Sherri Shepherd

And I remember I was at a church one time and the pastor said, some of us have not had our dream come true, but sometimes you have to mature into the reality of that dream because Because if something happens or there's a crash or burn, if you haven't matured into it, you're going to crash and burn. You're not going to know how to get back up.

So I think a lot of times when people have this success too quickly and they don't have anything up under them going, I can keep pushing because I know God done done this for me when this happened. I know this has been happening. I know I have this experience. And you are right where you're supposed to be.

He has seasoned you up so that you when you come out and people adore you and appreciate you. It's because they can relate to all that life experience you are bringing into your character. It is right there. When I tell you, girl, I sit on my couch, and I mean my talk show couch, and I'm like, Laura, why you gave me this talk show at 54 years old? You know I'm tired.

You know I ain't got no stamina. Laura, who is this person sitting there? I'm going to tell you this. One time, Lorenz Tate, he came on the show. And he was sitting across from me. I said, okay, who is this? I know him. I know him. But his name slipped from my mind. Yes. Lorenz Tate, you watching this? I know who you are. Like everything he had ever done. Old dog. You know, like everything.

And I was like, but I can't remember his name. And we talk. And I was like... And then God just gave it to me. I mean, Janet Jackson came, I jumped up and I said, I think I didn't, I think I got to go to the bathroom. Like it's, I go, why you give it to me now? When I'm, you know, I can't run out there and be dropping it like it's hot and running up and down the stairs.

And cause he's like, cause I need you to be settled. That's why. Because if I gave it to you in your 20s, you'd be all out in the streets. You'd be going to these clubs. You wouldn't be home and getting sleep when you're supposed to. You'd be feeling yourself. Angels wouldn't be able to do nothing with you. Because they like she in the club. She at some kind of party. She ain't so...

Right where we're supposed to be. I forgot what you asked me.

Crystal, in the waiting phase, everything that I did, I am able to use in this talk show space. I just, you know, when it didn't happen for me in the talk show realm, I really got back to my stand up and stand up is what I do when I first sit in my chair. I do stand up. I was, you know, I'm able to talk for 90 minutes on the stage so I can do, you know, 19, 20 minutes in that chair.

So that worked together. When I was on The View, I learned how to read a prompter. I do that every day. When I was a co-host on the show Dish Nation, I was by myself in the studio in LA while Da Brat and everybody in Head Crack were in Atlanta. So I had to pretend, look in that camera and pretend like we were all together. So that's how I talk to my audience.

Even though I'm reading words on a prompter, I talk to them like we're all in the room together. So all of that experience...
