Early life

Shepherd was born in Chicago, Illinois. She is the eldest of three girls. Her parents are LaVerne (1941-1991) and Lawrence A. Shepherd (born c. 1947). Her parents became Jehovah's Witnesses when Shepherd was a child. Due to many religious and non-religious issues, her parents divorced when Sherri was very young. Due to her mother's untimely death in 1991 after the divorce, her father became the sole parent for all three girls. [2]

Career

Shepherd's first television acting job was starring as Victoria Carlson in the short lived sitcom Cleghorne! , which aired for one season on The WB in 1995. [3] She told Ebony in 2018, "That was the first job that I booked and I was still a legal secretary. My agent told me, 'You can quit your job.' I had that big break ... and then it was canceled. I lost my apartment, my car was repossessed and I was homeless for a year. I slept on everybody's couch. In this business, it's very uncertain. You can be working one day and not working the next." [3]

Shepherd later became recognized for her role as Sheila Yarborough on Jamie Foxx's own sitcom The Jamie Foxx Show from 1996 to 2001 and for recurring roles on the sitcoms Suddenly Susan and Everybody Loves Raymond in the late 1990s, while starring in the show Less Than Perfect in the lead role of Ramona Platt from 2002 to 2006. From 2005 to 2009, Shepherd had a recurring role as Sandra, the girlfriend of character Lenny Davidson, on the FOX sitcom The War at Home . In 2007, she played Rhonda in the IMAX rerelease version of Transformers . [4] From 2007 – 2013, she had a recurring role as Angie, the wife of character Tracy Jordan, on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock . In 2009, she starred for one season in Lifetime Television's Sherri , a sitcom about Shepherd's life. [5] She recurred as Daphne during the final season of How I Met Your Mother in 2013.

Television personality

Shepherd has appeared as a guest host and contestant on several television shows such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire , Rachael Ray , and To Tell the Truth . [10] She co-hosted the 35th Daytime Emmy Awards on June 20, 2008. Shepherd also hosted Nickelodeon's NickMom Night Out special from 2013 to 2014, [11] Shepherd hosted Best Ever Trivia Show on Game Show Network for 65 episodes, beginning on June 10, 2019.

In 2006, Shepherd became a frequent guest co-host on ABC's daytime talk show The View . [12] She became a permanent co-host in 2007, debuting in September, when she replaced Star Jones. [13] Since leaving The View in 2014, Shepherd has continued to make several appearances on the show as a contributor throughout 2015 and 2016. [14]

Shepherd encountered public criticism after a September 2007 broadcast of The View when she stated she did not "believe in evolution. Period." [15] Co-host Whoopi Goldberg asked her, "Is the world flat?" Shepherd responded, "I don't know," and expanded that she "never thought about it". [16] Shepherd later referred to her statement as a "brain fart" brought on by nerves. Barbara Walters and Shepherd talked after that episode: Walters said, "Dear, the Earth is round", and Shepherd responded with: "Barbara, I know that!" [17] [18]

The View was often filmed "live", with little or no editing, so more criticism erupted after the December 4, 2007, broadcast when, during a discussion initiated by Joy Behar about Epicurus, Shepherd attempted to assert that Christians existed in classical Greece, and that the Greeks threw them to the lions. When confronted on this point, she further claimed that "Jesus came first" (before Greeks and Romans) and stated, "I don't think anything predated Christians", to which Behar responded: "The Jews." [19]

Shepherd garnered further criticism after admitting to never voting partly due to her upbringing as a strict Jehovah's Witness. She was quoted as saying that she just "never knew the dates or anything"; she stated, "I've never voted for anything in my life." [20] In January 2008, Sherri referred to Gospel singer Shirley Caesar as "the black Patti LaBelle." LaBelle, like Caesar, is black. [21]

In 2008, she created more controversy on The View due to "flippant" remarks regarding abortion. She later clarified her position, saying her remarks weren't meant to be "flippant" but rather to inspire other women who may be dealing with guilt after abortions. She cited having multiple abortions herself in her 20s, which caused her to suffer from shame and guilt due to those experiences. She also revealed she later converted to Evangelical Christianity. [22] In 2009, Shepherd won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host alongside Behar, Goldberg, Walters, and Elisabeth Hasselbeck. [23]

In March 2012, Shepherd participated as a celebrity contestant on the fourteenth season of ABC's Dancing with the Stars ; her dance partner was Val Chmerkovskiy. [24]

In 2019, Shepherd participated in the second season of Fox's The Masked Singer as "Penguin". [25]

Personal life

[40] The couple married in Chicago in August 2011 and separated in May 2014. [41] [42] Following the May, 2014 split, Shepherd and Sally welcomed a son, Lamar Jr., via surrogacy in August 2014. However, Shepherd does not have a biological connection to the child, as he was conceived using a donor egg. [42] During the following year, 2015, they finalized their divorce. Along with the initial divorce petition, Shepherd had also challenged the surrogacy contract and sought to remove her name from Lamar, Jr.'s birth certificate. A Pennsylvania appeals court ruled against Shepherd, stating she was legally responsible for the child. [43] [44]
