Chrisleys- ugh
Love your show, but the Chrisley’s episode- those people are absolute crooks! I cringe when the one producer referred to the Chrisley’s being “taken” - referencing when they went to jail! Hard pass on this one. They should not be given any kind of platform.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sherri Shepherd on Telling a 9/11 Survivor’s Story, The View & Making Broadway History

Q: Who approached you to tell this story, and how did the collaboration start?

Robin Roberts invited me to take on the project; we built a partnership where she advocated for me to be executive producer, and that support helped shape both the performance and the production's scope.

Sherri Shepherd on Telling a 9/11 Survivor’s Story, The View & Making Broadway History

Q: How did you prepare for the role, given the claustrophobic setting and the need to portray a real living person with sensitivity?

I underwent intense rehearsals, vocal and dance training, and I had to enter Genelle's emotional space without embellishing her story. I even stood in a recreated rubble set for hours to understand the experience, while filming in a real, controlled environment to preserve authenticity and respect for her life and memory.

Sherri Shepherd on Telling a 9/11 Survivor’s Story, The View & Making Broadway History

Q: For people who, okay, for people who don't know, tell, give us a synopsis of her story because it's fascinating.

Genelle Guzman-McMillan was the last survivor pulled from the World Trade Center rubble; she faced 27 hours buried alive, found hope thanks to a firefighter named Paul, and later found faith and purpose in life, a story of resilience, courage, and community resilience during 9/11.

Inside the Real Wolf of Wall Street: The Story Hollywood Didn't Tell

Q: How did you end up at Stratton Oakmont, and how did you perceive the initial environment?

I joined because I wanted to help people and to be part of something, but I quickly understood the intense, macho, high-pressure culture.

Inside the Real Wolf of Wall Street: The Story Hollywood Didn't Tell

Q: What was your first reaction to being asked to tell the real story about Jordan Belfort?

I was surprised there would be interest in a story from 30 years ago, but I agreed after realizing there could be a unique female perspective.
