Sherri Shepherd to Juggle ?The View,? ?Dancing with the Stars?

Sherri Shepherd will certainly be busy the next few weeks! In addition to co-hosting The View, the comedienne will be competing on Dancing with the Stars (premiering March 19), a gig that will require hours of grueling dance practice and late night, cross-country flights.

“As soon as the results show is over, we have to hop on a red eye and go tape three shows of The View and then come back immediately and start rehearsing," Shepherd told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's going to be difficult, but I work for a woman named Barbara Walters and she has taught me well about how to handle more than one thing."

Shepherd will be dancing with Val Chmerkovskiy, the younger brother of long-time DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy. It’s Val’s second season on the popular dance show.

"We'll put in the time," Chmerkovskiy said of Sherri’s packed schedule. "She has all the essentials to be successful in whatever style we do."

In addition to co-hosting The View, Shepherd, 44, also hosts the Newlywed Game and plays Tracy Jordan’s wife, Angie, on NBC’s 30 Rock. Sherri has also starred or appeared in Beauty Shop, Precious (a role that earned her much critical acclaim), and Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son. Fans can catch Shepherd in the upcoming flick One for the Money. She plays Lula.
