ARTICLE: Oprah Winfrey to Appear as a Guest on ‘Sherri’

After seeing an early screening of “The Color Purple,” a musical adaptation of the original 1985 film, Sherri Shepherd announced on today’s episode of her daytime talk show, “Sherri,” that Oprah Winfrey will be in studio to talk about the new film in which she co-produces with Steven Spielberg. Winfrey is set to sit down with Sherri on Wednesday, December 13.

“I’ve got some huge news. Oprah is coming to the ‘Sherri’ show! Next week! What?!? I’m so excited – because next Wednesday the queen of daytime talk shows herself will be here,” Shepherd told to her studio audience. “Do you all realize how huge this is? I called her and she said, ‘Yes.’ Actually, she said, ‘YES’ (said in a deep voice/impression of Oprah). That’s what she said. I’m beyond thrilled because there is so much I want to ask Oprah. Where do I even begin? 

“You all know that since I’ve gotten this show,   I’ve been speaking to Oprah on the phone. She’s giving me advice but now we’re going to be face to face. I don’t know what I’m going to do. When I sit next to Oprah, do I do my Oprah impression for Oprah? ‘Hello, everyone. It’s so wonderful to be here….’ (said in a deep voice/impression of Oprah)  I want to soak up as much knowledge from Oprah as I can.

“Does Oprah have dating advice for me? … she and Stedman have been together for a long time. I literally want some of the Oprah magic to rub off on me. And I’m going to tell you that it’s going to be a really good time. One thing for sure I can tell you is that when we get together for this show, you better expect the unexpected but don’t be expecting no cars! We are not giving cars away.  … I  do have a fun surprise for  Oprah so make sure you tune in   … Oprah Winfrey will be here next Wednesday. We are going to start a  countdown. It is six days until Oprah Winfrey is here. I can’t even talk …A good thing to be excited about!”
