The View May Hire Sherri Shepherd

Canada.com is reporting that Sherri Shepherd may soon win a job on The View as Star Jones' long-awaited replacement. "The wait is almost over, sources claim," the website writes about Sherri Shepherd, who has sat in as a popular guest co-host on The View.

"A new permanent co-host will be announced in January and insiders claim a deal is being worked out with comic Sherri Shepherd," says Canada.com, adding, "If it happens, tell your friends you read it here. (If it doesn't happen, tell your friends you read it on AOL.)"

The View's audiences have fallen in love with the clean Christian comic as Sherri Shepherd has regaled them with true tales of her recent divorce from actor and comedian Jeff Tarpley, with whom she shares a son.

Sherri Shepherd told The View's viewers that she recently checked Jeff Tarpley's email account and found pictures of some woman "with her legs all up in the air," and reported that only the Lord stopped her from bashing Jeff's head in with the lamp she picked up.

Also admitting that she had formerly spent eight days in jail for failure to pay parking violations, Sherri Shepherd said God warned her that she didn't want to go to prison for murder.

"One body cannot hold onto all that anger," Sherri Shepherd said about her journey toward forgiving Jeff Tarpley, a man to whom she pays alimony.

A native of a Chicago suburb, Sherri Shepherd was born April 22, 1970. Sherri's father reportedly worked as a McDonald's manager to help pay for Sherri to attend trade college, which helped her gain work as a legal secretary and perform stand-up comedy at night.

Raised a Jehovah's Witness, Sherri later converted to Christianity after moving from Chicago to Los Angeles.

"I was out here doing stand-up comedy, and everything was going wrong. I was in a very abusive relationship and was making really bad choices," Sherri told Living Light News. One night, Shepherd said she fell to her knees and cried out, searching for God.
