Sherri Shepherd's Inspiring Comeback: Lifetime Movie Role

0:00What's up? I'm Corey, and these are your entertainment and celebrity headlines. Sherry Shepard is bouncing back fast after her daytime talk show got canceled. Just weeks after the news, she announced she's starring in a new lifetime original movie called Angel in the Rubble. It's the fourth project under the Robin Roberts Presents Banner, and the story comes from a best-selling book about 9-Eleven's last survivor. The film follows Janelle Guzman, a New York City transit worker, buried under the collapsed first tower. She was trapped for 27 hours, reflecting on her life and faith while praying for rescue. Shepard plays Guzman and is also executive producing alongside Robin Roberts from her rock and robin productions. Earlier this month on March 6th, Shepard shared her excitement on Instagram, talking about sitting still before big moves. Fans have been supportive, cheering her quick pivot to this inspiring role. The cancellation hit about a month ago, when Lionsgate said her show, Sherry, would wrap after its current season.

1:00They praised the show's momentum and Shepard's talent, blaming changes in daytime TV instead. Lionsgate plans to shop the show to other platforms, and Shepard called herself disappointed, but grateful. She highlighted living her dream for four years, with strong ratings and real impact.
