Sherri Shepherd never really shies away from a little flirting, and this time was no exception.

Yet her brazen cheek had the audience rolling.

The stunt was pulled as the ever-playful Shepherd fired some cheeky inquiries at Ellis, asking if he would date a “seasoned woman,” a woman who has a child, and even a woman who runs a talk show. Beautifully timed pauses added to the charm as Ellis played along with great humor. Half-joking about maybe creating an “Auntie Bachelorette” spin-off just for her was comedic gold.

Fans in the comments were loving it, with many cheering on Shepherd’s bravery; one user commented, “Sherri gone always shoot her shot.” Another voiced, “You better shoot your shot Sherri. That boy is FOINE!” The repartee was memorable; others added their own one-liners, one joking, “By ‘seasoned woman’ she meant an older woman…a cougar.”

Known for her quick wit and down-home humor, Shepherd must have made more than one comment on her past dating life as she shared a laugh with Ellis. Things got sweet while Ellis shared his plans for a future family; having a daughter and son would be divine for him.

The surprise disclosures continued while the laughter was flowing: Ellis revealed he had gone to an HBCU, Southern University, for two years; a commenter replied enthusiastically, “Ok SU, Louisiana baby. Get it Sherri.”

Well, it was all about fun, at any rate. On the other side of things, Shepherd is always good for entertaining her audiences. Whether she’s telling gag-worthy stories about her dream reality show or coyly flirting with a guest, it is this blend of comedic charm and authenticity that continues to bring fans back for more.

If by some chance this “Auntie Bachelorette” ever gets off the ground, there is no question that this woman would be the number-one choice for the role. In the meantime, viewers now have the aforementioned hilarious moments that speak volumes as to why she is one of daytime’s biggest gems.
