Sherri:Talk show ending in latest daytime TV shake-up

Shepherd says she's brainstorming next steps

In a statement sent to USA TODAY in February, Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus cited the "evolving daytime television landscape" as the reason for "Sherri" ending.

They added that the decision "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," the statement reads. "We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms."

Shepherdaddressed the newswith her fans a few days later, stating, "I'm not ready to throw in the towel on this show just yet." She added that she and her team will continue to fight to keep the show "alive in some way, shape or form."

In arun-in with TMZ,Shepherd said she's brainstorming her next steps and thought about podcasting, but is cognizantofthe oversaturated space. The television personality is also considering putting more time into acting. The multi-hyphenate entertainer recently starred inTyler Perry's Netflix thriller, "Straw."

"Do I go back to being an actress? Do I go back to doing sitcoms? Do I go back to doing dramas? It's just a lot of options out there," she said.

Jim Gaffigan, .38 Special to perform at The Ledge, tickets on sale

Since it opened five years ago, theLedge Amphitheaterhas become an entertainment mecca in central Minnesota, drawing attendees from across the region, country and world. Two new acts were recently announced: comedian Jim Gaffigan and .38 Special.

As summer rolls along,Gaffiganis in town July 19.

The 60-year-old comedian is touring the country, from June 4 onward, including through this autumn and into the holiday season. The Chicago-area native has been doing standup since the early 1990s. He's also been in several movies, television shows, commercials, and a USO Tour.

Gaffigan’s material often addresses fatherhood, laziness, religion, and food . He is considered a "clean" comedian, seldom using profanity during his performances. The several successful comedy specials he has released have all received Grammy nominations, while "The Jim Gaffigan Show" — a sitcom about a couple raising five children in a New York City apartment — began in 2015 and lasted two seasons. Gaffigan has a degree from Georgetown and is married with five children.

They are known for hit songs, such as "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up in You," among various other top 40 hits, primarily during the 1980s and 1990s. The band’s highest-charting U.S. hit is the 1989 ballad "Second Chance," which peaked higher on the Billboard Hot 100 than their other songs.

Guitarist/singer Donnie Van Zant — who was part of the band for nearly four decades until 2013 — is the younger brother of Lynyrd Skynyrd co-founder and frontman Ronnie Van Zant.

Current members of .38 Special include Don Barnes, Bobby Capps, Barry Dunaway, Gary Moffatt and Jerry Riggs. Just last summer, the band announced the release of their first album in 21 years, titled "Milestone."

Located between two quarries several miles to the west of St. Cloud, the Ledge Amphitheater has a capacity of up to 6,000 guests for outdoor entertainment. The must-see destination preserved its granite history by transforming an abandoned quarry into a park. It welcomes several music concerts per year along with comedians, movies, community events, vendor shows, and many other acts and performances.

With the Ledge’s 2026 lineup expecting to be among the best yet, a new season of talent across genres starts soon, when country rock singer Brantley Gilbert comes to Waite Park on May 22.

The Ledge’s box office is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday and is located at 1700 Parkway Drive in Waite Park. Tickets are also available through the venue's website,www.theledgeamp.com/.
