In July 2007, Jawn convinced Sherri Shepherd to take the job on "The View." Sherri told the story on-air in 2014 when he guest co-hosted the show. While working out her contract for the talk show, Shepherd's former agents botched negotiations with ABC and Murray convinced the comedienne to call executive producer Bill Geddie directly. That ultimately salvaged the situation, ABC extended their offer again and Shepherd joined the hit show.
