Sherri Shepherd officially joins the cast of Fox syndicated series “Dish Nation” as a permanent co-host this summer.
The actress and longtime former co-host of The View, shared the news on Instagram along with an article by Deadline, who exclusively reported it.
Sherri isn’t a stranger to the show. She’s actually made a few appearances back in November and December of 2019 as a guest co-host.
“Dish Nation has been a household staple as my guilty pleasure for years,” the actress and comedian said. “To say I am beyond excited to be joining the ‘Dish Nation’ family is an understatement. I look forward to bringing even more funny and dish to the table.”
Stephen Brown, EVP of Programming and Development, Fox Television Stations, said Sherri is a good match for the tone of the show.
“What sets Dish Nation apart from other entertainment news is its humor, and Sherri Shepherd is one of the funniest ladies in the business,” he said. “Sherri’s experience from years of comedy and daytime television have groomed her to fit right in with the playful banter between our co-hosts.”
Fox renewed the show last fall for its ninth season.
Congratulations, Sherri!
