Sherri Shepherd Loses Her Wig During Talk Show and Says, ‘The Show Must Go On’

When you’re live in front of a studio audience anything can happen, and this time it happened to talk show host and comedian, Sherri Shepherd (although it had to be staged).

During Tuesday’s episode of her syndicated show, Sherri, Shepherd was discussing the recent viral video clip of pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts’ wig slipping off while in the middle of her sermon, but continuing on in spite of it, and just delivering the rest of her presentation wig-less.

What America then found out is that Sherri would experience the same fate, when she shared her own experiences with wigs.

Sherri explained, “Here’s the thing, when you wear wigs, you are trusting the person that put the wig on, that it’s going to be secure. The thing about wigs is when it starts sliding, you can feel it slide. Because you will start out with it down here, and all of a sudden, it starts making its way up. Especially if the wig weighs a lot. And all you can do is what Sarah Jakes did, which is pull it forward.” The talk show host added, “You can’t throw down the mic and walk out and go fix it. The show must go on.”

However, as Shepherd was talking about Jakes and wigs, she jumped out of her chair, and as she did her wig fell straight down hanging on the band that attached it to her head.

Once the wig completely fell off, the camera went to the audience who seemed apparently shocked and thought it was very funny.

Being that Shepherd is a comedian, it was clear this has to be a spot in the show that was determined ahead of time. Nevertheless, it got the reaction of the day on mainstream media and in the talk show world.

Watch the bit featuring Sherri and her wig below.

Writers Strike Comes to an End; Leadership Votes To Conclude Work Stoppage

September 26, 2023

It’s over! After 148 days, the 2023 Writers strike will go down as the second longest in WGA union history, only a labor stoppage in 1988 was longer.

The strike will officially come to end on Wednesday at 12:01am PT. This was due to a vote from the guild’s leadership that now has authorized its over 11,500 members to return to work.

That means: pitching and selling scripts, taking meetings, responding to notes, writers’ rooms opening up again, and more, can now restart.

The WGA committee shared that the vote, “Allows writers to return to work during the ratification process, but does not affect the membership’s right to make a final determination on contract approval.” However, WGA East and West voted unanimously to lift the “restraining order” on Tuesday.

As the negotiators shared, the end of the strike doesn’t mean that the tentative agreement that the union reached with producers on Sunday night is a surefire thing: Union members still need to vote to ratify the contract. Union leadership announced on Tuesday that will take place between October 2nd and October 9th.

However, SAG-AFTRA still remains on strike. So, even with the writers returning to work, many productions can’t move forward without their principal actors and performers.

So soap fans, how do you feel about this news for your favorite shows? Glad that the head writers and their writing teams will be back at work as soon as this week from Days of our Lives, General Hospital, and The Bold and the Beautiful? Y&R’s Josh Griffith, who previously had gone Fi-Core during the 2008 strike, remained at the top rated show during the last several months.

It’s Official! Former AEW Champ Jade Cargill Signs with WWE

September 26, 2023

All the reports and the rumors have been confirmed. Former AEW TBS Women’s champion, Jade Cargill has signed a new multi-year contract, but with rival WWE.

Cargill, who was AEW’s longest-reigning TBS champion and wrestled her last match on AEW TV programming just two weeks ago, started with WWE on Tuesday at its Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

In her first interview since joining WWE, Cargill spoke to ESPN and shared that a decision has already been made if she will go straight to the WWE main roster, or if she will first perform for its developmental brand, NXT. Jade teased that fans are just going to have to stay tuned to see just how she will make her arrival.

In AEW, Cargill was a force to be reckoned with having held the AEW TBS Championship for Cargill for 508 days. She lost the title back in May of this year, and had been off AEW TV for quite some time, until a few weeks ago when she lost her final match to Kris Statlander.

Cargill, 31, has been wrestling professionally for two years. She has close ties to Cody Rhodes, who Jade admitted in her chat with ESPN, was one of the top two reasons she came to WWE.

AEW CEO and Owner, Tony Khan was asked about Cargill’s exit during a media call on Tuesday. Khan shared that he wished Jade all the best in her future and said he has nothing but positive things to say about her. Khan added Cargill would always be welcome in AEW.

Check out Jade’s first interview since becoming a top signing for WWE under their new umbrella TKO Group, below.

Now let us know, who do you think Jade will have her first feud with in the WWE? Do you think she has found the perfect fit for her talent in WWE? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
