Sherri Shepherd ignores your negative posts: ‘I don’t like being driven batty’

having co-hosted “The View” for seven seasons (2007-2014) and, last season, frequently guest hosting for Wendy Williams, who missed the entire season of “The Wendy Williams Show” — which was cancelled after 13 seasons by Debmar-Mercury, the producers behind “Sherri.”“It’s a completely different setting and we’re in a new studio,” Shepherd, 55, told The Post. “Am I borrowing anything [from ‘The Wendy Williams Show’]?

Nope. I’m not a borrower; I’m coming on with something that’s unique — because if you try to borrow from someone else, it doesn’t work.”Shepherd answered a few questions about her new talk show and what viewers will see when “Sherri” hits the airwaves.Not only do I have the experience of co-hosting “The View” but I’ve been a game show host on two game shows [“The Newlywed Game,” “Best Ever Trivia Show“] by myself for an hour at a time, which is a lot of ad-libbing and improvising.

I co-host an award-winning podcast with my bestie Kym Whitley called “Two Funny Mamas” and have been doing that for three years.

I do standup, where I stand on stage for 45-to-90 minutes and talk by myself … so I think doing [“Sherri”] by myself makes it a little bit easier for me.Absolutely.
