The Jamie Kern Lima Show - How to Question What You Were Taught, Discover Your True Self & Embrace Your Power w/Sherri Shepherd

Starting point is 00:00:00 On today's episode, how to question everything you've been taught and become your true self with Emmy Award-winning comedian and talk show host Sherry Shepard. You've talked about crying for three years straight on The View. How did you get to that point of saying, okay, I'm going to open my mouth and half people aren't going to like me? I used to carry the weight of the world on me. Oh, I can't let black people down. I can't let black women down. I can't let Christians down.

Starting point is 00:00:32 This is a big thing that I'm excited to talk to you about because so many women, but also people, let's just put it out there. There's so many people. We have all this pressure now to post on social. And then you do, and you get attacked. There's going to be so many millions of people listening or watching this that are going to have an aha moment right now, as Oprah would call it, where they're like, wait a minute, I have learned a lot.

Starting point is 00:00:54 How many elections have you voted in? Because I know for a while you didn't vote, right? Yeah, I was a general. I didn't start voting. until I got on the view. I'm definitely about unifying. I thought the country was ready for a woman. I really did.

Starting point is 00:01:09 And as a black woman, I thought the country is ready for a black woman. And I have a son who's 19, and he's on the spectrum. So many things are flying that Stop and Frisk may be implemented again. Well, stop and frisk affects young, brown, and black boys. So with Stop and Frisk, as a mother, that's very terrifying to me. The one thing that I know I said to the audience is that laughter unifies. Do you like you're born funny?

Starting point is 00:01:42 Like it's just part of your anointing or part of your personality? It definitely is, that is a specific gift from God that I have. I just know that when I sit in that chair, it's a responsibility, especially now, Because people are in despair, they're worried about their kids, they're worried about, you know, am I going to have a job? They're worried about racial issues, and they need an hour to just go, I don't want to think about that. I just want to laugh. That's what I'm here for. Welcome to the Shamy Khan Lima Show.

Starting point is 00:02:22 Oprah, how have you defied the odd? Her show is unlike any I've ever done. A revelation. When you listen, it feels like a hug, but your brain and your spirit and your heart is like, wow. Melinda French Gates. When I look into Jamie's eyes, I feel like I am on some other cosmic level with her.

Starting point is 00:02:46 I could see the light around her. She's infused with light. Imagine overcoming self-doubt, learning to believe in yourself and trust yourself. and know you are enough. Welcome to the Jamie Kern-Lima show. Jamie Kern-Lima is her name. Everybody needs Jamie Kurn-Lima in their life.

Starting point is 00:03:05 Jamie Kern-Lima. Jamie, you're so inspiring. Jamie Kurn-Lima. They say laughter is the best medicine. And my incredible guest, Sherry Shepard, is medicine for millions of us daily on her hit television talk. talk show, Sherry, and let me just tell you from firsthand experience, it is funnier than ever.

Starting point is 00:03:33 Sherry is an Emmy Award winning, NAACP Image Award winning, Gracie Award winning, and that's just a few of them, host, actress, comedian, author, and mom, known for her impeccable timing and relatable humor. From her main seat on the View for seven years to her wide range of acting, business, and hosting roles. She's truly the definition of a multi-talented superstar. I fell in love with her when I got the gift of being a guest on her show this year. An actually funny story of my husband, Paolo, fell in love with her when he heard she appeared on an episode of WWE Smackdown as a guest manager

Starting point is 00:04:15 to professional wrestler MVP. Sherry has truly done it all, and yet her star is burning brighter than ever right now. And speaking of stars, Sherry will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year, so well-deserved. Sherry Shepard. Welcome to the Jamie Curranly, Michelle. Oh, my goodness, Jamie. Wow. I was like, who is that girl? You're like, is that me? Oh, man. That's you. Wow. What an honor you're here. Thank you for having me. I'm so excited. That's a lot of pressure. I feel like I'm supposed to be, you know, after you read all of that, I'm supposed to be. You know, after you read all of that, I'm

Starting point is 00:04:53 supposed to be like really great I think you can't help but be really great and it was such a gift to be on your show recently and that's where I just got to see your beautiful soul and feel it I just want to kick it off with this topic of being funny so it's like study show study show laughter improves every part of our health our mental health our mood our entire life and you call yourself a time, a good time. And so many of us, we want to be more of a good time in our lives. And, you know, I hear from a lot of women that are like, as an adult, I feel like I'm, I've lost touch with my sense of humor. I feel like I don't even know if I'm funny anymore. I don't know how to have fun. So right off the top, Sherry Shepard, how do we get in touch with our sense of humor

Starting point is 00:05:49 and, like, how can we be more fun and funny? Do you think you're born funny? Like, it's just part of your anointing or part of your personality? It definitely is that is a specific gift from God that I have. And it's not to say my funny is better than other people because I'm not the, my whole family is funny. I'm not the funniest person.

Starting point is 00:06:10 I'm probably the least funniest, but I do make money at being funny. My family tells me all the time, that wasn't funny what you said. That one, and when we all get together, you would crack up at everybody in my family. They're funny. So I don't, even with men, sometimes I'm very serious.

Starting point is 00:06:28 You know, and they go, where's that cherry? Or people who work for me, Jamie, they, I will tell them, the one that you see on the chair, I'm much more scripted. Like I work really hard to create that first 20 minutes that I sit on the chair. It takes an hour for us to come up with 18. minutes of material or 14 minutes of material and I'm a perfectionist so I'm very serious about the business part I think some of my dates go wow you're kind of serious yeah well this is probably why you're able to make money being funny because you have both sides to you you can

Starting point is 00:07:04 bring it when you need to but then you are also you probably have that other part of your brain where you're like oh this has got to be good because most people I meet who are really successful no matter if they're an artist or an entertainer or a business person doesn't matter they have that side to them they're very serious yeah i have that side of me i'm really i'm really about business i'm very serious about my you know my if you ask my assistant edie is sherry funny she'd be like no if i mess up with geoffrey i don't want to see that side of sherry like i and i'm and i know a lot of comics like that who are you know when they're in front of the camera they are so funny but then when you see them off the camera serious is a heart attack yeah my my co-host on my podcast

Starting point is 00:07:48 Kim Whitley, when we're together. She makes me laugh, but she's very serious. I'm thinking of somebody, Nisi Nash, my other bestie, very serious. When we're talking, but when we have to go out, we can pull up. So when you feel like saying something and you know it's funny, do you ever doubt it or do you just like let it come out? I don't even think, oh, this is going to be funny. I just say it. I just, and it makes people laugh.

Starting point is 00:08:12 It's just the, now I do know it's the way I look at things. Like the way I look at things is a typical person will see a circle. I look at things through a square and I try to fit that square into the circle and it doesn't. And that's my funny. I don't think about it. I just say it. Wow. And it's so it's the lens at which I look at life.

Starting point is 00:08:36 So I don't look at it in a normal, you know, kind of way. Like I think a rant that I did on my show was about going to the podiatrist. and him cutting my corns and touching my feet. And the way I looked at it was like, it was like a whole sexual experience. And it was so amazing. And the way he did it and how he said, you know, I need you to wear orthotics.

Starting point is 00:08:59 And I was like, I do. I do. I will wear orthotics. I don't think about, oh, this is going to be funny if I say it. That was just the experience. And I came in to my, the Hot Topics meeting. And I said, I just had this experience with this podiatrist. Let me tell you about it.

Starting point is 00:09:13 And once I saw they were on the floor, I go, well, we can use it. So I don't, I guess I don't, it just comes out. Wow. And it's the way I look at life. So look at life a little bit different. Don't look at it through the average type of lens. See, look at it a different way. You know.

Starting point is 00:09:31 Like I just went to the podiatrist and that was a sexual experience. That was, yeah. And like even now, even like with the election without getting political, it's like, you know, it's a different day. Now we have to, we have to now fight for our rights. We have to. And my immediate mindset, I was talking to a bunch of very accomplished women and we're very concerned about how do we, how is this world going to be for our children

Starting point is 00:09:51 and, you know, standing up for our rights and fighting. And I go, well, what, okay, when you say fight, like, I have sciatica. Like, what kind of fighting are we doing? Are we talking about fighting, you know, intellectually? Because I just stayed up to five in the morning watching the mayor of Kingston. So I'm a little tired. Like, how much fighting can we, and marching is not for me because I have flat feet. So do I have to wear my orthotics when I march?

Starting point is 00:10:16 Is it going to be a bathroom near when I march? And, you know, I can't see. So I don't even know if I'm my eyesight. I need my reading glasses. You know, am I going to be able to read the signs that we got to make? And, you know, I'd show up on time. So all the young people, like marching is a young person's game. And it was just, I just started going off on this whole ran about marching being for young people

Starting point is 00:10:40 because they got the stamina. Their feet aren't going to hurt. They don't have to go to the bath. room when when they start going you know they're coming run okay i can't run i get my my knees is going to give out i don't drop it like it's hot and they were all laughing and i go but seriously this is what i'm thinking so during an election recap during an election recap so i i can get on stage and talk about the election for 50 minutes and make it funny yeah because the way i look at you know it's serious to me but some of the way i look at it is is just a little different like you

Starting point is 00:11:12 find the humor in it. I find the humor in it. Yeah. Yeah. How are you feeling about the election? How am I feeling about the election? I'm very disappointed because I was I thought the country was was ready for a woman. I really did. And as a black woman, I thought the country was ready for a black woman. And I and I thought this is I was so excited about Kamala Harris because I felt Kamala Harris, she may not be a biological mother where children came from her womb, but she's a mother. That's why she, you know, like she has her stepdaughter, her stepkids. And she, I felt finally we're going to have a woman who has mothering instincts and nurturing instincts who can run the country. If you, women, we've run so many things. And there's, you know, I'm definitely,

Starting point is 00:12:05 we have things that men don't have. Our femininity, our softness, our compassion, our, our empathy and I thought this is what we need somebody who's going to sit there and go you you we're not doing this war thing we're not uh-uh we're going to come to the table we're going to sit down and we're going to talk until one of us is tired but we're going to look for solutions rather than just clashing somebody who can who can empathize over here and over here because that's what we do when we have to you know negotiate things and I thought finally You're going to see what a woman brings, the strength and the power of just being a woman. Why people love being around us, why a mother can take you in her arms and say, it's going to be all right.

Starting point is 00:12:56 I don't care what happens. Anybody who goes to a courtroom, they could commit the worst crimes and their mama will be right there going, but that's my baby. And I said, we're going to have someone leading a country like that who just has these qualities. that have not been seen so i it for me it was disappointing and i have a son who's um he's 19 and he's on the spectrum geoffrey jeffrey and so it wasn't so much worried about me it was how do i explain this to a boy whose brain processes differently he doesn't understand project 2025 he doesn't understand so it's a lot of stress on me because i think that they said you know And I don't know if it's true or not.

Starting point is 00:13:43 So many things are flying that stop and frisk may be implemented again. Well, stop and frisk affects young, brown, and black boys. And my son is now trying to get his independence as a 19-year-old. So I allow him to get on the train and just go and get off. He just hasn't let me know where he's at. He took the train to Brooklyn to go to a net's game. but he went three hours before the game started because he just wanted to walk around

Starting point is 00:14:14 and he just wanders around and he because he's got this he'll say mommy I'm so excited but you don't see it on his face and he'll say I'm so excited and so if you just look at him he just looks like a grown man who just is kind of blank but he's taken and everything

Starting point is 00:14:32 so I let him walk around Brooklyn for three hours he went to he said mommy I met getting an ice tea mommy I went to this Chip I'm sitting down eating. Mommy, I'm at the Barclay Center. So I'm going in the museum. But it was very scary for me, but I said he needs to get his independence.

Starting point is 00:14:50 He needs to feed. He's 19-year-old things that happen in his body. But his brain doesn't process everything. You know, so he doesn't, he has a hard time sensing energy. So bad energy, he doesn't sense. He just walks around very free. If you talk to him, he'll give you a big smile. You know, he's got a job working at the movie theater, taking tickets, and so he's very innocent.

Starting point is 00:15:14 So with Stop and Frisk, as a mother, that's very terrifying to me, because for somebody who's on the spectrum, if there's a lot of people saying, get down, put your hands by hand, that confuses him. And he's going to be like, dude, I can't be, he doesn't like to be touched. So all of these things, as a mother with a child, an adult, but he's my baby. of special needs this this scares me because now I have to go home and explain to Jeffrey I just can't let you go and go to a restaurant by yourself and you want to walk around the block because he wants to be like the teenagers that he sees he points him out all the time mommy I want to be like them they're just walking around just walking around you know Jeffrey forgets to bring his ID with him he he's you know

Starting point is 00:16:03 he's just not aware and if my son saw the windows broken out of our house with the door hanging wide open he wouldn't think oh somebody made broken out I better call my mom he'd go he'd go inside he could see five people sitting at the table who don't belong there and he go what's up bro and go up in his room so now hearing that and going my son wants independence I want him to find independence I want him to be able to walk around New York City he can't I how do I explain to him that I cannot allow you to do that and then I don't want to put fear on them but I'm scared so what I think about the election it is concerning to me I did not vote for Donald Trump I voted for Kamala Harris and Tim Walts because her message of moving the country forward and it being a new day and unifying I'm definitely about unifying I said that on my show we found out that Donald Trump had become president of the United States and I go how do I go and make people laugh there will be a lot of people that are going to be happy and there are going to be a lot of people who are devastated there's a lot

Starting point is 00:17:19 of rights that are going to be rolled back with Project 2025 you know education if you don't know your history then how you're going to know what your future is and that was a heavy day for me but I said the one thing that I know I said to the audience is that laughter unifies and I could hear grumblings in the audience there were people who were very happy they they clapped when I said there's some people that are going to be happy today and some people clapped and then I could hear grumbling in the audience of people who didn't who had voted another way and I said but if you would allow me to do what I do make you laugh because that's what I know how to do with my eyes close let me do the work for you and they clap and so the one thing I know is is humor and

Starting point is 00:18:11 laughter it's needed I have friends who think what what I do is you know you talk show you're great you're entertaining you're actor you're great but it's not it's not moving the world it's not changing the world don't tell me that it's it's needed more than ever and I feel it's like an assignment from God I'm thankful that he's using me because there's people who are funnier than me but I just know that when I sit in that chair it's a responsibility especially now because people are in despair they're worried about their kids they're worried about you know am I going to have a job they're worried about racial issues and they need an hour to just go I don't want to think about that I just want to laugh

Starting point is 00:18:58 that's what I'm here for I'm not going to give you the news of the day and this is breaking news and this political and this and then I'm disappointed I need to find a way to move on and I need to find a way to unify and I need you know and I want to love so but there but those are the issues that can you know as with this election how does this affect my child who's on the spectrum who just really isn't aware what are you going to do like because he's 19 and I'm I'm struggling with that I'm I'm really really struggling with that because I want him to grow up and not be fearful. I want him to grow up with as much independence as he can have. I want it to be happy and be at a job that he loves

Starting point is 00:19:44 and he loves people. Like, you know, I'm scared for my son. My son, you know, he came to me years ago and he's like, Mommy, I like, I like him to have big butts like a Kardashian. That's what he said to me. And I said, well, you know, Mommy got a big button. He's like, oh, well, that's gross. But my son goes to

Starting point is 00:20:07 a special needs school. So really, everybody he's growing up with, the girls have been white. That's all he knows. And his cousins are black girls, our little black girls. And his experience with them is, they always call and going, Auntie, Jeffrey won't do this. Jeffrey won't do that. So that he gets in

Starting point is 00:20:24 trouble with the black girls. he knows so that he's never been around a really maybe one black girl that he liked in a school he was like but she likes all of the white boys so when he came and he said that to me I'm like it's very funny so he went to a prom with a girl who was white there's this girl yeah he told me not to talk about him too much but it's like so that concerns me because I'm like him walking down the street with all of this stuff going on if somebody confronts Jeffrey he he doesn't it like all that doesn't bother him even him right he rides a train now to school by himself and I go does anybody say anything to you he goes yeah but I just ignore it he said I sat next to a guy and he woke him

Starting point is 00:21:12 he's like why are you sitting next to me and I go what did you do he goes I just ignored it so what am I going to say Jamie I don't know I'm praying and all the time going, okay, we're here. This is a new day. And now I have to teach my son, Lord, how do I do that with the way the challenges that he faces, the way he processes in his brain? How do I do that? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:21:38 This is the first time I've ever been a mother of a child that has special needs. And it's, you know, who doesn't just get it.

So with you dating, do you look for like, is there a type you have? They have to be funny. Yeah? And I have to, humor gets me. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:24:48 If you're funny, I like that. Because I think that can break a lot of, that can break a, you know, I love to do a good belly laugh. Yeah. And I have a good sense of humor too. So if somebody does something and they make me laugh, like a big gut laugh. Yeah. You got a real big shot with me. I love.

Starting point is 00:25:07 But my husband was a comic, Jeffrey's daddy. He was a comic. If I see you on stage and you can make me laugh, I'm like, oh, man. So humor really. is a big one. Do you feel like it's great because you can actually just like exhale and let them be funny

Starting point is 00:25:23 because you're often so funny and then you don't have to be all the time? When I don't have to be all the time. It's kind of like a meeting of the minds because if you're funny, you can get, you know, I know you have your series, but now I can't be with a man who's funny 24-7. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:37 That drives me up the wall. Yeah. Like, just be chill and just let it flow. People try to be funny all the time. Comics try to be funny around me all the time. I can't. I have to walk away. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:49 So if I go on a date with you and 24-7 you're funny, I'm just like, oh, this is awful. Do you have a physical type? Like you mentioned Jeffrey likes the Kardashians. Do you have like a physical type you go for or one that you will not go for? I can go for a lot. I don't like them real tall because my ex, my, my, my, the last ex-husband was six, five, six, that's too tall. Like even, even in bed, it is just, it's all off. like it's the it's too tall even when you take pictures you got to do the camera a different way

Starting point is 00:26:24 he's cut off or it either looks like i'm the little girl holding his hand it's just off you know i'm always looking up like this that one like that and i don't feel like you can protect me when you're that tall because all somebody's got to do is kick you in the knees and you're going down like you like a big giant that's going to go down so i like short guys i do i like short men who are compact but they got the short man anger which i like to because they you know it's always something that's going to set them off because they're short and you like that i do i do so i like men there to probably let me see i'm five one probably five seven and eight that's that's the cut off right there you're making a whole lot of people's days right now that's like i'm never okay okay

Starting point is 00:27:10 yeah give me give me a short but i but i like a man who's healthy yeah who takes care of himself So if you're like a couch potato and you want to sit around in your underwear and friggin' drink beer and burp and fart, I'm not that one. Like I'm at the gym. I'm trying to take care of myself. I walk. It's not like I don't climb mountains and go hiking and lay out in a tent out at night. But I do like going to the gym. I do like to walk.

Starting point is 00:27:40 So if you're somebody who likes to take care of yourself too, I like that. Yeah. Are you dating now? Anyone now? Yeah, this is what I learned. This is what I learned in all of my public marriages, public divorces, really observing social media, the moment you start putting stuff out there, everybody wants to know who they are. And what I realized in putting stuff out there, they did not ask for this life. I asked for it.

Starting point is 00:28:16 Yeah. So it's not fair. And I also feel like there's something I would like to protect. Yeah. I'm so open with everything that I talk about. I even talk about dates that I go on, but I never mentioned a name. I never, I never, mm-mm. But it's just like, there's got to be something.

Starting point is 00:28:34 I think people overshare so much on social media. Yeah. We're so wanting everybody to see us holding hands and wearing the t-shirt of I'm his and he's mine. And we got to show people us kissing and, you know, eating together. And that's great. That's great. But I think it should be a period of date for a minute and get to know them before you let the whole world into your life. Because a moment something happens and you're like, please respect my privacy.

Starting point is 00:29:00 Please don't make any comments. But you've given it to us. You have opened. Once you open the door and social media to people, they don't forget. It will always be dredged up even though you've healed from it. And I think you get the opposite. You probably also date people that, you know, they know you're famous. And they're like, oh, I want to be out.

Starting point is 00:29:22 Like, I want to be out there. Have you ever had that happen? It's a protective thing. I don't want people thinking that if they go on a date with me, we're now going to be posting on Instagram and they get that. I have been, I have been hurt before like that. Like, okay, all you want to do is go on the red carpet. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:40 Wow, all you want to do is you want me to introduce you to Tina Faye. to read your script. Oh, that has happened before. And I can, I can sense it. Yeah. And it really, and I go, oh. So, yeah, I have definitely experienced that. So you voted in this election.

Starting point is 00:29:57 I did. How many elections have you voted in? Because I know for a while you didn't vote, right? Yeah, I was a Jehovah's Witness. So I didn't vote for, I didn't start voting until I got on the view. Like, I was not into politics. Like, I really could talk about politics all day with somebody. Yeah, I bet you can.

Starting point is 00:30:12 I love politics. Yes. Barbara Walter said something to me that made me do it. When people talk crazy to you or you feel like you fail, it really is, I feel like, don't look at it as failure. Just get back up and fix or course correct. But we need that. And for the view, I didn't know anything about politics.

Starting point is 00:30:33 I never voted before. And one time Barbara Walter said to me, dear, read a book. All I knew was what the church taught me. That's what it was. I didn't think for myself. I just knew what the church had taught me. or, you know, what I had learned when I was a witness.

Starting point is 00:30:46 So when she said that, she was like, read a book. And what I realized is sometimes we have to get out of where we live. We have to go travel the world. We have to meet people that are different from us. Because when you don't, that's how you get prejudice. And that's how you get judgmental. When you don't meet people that are not like you, when you meet people that are different from you.

Starting point is 00:31:08 And I just remember that what Barbara said to me. and we were talking about something on the view and I remember what I learned but whoopi said but what do you think what do you think about that and I was like I don't know so you know just in that's so powerful I just want to say that again

Starting point is 00:31:31 because there's going to be so many millions of people listening or watching this that are going to have an aha moment right now as Oprah would call it where they're like wait a minute I have learned a lot, I've been taught a lot, but wait a minute, what do I actually think? Not what does my partner think, not what does my parents think, not what did my teachers teach me to think? What do I actually think? Yeah. And so now, yeah, so you got to have Whoopi on because she was just, that one hit me, what Barbara said, what Whoopi said, Joy Behar said, because I used to carry the weight of the world on me when I was doing the view.

Starting point is 00:32:08 Oh, I can't let black people down. I can't let black women down. I can't let Christians down. That's a lot to carry. And Joy Behar said to me, Sherry, the moment you open your mouth, half the world is going to hate you. So, you know, go by what you feel and what you think. And once I started stepping out of my comfort zone and out of where I lived in a little Hoffman, Estates, Illinois, and I got to meeting people, I'm I went, oh, you can't possibly be evil.

Starting point is 00:32:46 Your heart is so beautiful and I'm supposed to love. And how am I gonna judge you for who you married when I couldn't even make two of them work? I couldn't get through two. They lasted both total, maybe six, seven years and you have been with your partner for 21 years. Somebody doing something right. Right.

Starting point is 00:33:09 This is a big thing that I'm excited to talk to you about because so many women, but also people. Let's just put it out there. So many people. We have this pressure now to post on social. And then you do and you get attacked. You say your opinion. You get attacked.

Starting point is 00:33:22 Most women are raised people pleasers. Everyone's afraid to say what they think. And then, you know, Joy Behar shared with you, if you just open your mouth, you're going to make half the people hate you. But life's too short to keep our mouth, like to live with a close. like to live with a closed mouth our whole life. Coming up, this conversation is so incredible. We made it into two episodes.
