Actress, comedian, author and daytime talk show host Sherri Shepherd stopped 草莓传媒 studios to talk with Ralph Fox about faith, dating and her latest projects all while promoting her 鈥淢ake It Make Sense鈥� comedy tour, which arrives in the District on Saturday night.
Shepherd shared her thoughts on Pope Leo, joking about his Chicago roots.
鈥淲hy is anybody messing with Pope Leo? He鈥檚 from Chicago,鈥� Shepherd said.
鈥淐ome on. You don鈥檛 get popes from the Chi. They make them special when they come straight from the Chi. That is my heart right there, my Chicago pope. I鈥檓 not even Catholic, and I鈥檓 just in love. You make that make sense.鈥�
The comedian also weighed in on modern dating, saying social media has become her go-to source for free advice 鈥� even if she doesn鈥檛 always follow it.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a new world with dating. I get all my therapy on TikTok, because it鈥檚 free,鈥� Shepherd said.
鈥淭hey tell me that when a man texts or calls me, I鈥檓 supposed to wait 24 to 36 hours to answer him back. Well, in the season I鈥檓 in, I won鈥檛 remember who texted me. I have to get back to you right away.鈥�
Describing herself as 鈥渙ld school,鈥� Shepherd said she鈥檚 not a fan of long phone conversations before a first date.
鈥淵ou cannot take three hours of my time telling me all of your problems what your grandmother did and didn鈥檛 do and we haven鈥檛 even had a ribeye,鈥� she said. 鈥淪o, you make that make sense.鈥�
