Barbara Walters Wants Sherri Shepherd Off The View

Posted by Karen Sugarpants

 

Sherri Shepherd has been getting on Barbara Walters last nerve.  

From The National Enquirer:

“Barbara has had it with her,” said the source. “Barbara was shocked that Sherri would say she needs to be ’saved’. She’s dumbfounded by the stupid things that keep coming out of Sherri’s mouth…

Barbara has been saying that Sherri’s a “loose cannon,” added the source. “And after hearing what she said to a Christian magazine, word came back from Barbara that she wants to boot her off the show.

“Barbara thinks Sherri has become far worse of a problem than Star Jones and Rosie’s O’Donnell when they were on the show - and that’s saying a lot!”

While Barbara is ready to see Sherri move on from “The View,” insiders say it’s unlikely there will be a dramatic firing.“Barbara may first give her a chance to shape up before shipping her out…

“And if Barbara does let Sherri go, expect a fun farewell with the whole gang saying only nice things about Sherri in public.”

I hate that show.  All the crosstalk between them gives me a headache.  They're like a bunch of baby birds in a nest - lots of squacking, bird brains.

I was sort of wondering how Sherri was on the show - I've only seen her a few times on there but one thing I distinctly remember is that she, no sh**, didn't know the earth was round and thought it was flat. For a few minutes I played along thinking, surely she's joking or playing a part... nope.

Wow, some of you are so cold. Let's remember Sherri is a human being with a child.

If you don't want to vote for Obama then don't vote for him. It is still free will and the vote has not happened yet.

I watch the View regularly and feel it is better than ever. With few exceptions I love this program and look forward to it everyday.

I would love to see Barbara retire. Keep Sherri!

Sharon, you obviously didn't notice that Ivan spelled Obama's name as OSAMA.  I'm tired of people butchering this poor man's name.

What kills me about this show is Barbara originally wanted women with differing opinions - but it seems as though she wants them a certain way.  Too radical (or stupid, in Sherri's case) and boom, they're gone.

I'd love to see Sharon Osbourne on that show.  Get rid of Barbara!

Sherry is not smart or funny.  She goes for base humor and Barbara doesn't get it.  Sherry is this century's Step-in-Fetchit.  She says things that she "thinks" she should say.  They need an intelligent young woman like Colin Powell's daughter who auditioned before Elisabeth got the job.  Elisabeth is not much smarter than Sherry, but at least she started doing her homework.  Keep Whoopi and Joy.  Recast everyone else, including Barbara.

Sherri is an idiot.  She's the first black blonde I've seen in public.  She and elizabitch need to be fired.  When ever there is a food segment, she grosses me out with her eating.  She's disgusting.

I don't know how she got on the show in the first place.  Who the heck is she?  She adds nothing to the show, but stupid comments.

Let's fire Elisabeth. That's my vote. And uh ivan - you're confusing.

Cindy W said:

I think they need to fire all of therm except Elizabeth. Whoopi, Sheri and Joy are so narrow minded. For someone to say that they are voting for Obama because he's black and he looks like them. They gang up on Elizabeth. If it's suppose to be the View then it should be an equal balance. This show is really gotten to far from where it started. May-be they should just pull the plug on the show !!!

Sandy said:

I think sherri is hilarious and kind- hearted. Joy, on the other hand,is bitter and angry.

She looks and acts "*issed" most of the time and is too political.

Fire Joy instead.

IN MY OPINION SHERRI HAS ADDED BEAUTY , HUMOR AND AN EVERY PERSON ELEMENT TO THE SHOW , IF ALL OF YOU CRITICS OUT THERE ARE SO SMART , THEN WHY AREN'T YOU HOSTING  A NATIONALLY TELEVISED TALK SHOW . THEY DONT JUST  PASS THESE SHOWS OUT. YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME SMARTS AND LOTS OF EXPERIENCE.

I HAVE FOLLOWED SHERRI'S CAREER OVER THE  YEARS AND AFTER SEEING HER ON SUCH SITCOMS AS  EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND , SUDDENLY SUSAN  AND SO MANY OTHERS AS WELL AS HER ROLE ON BEAUTY SHOP , YOU HAVE TO AGREE THAT SHE IS FUNNIER THAN HELL . HER OPINIONS AND ATTITUDE  GO WELL WITH THE DIFFERENT MIND SETS OF JOY AND WHOOPI ... NOW ELISABETH , ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW HER PAST OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER CAREER,PERHAPS SOMEONE SHOULD SCHOOL HER ABOUT BEING SO DEFENSIVE WHEN A SUBJECT MATTER IS BEING DISCUSSED AGAINST HER OPINION ,PLUS THAT SHRIEKING VOICE NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON

JOY AND WHOOPI AS WELL AS SHERRI COME FROM THE WORLD OF STAND UP , WHERE NOTHING YOU SAY OR DO WILL SURPRISE THEM , THEY HAVE HEARD IT ALL , SO PLEASE FOLKS , KNOW THAT , AND GIVE THEM ALL PROPS , THEY ARE TRYING TO ENTERTAIN YOUR BUTTS , THESE WOMEN ARE NOT MAKING WORLD CHANGING DECISIONS, THEY ARE ENTERTAINERS , YOU TOO ELISABETH

HERE'S TO THE WOMEN OF THE VIEW !

BARBRA . SMOKE A JOINT , RELAX !

Sheri is as annoying as Elizabeth, only in a different way. Niether have much to contribute in a serious conversation, and, likewise, neither add comic diversions..the "view" has gone downhill with the departures of meredith and starr.

and then Jules said:

AND - Karen and Jules BOTH missed Ivan's point - that the "loose cannon, mis-speaking" SHERRI SHEPHERD was the one who referred to Senator Obama as OSAMA. Now does it make sense?

I admittedly do not watch the show - thanks for clearing all that up KC - now my day is complete.

Fire the whole cast of dumb broads and cancel that asinine dribble they pass off for a show. It would have already been canceled by the network if not for the renewed interest when Rosie cam and shook it up

I love Sherri, she's real.  We all have our brain fart moments, yes, hers may be more frequent.  She is human though! We all make mistakes!  I agree with Sassy, lets get rid of Elizabeth if there is anyone that needs to go.  Even though I thought the show was to have many different "views" on issues in the world.

homer said:

If they get rid of anyone they should get rid of that ditzy blonde republican Elizabeth because she doesn't allow anyone to place there views on subjects.  She's about as dumb as they come that is why I dont watch the show because of her.

Ginger said:

If Obama is osama then who the hell is bush? If Shari is dumb how about blond bimbo Elizabeth? you people are so racist just can't say anything positive about a Black person. Well Shari's life will not end because Barbara fires her, that old woman seem to be the cause of the problem.  Why make a big deal after pretending everything was ok? ABC will get rid of her one day, BW needs to be save, what Shari did to her body is between her and God.  Barbara forgot she had an affair with a married man! give me a break.

Gabby said:

I agree with homer--sack Elizabeth!  Is the show contemplating a change?  Is that why they were on reruns all this week?

lovedannygansle said:

Cindy,

To say the women (who are not Elisabeth) are voting for Obama simply because he's black makes YOU narrowminded.  Incredibly narrowminded.  What if I said that Elisabeth were voting for McCain simply because she's stupid?  Yes, it insults everyone when you use baseless, hurtful "logic" like that.

It'sjustme said:

People have opinions and for the simple reason that those individuals opinions don't coincide with the "typical" opinion, that does not make them stupid.  What it makes them is an individual.  I think Sherri is a breath of fresh air with her honesty and bubbly personality.  If you want to take someone off The View, lose Elizabeth.  She's an arrogant, self-centered, prejudice moron.

Sherri Shepard is a moron and has demonstrated it over and over! Like the time she said christianity predated all other religions. IDIOT!

Please take a moment to really listen to Elixabeth. She is self-centered,righteous, and a poor listener.

Is she listened to people that have some life experiences that are different from her nsrrow-minded point of view she just might learn something.

I am embarassed she calls her self a Christian. But I believe she reflects the opinoin of many Americans.

Scary!

I agree with Elizabeth Hohnson:

Get rid of Elizabeth Haseselback- and keep Sherri. Or at the very least send Elizabeth to Tolerance training classes!
