As Decider reports, the near-incident happened at the show’s top as Shepherd walked out and greeted the crowd.
As she made her cheerful entrance, the pin holding the top of her dress came off. Later, when she settled into her seat, she addressed the issue.

“We had a little bit of a wardrobe snafu. In daytime [television], you can’t have this much boob out,” Shepherd said with a chuckle.

Willie Sinclair III, her stylist, ran onto the stage to fix Shepherd’s dress.

“Before the doors opened, Willie said it’s too much boob … so he pinned it right before the doors were supposed to open up,” she explained. “And I was standing there praying for y’all… and as the doors were opening up, the pin popped. I just pulled it and threw it out! And so as I walked out, I could just hear Willie go, [gasp].”

She added that Sinclair III was “back here fixing it, but he keeps pinning it in the back, but I keep telling him it’s heavy. They’re going to keep pulling it forward. But we gotta do what we gotta do. So everyone, give Willie a hand.”

Sinclair III fixed the dress, and afterward, Sherri producer Jawn Murray let the audience know all was well with the talk show host’s fit.

“This is the magic of live television, everybody!” She said.

According to the St. Louis Dispatch, Shepherd will hit the stage with Kym Whitley for a live “Two Funny Mamas” show at the Grandel in St. Louis on March 10.

The event will include B-Phlat, Andre Lavelle, and local comics Larry Greene and Rafe Williams. A Q&A will conclude the show.
