He\u2019s from Chicago,\u201d Shepherd said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome on. You don\u2019t get popes from the Chi. They make them special when they come straight from the Chi. That is my heart right there, my Chicago pope. I\u2019m not even Catholic, and I\u2019m just in love. You make that make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comedian also weighed in on modern dating, saying social media has become her go-to source for free advice \u2014 even if she doesn\u2019t always follow it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new world with dating. I get all my therapy on TikTok, because it\u2019s free,\u201d Shepherd said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey tell me that when a man texts or calls me, I\u2019m supposed to wait 24 to 36 hours to answer him back. Well, in the season I\u2019m in, I won\u2019t remember who texted me. I have to get back to you right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Describing herself as \u201cold school,\u201d Shepherd said she\u2019s not a fan of long phone conversations before a first date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot take three hours of my time telling me all of your problems what your grandmother did and didn\u2019t do and we haven\u2019t even had a ribeye,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, you make that make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to touring, Shepherd highlighted an upcoming film she executive produced with \u201cGood Morning America\u201d co-anchor Robin Roberts.<\/p>\n<p>The movie, based on the true story of <span data-teams=\"true\">Genelle Guzman<\/span>, is expected to be released around Sept. 12.<\/p>\n<p>Shepherd also reflected on her career milestones, including receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and her time on \u201cThe Jamie Foxx Show\u201d and \u201cThe View.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shepherd\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sherrishepherd.com\/\">\u201cMake It Make Sense\u201d tour<\/a> is Saturday night at Lisner Auditorium, with the show scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>More information about her tour dates and projects can be found at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sherrishepherd.com\/\">sherrishepherd.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"single-page__signature bottom\"><em style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600;\">Get breaking news and daily headlines delivered to your email inbox by signing up <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wtop.com\/newsletter-signup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"single-page__signature bottom\">\u00a9 2026 WTOP.
