Moving On Herself! Former Co-Host of 'The View' Admits She Quit Controversial Talk Show... Before Producers Fired Her

Former 'The View' Co-Host Reveals She Quit Before Being Fired

A former co-host of The View admitted she decided to leave the controversial daytime talk show just before learning that producers planned to fire her. The star has since found great success independently, away from the politically charged program.

Sherri Shepherd's Revelation

Sherri Shepherd shared the story during her syndicated daytime talk show while chatting with former Saturday Night Live star Ego Nwodim. Nwodim, who left SNL after seven seasons, reflected on the importance of moving on to new opportunities.

"I learned so much there, but it was the time to make space for something for me."

Shepherd, 58, agreed and opened up about her own departure from The View.

"Sometimes you have to just shift your energy. I co-hosted The View for seven years. I started feeling like I’ve got to leave, I want my own talk show, and I have to leave."

Shepherd then joked about discovering she had been fired after deciding to quit:

"I didn't know they had fired me before that!"

Nwodim humorously responded to Shepherd's story, addressing the audience:

"But, she was gonna leave! You didn’t fire me; I was going to quit! I quit before you fired me!"

The Challenge of Leaving Stability

Shepherd admitted that leaving the security of a steady paycheck was a challenging decision. She emphasized the need for growth despite the risks involved.

"It was that thing that does come up, it was just time. If I don't do it now, it will be stability, and I don't want stability."

Summary

Sherri Shepherd's decision to leave The View showcases the courage required to pursue new paths, even when stability is at stake.
