Instant Karma: Sherri Shepherd Stops Live Talk Show Because She Got COVID, Not Because of WGA Strike

Share

This is Instant Karma.

Sherri Shepherd went ahead with her live talk even though there’s a writer’s strike. Now she’s been paid back by the universe.

Shepherd says she has tested positive for COVID and so her live show is cancelled for the rest of the week. If she’s smart, she’ll say it’s long COVID and wait until the strike is over.

Sherri’s show has been going on because she says she has no WGA writers, and just makes it up as she goes along. But the guild isn’t happy and it’s bad look for her.

Here’s hoping she gets well fast, and changes her mind about the show until the strike is over.
