought Tina’s comment was great and it reflects my view 100%. The only thing I want to add is that Sherri seems and sounds confident, and I like that. I too wish her all the best professional and personally.

  6. Sandy Says:

    Aileen.. oops, I wanted to thank you as well for giving Winnie the tip. :)
