As powerhouse comediennes and longtime friends, Sherri and Kym have been making each other - and audiences around the world - laugh for more than 25 years. The duo joined forces in stand-up for their Ladies Night Out comedy tour, which played to sold out theaters and arenas across the country. Also, to the delight of their fans, since 2015, Sherri and Kym have shared their love of laughter as co-hosts of the #1 R&B syndicated radio program, “The Tom Joyner Morning Show.”
Sherri and Kym are once again blending their comedic power to deliver a podcast that speaks to culture, sisterhood, moms and working women everywhere. Nothing is off limits when these two funny ladies get together to talk about life, love, motherhood, singleness, relationships, dating, pop culture, sex [or the lack thereof!] and everything in between. Raw, unfiltered and funny. That's what audiences can expect when Two Funny Mamas, Sherri and Kym, get on the mic!

About Sherri Shepherd:
Equal parts actress, comedian, host, producer, author, and entrepreneur, there’s no denying Sherri Shepherd is one of entertainment’s most diversified and flat-out funny performers. Currently starring alongside Gabriel Iglesias in the Netflix comedy “Mr. Iglesias,” Sherri also serves as a weekly co-host of “The Tom Joyner Morning Show” and Fox’s “Dish Nation.” Sherri’s dramatic turn as Leomia Banks in the film “Brian Banks” - as the mother to a 16 year accused of a crime he didn’t commit - received critical acclaim. No stranger to daytime TV, her role as co-host of “The View” during Seasons 11-17 helped earn the talk show its only Daytime Emmy.
Sherri has appeared on “How I Met Your Mother,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Man with a Plan,” “The Jamie Foxx Show,” “Soul Man,” “30 Rock,” “Abducted: The Carlina White Story,” “One for the Money,” Chris Rock’s “Top Five,” “Precious,” “Woodlawn,” “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa,” “Guess Who,” “Who’s Your Caddy,” “Beauty Shop” and “Ride Along 2” with Kevin Hart. Sherri also produced and starred in her own sitcom, “SHERRI” for Lifetime and co-hosted five successful seasons of the classic game show “The Newlywed Game.”
Sherri is author of the New York Times Best Seller “PLAN D: How to Lose Weight and Beat Diabetes Even If You Don’t Have It” [amzn.to/3bdEqS2] and humorous autobiography, “Permission Slips: Every Woman’s Guide to Giving Yourself a Break” [amzn.to/2VPThvJ].
Beyond the business, Shepherd deems motherhood as her greatest accomplishment. “My most important assignment is my 14 year old son, Jeffrey.”
About Kym Whitley:
These days, the majority of people know Kym Whitley either from her frequent appearances on Larry David’s groundbreaking HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” or from “The Tom Joyner Morning Show.” But that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Kym is actually a comedienne, actress, activist, author and - perhaps most importantly - a mother.
She got her start in the Shelley Garrett play “Beauty Shop,” which started in L.A. and wound up doing a national tour. Her TV career took off during the mid-to-late ‘90s. Kym has appeared in “Married with Children,” “Moesha,” “The Wayans Brothers Show,” “’Til Death,” “Meet The Browns,” “Animal Practice,” “Two Broke Girls,” “The Bay,” “Young & Hungry” and “Twenties” (among others). Kym is also no stranger to the big screen. She’s appeared in “Next Friday,” “The Nutty Professor,” “Along Came Polly,” “College Road Trip,” “I Love You Man,” “Something Like A Business,” “Delivery Us From Eva,” “Fist Fight,” and dozens of other films. She also voiced the character Melonee in 2011’s “Rango.”
Kym adopted her son Joshua in 2011 when he was just three days old. In 2013, Oprah Winfrey tapped Kym for the reality TV series “Raising Whitley,” which ran on the OWN Network and essentially told Kim and her son’s story. Today, Kym calls Joshua her “most treasured possession.”
In 2018, Kym published the book “The Delusion of Cinderella” [amzn.to/3btOqGM].

Losing him was painful...never met him but he was my daily entertainment.

[@lb1798]

Mine too...I still laugh at the skits and videos he left behind.🥰

[@lianespicer7623]

Same here--my daily entertainment since that first lockdown. I'm still tearing up every time I see anything about him.

[@biggechief]

He sure was, I never understood why it was not everywhere in the media. I only knew he expired because Sheri mentioned it on her show.

[@staceywhs86]

Me too loved watching him and ms julie

[@oonataylor-hester850]

I had the joy and pleasure of meeting him last year at his Netflix special "It Ain't For The Weak". He shook my hand and asked me if I enjoyed the show. He was so humble, warm and inviting. So my husband and I were very excited in looking forward to seeing him in Detroit, which was scheduled this past December. Our hearts were broken--and still is--because we will never get to experience him in our hometown. I just hate that I didn't get a pic with him at the Netflix taping, a regret that I will always have.

[@Goodvibesonly483]

Thank you for giving me a chance to see Julie. This was hard…. I love this family like I know them. A brother just doing the right things and just taken from us….. that hurt much. Praying for you julie and the girls, May the Almighty God continue to hold you. We love you 🥰

[@deeluu7560]

My Dad laid down for a nap at age 49 and never woke up. They said his heart stopped and it was natural causes with no autopsy and we couldn't afford to pay for one so who knows what the exact cause was. Black men die way too early. David did EVERYTHING right and still had his life taken smh Sending love and strength to Julie and the girls ❤️❤️

[@spickspan5718]

This is so sad...so many are going to sleep and not waking up atm...and they have one thing in common...they took something that was "safe and effective" which was completely the opposite

The loss of David A. Arnold is such a heartbreaking tragedy. Praying for all of his family members and friends. 🙏

[@erikparker6501]

I'd just discovered David Arnold about 2 months before his passing. He was such an incredibly gifted comic. Still shocked and saddened by his passing.

[@michellejackson9171]

The way David picked at Julie - all I saw and heard was MUCH LOVE and RESPECT! He appeared to truly love Julie! I mean David said "Julie" 1 billion + times a day. Everyone that knows David....definitely knows Julie! I feel like we family! 💓

[@PRHR718]

We needed this. As much as its rude to ask, it gives a little peace to know what happened. Two weeks before he died I was at his show listening to him tell a joke about how good his health was and telling Julie he could go get a younger woman if he wanted to 🤣. Then to get this news. This was a huge shock.

[@robnarie]

Exactly ❤

[@tawana2inspire]

Most people think because they workout they are in good shape but there are so many healthy things we eat that are not healthy aka dairy is one,bad oils,etc. He just had a heart attack. It could have been the stress factor also but I believe God said it's time.

Thank you, TFM, for doing this with Julie. Praying for you, Julie, and your daughters, and the rest of your families.

[@nataliemhibbert1760]

I cannot thank Julie enough for doing this, and for sharing such personal details about David’s cause of death. I will be sure to ask for an echocardiogram at my next annual checkup. It is so great to see that Julie is pushing forward moment by moment with such grace, peace and resolve. I’m so grateful to know that she and the girls are managing. I’ve been so worried about them all. I pray for them all the time. ❤

[@TheLovely990]

Aww! It's nice to see Julie smiling. Wish her their daughters the best. We all miss David Arnold. May he rest in peace.😊💞

[@rhondaclark5391]

I so admire Julie and thank her for sharing what happened to David. It really helps to know the “ why” because I was a recent fan and saw this healthy happy man and couldn’t understand how this could happen to such a good person. I will be praying for his wife and the girls! ❤

[@relationshipcoachingwithni4517]

I saw David here in Jacksonville Florida at the comedy zone this year before he passed and l got on his 🤬 nerves saying "where is Julie??? , We want Julie!!!". He said, "Julie don't tell no jokes she would be sitting right there beside you 😆😆" I said, "that's fine l would LOVE that don't come back without Julie!!! 😂". He was such a talent. 🤗😘

[@karenmayfield8522]

I have ALWAYS loved the way Julie laughed at David. The way she looked and laughed at him was so lovingly. 😄❤️

[@milawy8115]

Yes. They were so in love. He loved being on her nerves and she'd just laugh at him. Her smile and laugh was the best part of his videos.

[@queenebonyqueenebony]

He picked a wonderful woman-she’s reaching out to new widows-ALL the best to this beautiful family ❤

[@TheNaturali1]

Thank you Sherri and Kym and most certainly thank you to Julie for coming on and updating us on how she and her girls are faring without David. My prayers for you all continue. God bless and the safest and best for you ALL in 2023.

[@tlmurry85]

Julie, I'm so glad to see you smile. I'm walking along with you during your first Christmas without David. This is my first Christmas without my husband of 31 years and to be surrounded by an awesome support group. I pray God continues to give you the strength you need. Love you my sis. David's laughter helped me with my grief.Julie you said something that I will start speaking that way. I go to with my husband 37 years. We had breakfast together and left the house and within 20 min he had a massive heart attack and had died. They revived him but he passed 4 months later

[@KarlaWithaK]

Kym Whitley, you are BE-YOU-T-FULL! It’s great to see you and Sherrie still doing this Podcast, #twofunnymamas #2funnymamas !!! Thank you for doing this with David’s wife, Julie. His fans, like me, really appreciate getting to hear from his “rock.” So often, people talk about the kids, but don’t give proper space and acknowledgement of the Wife. David did and I’m glad you have, too! I Love you, Ladies!❤ #davidaarnold. #davidarnold #kymwhitley #sherrieshepherd #blackcomediennes #blackcomedy #davidarnolddeath #juliearnold

She does not look like herself since the cosmetic surgery…I only recognized the voice.

[@missw.6204]

This was such a good interview ladies ! Thank you for giving Julie the space to speak on her own terms . This somehow gave me closure because I was so confused to how he passed away . …….. God bless their entire family !

[@kishathompson5024]

I’m so happy this video came to me because I’ve been wondering how his family was holding up … I wish she had spoken about his mom, but I hope we’ll be able to hear from her soon. David passed the day after my bday and I didn’t know of him until then. When I read that he passed I began to research who he was. I fell in love with him, his comedy and his family immediately. I watch his videos almost everyday … even the ones from years ago … boy he cracks me up 😂 He seemed like such a good soul … wow I’m still sad about him because he had so much talent that needed to be shared with the world, and now his beautiful daughters have to grow up w/o him. There are terrible people who exist in this world and they live to grow old … but the great ones die young. We’ve been losing some great people way too soon. Rest well King … we miss u ❤

[@dstreet43]

David transitioned on my dad's birthday 9/7

David's passing devasted his fans. I spent my off day mornings watching you guys and his live posts. Sending beautiful Julie and the girls love prayers and hugs 🙏🏾💖💪🏾

[@MrsRollinDiva]

THANK YOU SHERRI & KYM FOR BRINGING JULIE ON!!! As an OHIO Born & Bred losing David was a gut punch I couldn’t shake for weeks only to lose my sister the next month(Oct. 18th). And to find out that David passed away from THE EXACT same genetic heart issue as my ex-husband is absolutely mind blowing. My Ex-husband was a gym rat, bodybuilder, and health nut. And our sons were the same age as the girls when he passed. It’s been 11 yrs since Dan passed and although we had divorced we remained connected because of our history as childhood sweethearts and our kids. And I had my boys checked as well afterwards. And now that they are adults I stay on them to keep getting checked. Thank you Ladies! And continued prayers and abundant love to Julie and the girls!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@cynthiacummings0917]

Thank you guys so much for letting us see how Julie's doing. We are genuinely concerned about her and the girls. Julie, I pray you and the girls had a great time on your trip. Love y'all so much and you're continually in my prayers. 🙏🏽❤️

[@Lorato_lee]

"get yourself one of these things called family, it ain't for the weak" 😂. I was hoping he'd visit South Africa one of these days. It's so tragic when one dies from something you never knew you had. I too (gym fanatic, always eating healthy) collapsed in june. Diagnosis was clots in lungs. I was lucky to have collapsed at a meeting 5 min from hospital. A colleague was not so lucky in 2021 (same diagnosis), ambulance took long..

I am so happy to see Julie and hear how she and the girls are doing. I keep them in prayer. I also appreciate her sharing with us fans what really happened to David. David and his family came on my radar the first summer of the pandemic and I just FELL IN LOVE with them all, they kept my LMAO!!! They’re comedy and transparency was a breath of fresh air. I had tickets to see him in October and so devastated at his passing because I knew what he was/is to his family. I definitely want to support his foundation and anything you have set up for Anna-Grace & Ashley. We may never meet but y’all family as far as aim concerned and I love y’all and wish you all THEE BEST as you go forward. Peace & Love to you.💜🙏🏽

It took me a while to watch this video because I truly feel as though I’ve lost a loved one and I’m still grieving this huge loss. David A. Arnold loved a BIG life and he brought so much joy with videos of the family. Julie, you, the girls and Ms. Barb are in my prayers. The world isn’t as bright since David’s been gone but I know his presence is still around you all every day. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been a voyeur in your lives. Thank you. 🙏🏾

Thank you ladies, and thank you Julie for doing this. We needed to see you and hear you talk about it. I discovered his clips here on YT during the first lockdown and I fell in love with all of you. I needed the laughter! I'm still in shock and the loss feels so very personal although I'm just a fan in a country thousands of miles away. Wishing all David's loved ones health and healing and happiness. He left such a beautiful legacy behind that I know he will always be with you.

I suffered 3rd degree burn.Hearing Julie speak was confirmation to me in so many levels you truly do have to go through the process & trust God through it all. And yes your Mental Health is important. Julie you & your husband got me through some difficult,traumatic, & lonely days. When I heard of yiur husband's death I took a walk by the river & prayed for you & your beautiful girls. One scripture I relied on was in the book of Isaiah. It says God will give you & me "Beauty instead of ashes, & the oil of joy for mourning in place of mourning so that the spirit of heaviness would be lifted. God Bless You Julie.

Thank you for sharing this interview with Julie. Sending continuous prayers to Julie, their daughters, family and friends. I am happy I found David's channel three years ago. Not only did I love how he presented his comedy I absolutely LOVED the realness of their relationship. ❤❤

I love seeing Julie moving through this process. Grief is hard. One day at a time. ❤️

Thank you ladies for this interview with Julie. We really loved David and all his comedic treasures that he and his family has shared with us. We love you all, Blessings. Maybe the three of you and your families could a reality show for us? Your thoughts?

[@ttfordever76]

I followed him for twenty years. He was so funny. I also enjoyed his youtube. Shocked and emotional when he passed. I lost my dad at 12. So I understand his family grieving. Life does go on. But memories last and treasured. We will all keep him with us thru his family and comedy.

Thank you for the opportunity to hear Julie's perspective. We all love this family so much that although she was calm and mechanical about explaining David's medical condition, it still hurts! David was a work horse with multiple projects, so glad that Julie has spiritual, and strong moral support from so many people, both personal and professional. Their two young babies (teens) all of us are still mourning him. Julie, our family loves you and your darling daughters, God will continue to give you loving strength and peace! 🙏✌️🥰♥️

[@cokoladie1]

Julie is so strong 💪🏿 I am still praying for her, the girls, and Mama Barbara. We miss him, sorely. ❤️❤️

[@Yolanda-wr2pn]

Thank you for doing this. I pray for Julie, the girls and fur babies as if I know them personally. God comfort them right now. ❤

[@sexytrinny52]
