The daytime television landscape is shrinking once again.
Debmar-Mercury has confirmed it will cancel Sherri, the popular talk show hosted by Sherri Shepherd, at the end of its current season.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter on Monday, February 2, Debmar-Mercury emphasized that the move was not a reflection of Shepherd’s performance or the show’s creative direction. “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,” they said. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Shepherd’s show debuted in 2022 and ran for four seasons, offering a familiar daytime format centered on celebrity interviews and pop culture conversations, airing primarily on Fox-owned stations across the country.
It’s safe to say many Sherri fans are devastated to hear the news, and took to social media to share their sadness.
“Daytime TV is ruthless. One minute you’re building an audience, the next minute poof,” one Threads user noted.
An X user shared, “Sad to hear about Sherri ending after four solid seasons! Sherri Shepherd brought so much energy, humor, and realness to daytime TV.”
Another X user questioned, “So are we just not doing daytime tv anymore?”
Some seemed to be okay with the news, however.
“Sherri Shepherd wasn’t no good replacement for Wendy Williams anyways,” an X user shared, referencing Wendy Williams and her popular talk show, which went off air in 2022.

The cancellation arrived just hours after NBCUniversal revealed plans to end The Kelly Clarkson Show after seven seasons.
Host Kelly Clarksonaddressed the end of her own show directly on social media. “I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at TKCS, both in Los Angeles and New York,” Clarkson wrote. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner.”
