When it comes to Sherri, like, they announced that she would not be renewed. I'm not gonna say the show was boring. Fuck it, it was boring. Listen, listen, listen. I've tried to watch the show a few times and Sherri is just too safe. And if you're gonna be a safe talk show host, then your guests have to be unsafe.
