Sherri Shepherd, the ex-co-host of "The View", has revealed some juicy gossip about the show's former host Barbara Walters and the late comedian Richard Pryor. According to Shepherd, she heard from the late comedian Paul Mooney that he had walked in on them having a moment together.
When Shepherd shared the information with her fellow co-host Joy Behar, they decided to take it to Barbara Walters directly and ask her about the fling. But Walters only admitted to an affair with Senator Edward Brooke in her memoir, "Audition: A Memoir".
The two women noticed how much Walters seemed to enjoy interacting with Colin Powell when he was a guest on the show. After some prodding, Behar finally revealed to Shepherd that Barbara had a thing for "chocolate men". Shepherd then shared her observation that Walters was "all the way over here" whenever Colin Powell appeared on the show. Behar agreed, adding "It's true, it's true, she loved a brother."
Sherri Shepherd is now the host of her own daytime talk show, and recently had Behar as a guest. She thanked Behar for being an inspiration behind her lounge setup on the show - a nice reminder of the time they spent together on "The View".
However, the show recently had to be put on hold due to Shepherd's COVID-19 diagnosis. The show released a statement, saying that they would return with new episodes as soon as possible. For now, encore episodes from the beginning of the premiere week will air in place of the original show.
Sherri herself said "I am absolutely heartbroken that I cannot return to host my show this week. As soon as I get the all-clear from my doctor, I look forward to returning strong to deliver the fun, laughter, and a real good time."
