Sherri Shepherd to Helm the New ‘Newlywed Game’
(Black America Web) — Actress Sherri Shepherd is making sure she’ll never be a bag lady. The “View” co-host and recurring character on “30 Rock” has yet another gig. No, she’s not among the “For Colored Girls” cast, but she is the newly installed host of the new “Newlywed Game.” The classic game show from the 1970s has been revived by Game Show Network and is now in its fourth season. The latest season premieres today, Nov. 1, at 6 p.m. EST and will air weekdays at that time. “This is a show that I’ve grown up watching, but I never dreamed I’d be the host,” says a giddy Shepherd. She has signed on for 65 episodes and will be able to collect some good frequent flyer mileage as “The Newlywed Game” is moving production from New York City to Los Angeles. “The View” tapes in New York City.
