VIDEO-Sherri Shepherd Explains Departure from The View with Bible | Mediaite
During their tearful goodbyes on The View this morning, Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd each gave various reasons for their departure (new projects, etc). Shepherd, however, explained her exit with some biblical weight.
“Seven in the Bible is the number of God’s completion,” she said. “And I’ve been here seven years and my time at The View is complete.”
In order to quash some rumors that her contract negotiations had fallen through, Shepherd added that she’d planned her exit “since spring,” but stayed quiet so she wouldn’t attract attention away from Barbara Walter’s much-ballyhooed retirement extravaganza.
“I’ve been blessed to interview Barack Obama and Bill Clinton — he loved that I played a hooker in One For The Money, she joked. “I get the chance to call Oprah Winfrey a friend, and that’s a long way from being a legal secretary who wanted to tell jokes.”
