Sherri Shepherd Got ‘Amazing’ Talk Show Advice From Oprah Winfrey

Sherri Shepherd is set to take over Wendy Williams‘ TV spot in less than a week’s time … and she’ll do it armed with some “amazing” advice from Oprah Winfrey.

We got Sherri Tuesday in rainy NYC, and she told us the “Oracle” — aka Oprah — gave her some wise words about how to conduct herself as she launches her own self-titled talk show.

O basically said the key is putting out good vibes, and Sherri must be following that advice already … because folks were chanting her name as she stepped onto the street.

There’s no doubt she’s taking Oprah’s words to heart — after all, she made a pretty divine comparison. Just check out the video.

As we reported, “Sherri” is movin’ into Wendy’s old stomping grounds at Chelsea Studios — promotion was underway last week, with a big poster going up where one for Wendy’s show used to be.
