In what Barbara Walters called "the worst-kept secret" on television, Sherri Shepherd joined The View for its 11th season. The 40-year-old actress and comedian was a guest host on the show on many occasions, particularly after auditioning for the seat Star Jones left vacant in 2006.
"I'm so excited," Shepherd said after making her entrance to Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' "Sherry" on Monday. "Oh, my God. I'm actually one of the girls. I'm here. And it's all good. I'm with all the ladies."
"The ladies" are Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and new moderator Whoopi Goldberg.
