Melissa delights us with a peek into one of TV’s brightest stars — Sherri Shepherd. Her charisma and drive took her from hit show to hit show and soon Sherri was on top of the world — just don’t ask her if it’s round or flat. But as these stories often reveal, the VIEW from the top isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.

Sherri was one of the funniest women on tv, but things at home were anything but happy. Torn between work and caring for her son with special needs, Sherry struggled to make things with work with her first husband leading to their eventual divorce. She remarried and what follows with husband number two landed Sherri and her husband in court over a battle about surrogacy and parental responsibility.

In an episode chock full of great tv clips and one decent Ba-ba Wa-Wa impression, this episode will also make you ponder what you might do in a similar situation.

Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:

Melissa: Chimp Crazy, MAX

Rebekah gave three clues for the next episode:
