Sherri premiered it’s second season today! Sherri revealed a very personal story about her Summer! She addressed the strikes and why her talk show is allowed to return and she announced Funny Over 50. Later Sherri got over her fear of snakes in Never Have I Ever…until today…
“Something really big happened to me over the summer and I promised that I would reveal it today. I’ve been holding onto this secret … So guess what? I got my boobs done!”
“I had a breast reduction over the summer and season 2, everything is going to be bigger except these boobs! … I’m so happy that I did it. I was a 42DD … I feel better. I can sit up straight. I feel lighter.”
“This summer you all may have seen your favorite actors and Hollywood stars have been on the picket lines with the SAG AFTRA and WGA strikes. There has been so much confusion about who can work and who can’t work. Well, I’m a SAG-AFTRA actress and I actually marched with some of my colleagues while in Los Angeles recently. That’s me with Viola Davis, Niecy Nash …”
“But here’s the thing, talk shows in general fall under a different union contract code, so we’re allowed to come back unless you’re a WGA show. The SHERRI show is not a WGA show and we have never employed WGA writers, so us coming back to work isn’t crossing the picket line.”
“As a comic, my comedic take on the headlines is my voice. I write the jokes. I’m the writer …Producers help me shape my words. That’s why we don’t have WGA writers at SHERRI.”
“My heart is breaking for all of the people that can’t work right now and I hope our industry can get this strike resolved soon.”
“I stand in solidarity with my union. One of the things that we’re fighting for is better residuals. … residuals during times that I was not working kept the lights on. My residual payments helped me care for Jeffrey when he was born at 25 weeks. So good residual payments are important to actors.”
“And the big sticking point is Artificial Intelligence – which could replace working actors from working. And it couldl replace writers. I’m here to tell you, A.I. can’t replace all of this sass …” See more inside and video clip…
