Sherri Shepherd

Sherri Shepherd is a veteran television host, actress, and executive producer who has built a broad career across daytime broadcast commentary, dramatic screen acting, and live stage performances. She is widely recognized for her regular broadcast hosting duties, quick wit, and onscreen commentary on daytime television.

Shepherd made a major dramatic turn by starring as Genelle Guzman-McMillan in the Lifetime original television movie Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story. In addition to portraying the real-life account of the final living survivor pulled from Ground Zero after spending 27 hours trapped under concrete and steel following the events of September 11, 2001, Shepherd also served as an executive producer on the feature film alongside Robin Roberts.

Beyond her television screen work and broadcast obligations, Shepherd expanded her performance schedule to the New York theatrical stage. She secured a high-profile limited engagement playing the Genie in Disney's hit Broadway musical Aladdin, taking over the wish-granting stage role for a limited takeover run on the Great White Way.
