The View often gets people all riled up and viewers tune in to see what the next big 'fight' is going to be about. However, co-host Sherri Sheperd says the show is meant to be educational, not a battle ground. Could have fooled me!
Says Shepherd to Access Hollywood, "There [are] a lot of women that watch our show who don't know a lot about the issues and we bring that to them in a very simplistic, kind of basic way.
"I think we ask a lot of questions that a lot of the journalists can't really ask - a journalist can't look at somebody and go, 'I think you're lying,' like Joy does."
Sherri herself, has learned about the process of voting - something she had never done before. "This is my first time I'll be voting because I was in a religion where we didn't vote. So now... I'm learning a lot about the process, the political system, the parties."
As for the on-air feuds? Sherri says they leave it all at the table at the end of the show.
"It's just we get heated when we talk. This [is] a very intense election... we never compete because we bring different things to the table."
Shepherd didn't disclose who she's voting for (I'll give you one guess though), but she did say if Obama is elected, it would be a historic occasion.
"As a black woman, this is something that in my day, in my parents' day, in my aunts and uncles and grandparents' [day] - they never thought they would see it."
And where will Sherri be when the results are coming in? At co-host Joy Behar's house.
Shepherd says, "She [Joy] is loud, she is brassy and she's got a lot of wine flowing. So it's really a lot of fun being at Joy's house."
